[MOC] Excavator. Single motor, fully functional.
MinusAndy replied to McMarky's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
In an increasingly Bluetooth hub and many motors world this is most refreshing and also brilliant. Followed on t’flikr. -

MinusAndy replied to Romanista's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Outstanding! And a way cooler car than a Ferrari! -
Def Leppard drummer's kit made out of Legos
MinusAndy replied to JohnsLegos's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Awesome build! Surely it should contain 1 lift arm. -
Working electric guitar
MinusAndy replied to Davidz90's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashbory_bass the strings are silicone rubber and operate at a much reduced tension, all of which sounds like exactly what you need. -

Ashbury made a bass with rubber strings. They might suit the aesthetic and tension needed for that. Great project though! -
Jurss' Workshop

This looks a little like the tamiya sand scorcher chassis, particularly the front suspension. -

Great model! Instantly recognisable and impressive features at that scale. -
(help) Effersen Rotator
MinusAndy replied to thequeenjo's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Without seeing this, could you have the differential in upside down? That would make it spin the drive shaft the opposite way and snap at a universal joint. -
making 2 helicopter rotors spin
MinusAndy replied to JohnsLegos's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Could you not use a pf m motor directly on each rotor? It looks deep enough. -
MOC Fairchild A10 (WIP) pics added
MinusAndy replied to MinusAndy's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Maybe I’ll try it as simple as possible first and see if there’s a problem. -

Thanks folks. I think I’m going to put a clutch in front of the pump so I can disconnect it if necessary. @Johnny1360 I don’t doubt there will be another strip down before it’s done! -
MOC Fairchild A10 (WIP) pics added
MinusAndy replied to MinusAndy's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I haven’t posted on here in ages, I got the a10 to a point where I couldn’t get the landing gear mechanism to work reliably in the way I want to so after several iterations of the gearbox for the landing gear I have decided to go down the pneumatic route and already the advantages are clear. So much part and hence weight reduction, which at large scale is vital I think. I’ve built the nose section and wing root. The cockpit and controls are laid out, front undercarriage and door are now working perfectly using a single short piston. I have a question regarding pneumatics: I’ll be building a pump that runs constantly using the same motor that runs the gun. I have an air tank (which is what the A10 is) if I run the pump constantly is there a way to vent extra air from the system as I assume it will keep building until a pipe pops off. thanks for reading and any help would be appreciated. andy -

If this was in my wall I’d never leave the house. Absolutely mesmerising. Even down to the circular constructions. -
