    I suppose we could use 2 of them for tethered flight, but a non-lego battery should be allowed in a 'lego' plane, if non-lego wings are

    well, it's not like you can't get the girl faces, get the girl hair, and stick it on a boy minifigure. there are already different races, indiana jones has them 'less blowing up stuff'? what is that supposed to mean you don't see one explosion in any lego :thumbup: :thumbup:

    Exactly! Sariel, I saw zblj's research, it's good, but this time we can do it if we try Gliding has been done, grohl did it, but not gliding with a battery box or motor on board Yes, I know how those motors wear down but that last experiment, the kite, actually flew tethered. we could make like a 2 metre wire, tie it together, use a transformer if the power decreases We are planning to do some heavier than air flight, we know blimps work actually, a hot air balloon made of lego could count, if someone can attack a spark plug to a battery box, that is powered lego flight, only the spark plug wouldn''t be lego, and the balloon casing, and the fuel everyone, keep working, we can make this happen there is a lego lithium lipo battery

    I have many creations, but most of the ones that actually took pictures of are on the Mindstorms webpage, under community, in EV3 Log. Here is the link, if anyone wants to see it. http://www.lego.com/mindstorms/community/profile?builder=Anton1678

    Changing Color of Technic Parts

    anton1678 replied to __________________________'s topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling

    Well, I think there is a technique called hydro-dipping that is good for plastics. It might work, though it leaves a film on top of whatever it paints, not good with LEGO. I would just take out the parts that I have the required colour of. I made a model once, an NXT Zamor Sphere launcher (under my username on EV3 Log ) and I tried multiple colour schemes. I just took it apart bit by bit, replaced it bit by bit. I look at models to build on the internet sometimes, and I always use the red-black-orange-dark grey colour scheme on the instructions I find.

    [MOC] Toyhauler RV w/ slideout

    anton1678 replied to droomangroup's topic in LEGO Town

    Awesome MOC! There is space for a battery box though, and a motor, so it would be cool if you installed power functions.

    Mine too. I'm pretty sure that most people aren't exactly willing to put on their actual worst MOCs. I think people are putting on their "worst" as a way to show off how good their "worst" is, and to make you imagine how good their best must be. my MOCs are really great function, but really bad looks, and I usually break them up after about a week, no photos taken.

    just keep it as it is! it works, so why make it better?

    A 6:1 gear ratio would probably work, it can pull large weights actually. If it doesn't work, try a larger gear ratio, like 9:1 all you need is to position a motor at the base, then the gears, and then the boom. Since that's not much support at the base, it could bend or slide off, make sure you connect it well. It will move slowly, if it doesn't, it's the wrong gear ratio. This is much simpler that an actuator, so i recommend using it if you don't have that many bricks, or don't have that much time.
