  1. Am I going insane or is there some technical reason two motors wouldn't work? The dumb hub has two ports, after all
  2. People will only complain about wanting RC if the gearbox version isn't done well. Here, as you correctly point out, it isn't done well.
  3. More kinetic sculptures would be cool. Imagine a clock powered by gravity that you can hang on the wall, or something like this that you can tune to be accurate:
  4. Oh shoot nvm I'm totally wrong about the bevel gear profiles, all good !!
  5. I never understood this. The bevel gears already have involute profiles running down the centreline, so they can be readily used as spur gears. The bevel profiles are only on the side.
  6. Markus Kossman is the GOAT. Absolute bangers - 8275, 8288, 42009, 40243, 42055, 42100, etc etc
  7. I could imagine a solution for inline engines with one-stud piston spacing like here, but not for V-type and opposed engines
  8. Shorter suspension links make for shorter vehicles, pretty much
  9. Omg my prayers have been answered Compact live axles here we go !!
  10. Dear lord yes!!! And this part with no friction:We do have it with cross-axles but they don't have any clutch power
  11. Considering the small scale and some of the absolute goofball sets we've gotten in the past, I think the proportions here are alright. I reckon the cab height problem can be solved pretty easily by replacing some of the yellow pieces with black ones to bring the black colour lower, see quick and dirty edit below: The only other thing would be having a new tyre mould for the 30.4x20 rims, rather than what they went with here. Alternatively, you could swap the yellow wheels for black ones, and add some sort of 4-stud diameter yellow hub assembly to make the rims look smaller.
  12. Sweet heavens I remember being absolutely in love with the complexity of the Concorde build, it's probably my favourite Lego building experience ever. It's got the entire suite of construction techniques - Technic, small bricks for SNOT, large City clamshells, long beams, tiles, C-clips. It's got everything. Having watched Balazs' review of the Shuttle Carrier, it looks like it's gonna be even more interesting than the Concorde, even if the final thing's aesthetics look a bit dated. The only thing that's probably not gonna be as enjoyable is the Shuttle, it looks like a kinda boring and basic build
  13. Oh one thing I do actually really like about the set is the teal seat
