alansmith Posted May 12, 2018 (edited) Hi, I'm getting the parts together for the Avtoros Shaman 8x8 MOC https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-5360/Madoca1977/avtoros-shaman-8x8/#info It requires 8 of the 11949 Technic, Steering Wheel Hub Holder with 2 Pin Holes and 2 Ball Joint Arms. https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=11949#T=P&C=86 The current price of these on BrickLink is around €12 each, and has risen sharply in the past few months. I was wondering if it would be possible to use the 23801 Technic, Steering Wheel Hub Holder with 2 Pin Holes and 2 Axle Holes and two Axle Towballs. It looks like it would work based on the models in LDD. Has anyone tried this on a model? Here is an example of how they are used in the Shaman build: Edited May 12, 2018 by alansmith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LvdH Posted May 12, 2018 (edited) Use the ones from the Porsche/Claas. They should work perfectly. Edited May 12, 2018 by LvdH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Didumos69 Posted May 12, 2018 This should indeed be a valid alternate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The demand increases (this popular moc uses 8), supply decreases, price increases. Same thing happened with #3 connectors years back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
