    It will be hard for 3rd parties to develop adapters to connect PF stuff. The PU connectors are patented. If TLG refused to licence them, we getting the same scenario as with Apple and its depreciated MagSafe power plug.

    What puzzles me the most is this passage: Why would they sacrifice one of the Ten Commandments (literally spoken) that is THE main pillar of their success.

    I just found this (kudos to zusammengebaut.de for posting this). I thought those informations would be welcome here as well.

    42083 - Bugatti Chiron

    TinkerBrick replied to Jurss's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms & Model Team

    Hopefully. Usually, the price for B&P is somehow directly related to their weight. The Claas tires cost 5.12€. The Tumbler tires were about 7,50€. A small Mini Sai piece is 0.12€. Maybe the driving ring extension is made out of some kind of unobtainum. ;-)

    I just spoke to the TLG customer service regarding a parts order. The new driving ring extensions (yellow, 6211768) cost a stunning 5.20€ per piece. The gear shifter (orange, 6227330) clocks in with 2.58€.

    Your Best Technic Bargains

    TinkerBrick replied to Kumbbl's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms & Model Team

    I found a 8420 street motor cycle for 32€ including shipping. No box, no instructions but in good condition. I couldn‘t resist. The wheels/tires alone are more expensive than the set. Not to mention the spring/shock absorber. Now I can build Nico71‘s Morgan threewheeler.

    I really like the trailer. What are your plans regarding a tractor/truck? Looking forward to see all the parts coming together.

    Your Best Technic Bargains

    TinkerBrick replied to Kumbbl's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms & Model Team

    I just a complete Spick3r Robot (one of the Mindstorms EV3 Models) for 82,50€. The lot included the intelligent bricks, 2 large motors, 1 medium motor, IR sensor and the remote. Everything appears to be working properly.

    [MOC] Iveco Daily

    TinkerBrick replied to mpj's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms & Model Team

    I love it. A very, very original MOC. We see those vans/small lorries every day. Looks great and is instantly recognisable. As for the idea of a fake engine proposed earlier - maybe the a 4 cylinder engine based on the Mack Anthem engine could fit under the hood.

    Good evening! Based on efferman's RC trailer i tried to extend the length to fit a 40' trailer: Well, it didn't work out well. The weight of the trailer causes several issues: 1. the crane arms tend to bend towards the container. 2. The geometry of the cranes and the LAs ist not sufficient for the extra weight. When fully extended (or retracted) the LAs can barely move the weight and the safety clutches kick in. 3. The bevel gears driving the LAs tend to slip a lot. Issues 2&3 lead toward an unsynchronous movement of the cranes. Thus the container is unbalanced, one side lower than the other.

    I second Doug72. Very unsual vehicle what makes it very interesting. Clever mechanisms and great presentation.
