    I may also be interested, I mostly want 5x7, and 5x11 frames and some assorted other parts. Assuming a good price I may be wiling to buy some. You can PM if you would like.

    Perpendicular gearage

    I used instead of the 2 single bevel gears, 1 double bevel.

    Is this only for written reviews or are video reviews part of the program too? I would like to better my video reviews? Thanks!

    Thanks for the review! Now I know that I don't want that B-Model and well maybe not the A-model either

    I have had this book for a while and defiantly recommend it, and I won't hold back, I rate this book 10/10.

    Sorry, I just built it for you, if you want me to I'll make an LDD file but I think you can just copy it from the video.

    The rules I am outlining for myself for this different no electric motors, no batteries, 100% Lego, and No Pneumatics. I am doing this because of the cheap price of Pull-Back Motors on BL, so I thought It would be worth a try! My first idea was basically to use a singe pull back and go motor and the large motorcycle wheels. It would look something like this: But It was not fast enough ( : So I have the Idea to actually add more Pull-Back motors. Using 4 of the newest ones I am hoping to get an increased speed using this method I have 3 more of these motors on order and am eagerly awaiting their arrival. I want to see if anyone else on this forum might have another idea I am willing to hear their ideas.

    I this at all what you want? Definitely not the best, but something. You can switch out the 2 black bevel gears for 2, 24 tooth gears if you want slower motion.

    In my opinion I would just buy Amazon Basics Batteries or Eneloops, They will be a bit cheaper, not from a no-name brand, and I use them and they work with Ev3 just fine. https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Rechargeable-Batteries-8-Pack-Pre-charged/dp/B01FJAL4PK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1501721996&sr=8-1&keywords=amazon%2Bbasics%2Bbatteries%2Brecharge%2BAA&th=1 https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-BK-3MCCA8BA-Pre-Charged-Rechargeable-Batteries/dp/B00JHKSN5I/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1501722086&sr=1-1&keywords=eneloop+aa P.S.

    [WIP] Fastest Lego Technic Motorless Car

    Not really what I was thinking about, but pretty cool.

    I am not an expert, but if I draw too much power from one battery box it shuts off, mine never overheats, Did you try a different box, maybe that ones protection circuit is broken?

    Sure I'll try that!

    I have been thinking about trying to just make a fast car, I am not really quite what you are looking for in this topic, but well I am trying...

    Bostons Brick Closet replied to mahjqa's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling

    Yes I guess in some applications it could be used but there is not nearly as much flexibility as detached motors.

    I think that for MOC builders the Included motors in the command brick will make it hard to integrate into their models. Furthermore the programming is probably not very powerful, like the tablet Mindstorms programming app.

    What are the Different Functions that can take up 20 separate channels (5, 4 port Sbricks), I only see that drive and the belts are motorized. How many of the 13 XL's go to drive? BTW. Great build... Wow... Good Job I guess it is math: 9 BWE = 1 Super BWE
  20. Bostons Brick Closet
    Cool, I love getting inspiration from these projects!
  21. Bostons Brick Closet
    Check out this thread they have lots of cool videography tips!
  22. Bostons Brick Closet
    I really think that 3rd and 4th Functions should be allowed to help driving. It could really foster creativity.
  23. Bostons Brick Closet
    Great Idea, I am also interesting in trying to do this competition... One rule I disagreed with was no third function that affects driving... I think that allowing this would boost creativity. For the track I like the same track Idea. If we keep the track in a few meters square size and draw with chalk I can see everyone being able to do it. Am I wrong?
