[HELP] Pneumatic Walker
skppo replied to Zerobricks's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Maybe try to make the sequence be controlled by one mechanism for all legs and it needs to have more resistance than the moving cylinders combined. So the walker would have a "brain" that won't do the next movement before the last one is completed. -
[HELP] Keeping Axles Tight
skppo replied to Longhorn's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Well neither is gluing or screws :P -
[HELP] Keeping Axles Tight
skppo replied to Longhorn's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Can you use a 5.5 long axle with a stop? -
Panther
skppo replied to Zerobricks's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Are you powering one axle with one motor? If not I suggest you do as having the axles separate makes both motors use their max power and you could set up the drive shafts to go diffrent directions to help with body roll caused by them. -
Project Shipyard
skppo replied to Edwin Korstanje's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I like this more traditional style compared to your usual technic hull type. If I understood correctly this wont be the only model design? SCHOOL takes all my time and building one takes DAYS -
[MOC] Just another Tatra
skppo replied to Doc_Brown's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Whats up with the stacked gear racks in the steering mechanism? I like the blueness. -
Project Shipyard
skppo replied to Edwin Korstanje's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Has someone calculated what amount of bricks will collapse form their own mass? Insane. I like it. -
[MOC] 60's Crawler
skppo replied to astakos's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
This one looks good! Most crawlers are fugly and have simple bodywork. The proportions are pleasing too, I mean that the wheel size fits the lenght and width. Only bad thing for me is the multicolored chassis. -
Efferman's Custom Parts
skppo replied to efferman's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
These are some nice parts and it's cool to see you taking requests. -
Impossible LEGO
skppo replied to Boxerlego's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Put a small rod (minifig things, flex tubes, etc.) in the pin, bend slightly and pull it out. -
Free Wheel and Flex Coupler
skppo replied to DrJB's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Piterx uses centrifugal force to engage the wheel. The rubber is not connected on both sides. -
Finland is nice in the winter and summer but the in between is horrible. No snow nor sun just dark, chilly and wet.

Transferring Air/Electrical Power to a Rotating Platform
skppo replied to DrJB's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
You ask for proof but provide none yourself. Tried it, did not work. The hose has twists in it. Only way I can see this working is with a slip ring. This is topologically equivalent to a hose with no bend. It just has a bit more slack. If you think like this: mark a spot on the inner side of the hose on the rotating part. Then mark the same spot on the stationary part of the hose. As the hose goes around the spot will always point at the center. If the hose wouldn't twist the other spot should always face the spot on the rotating part it. It however does not, as it does not rotate with the rest. -
[WIP] Ford GTHO Phase 3
skppo replied to Doc_Brown's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Which wheels are you going to use? It looks good. Will the roof be orange too? -
[MOC] ZIS 5 Truck with AK31 Crane
skppo replied to Milan's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Nice job! I like that you went for the windows instead of the usual holes. It makes it look less legoy somehow. Super smooth looks and realism all around. First in his new room that is. -
[MOC] Slammborghini Gallardo
skppo replied to Lego Junkie's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
So beautiful but oh so horrible. -
[HELP] Compact Reverse Rotation
skppo posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi! I was wondering if anyone has a solution on how to reverse the rotation direction of an axle in a way that is compact and has the input and output in line. Simplest I can come up with is using sets of 2 and 3 gears, first to reverse and second to reset offset. That how ever is far from optimal. Even a mechanical principle will be appreciated even better if you can build it too Thanks. -
[HELP] Compact Reverse Rotation
skppo replied to skppo's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I feel a bit stupid... Too bad I don't have any of those bevel gear cases. I guess I wanted something more impressive (odd) looking -
What's so special about Tatra's Suspension?
skppo replied to Omikron's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
The suspension arm needs to be longer. This won't have very much travel. -
SuperCars Showdown - 8880 vs. 8448 vs. 8466 vs. 8070
skppo replied to DrJB's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I actually have my 8880 built into the b-model. It looks nice and has enough functions. I actually find the a-model really boring. It looks weird and the doors don't even open. I guess I just don't have the nostalgic feel to it as I only bought it a year ago or so. -
[MOC] Terex RH400 Mining Excavator (Obsolete)
skppo replied to sheo's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I like how with all that mechanical stuff going on you still managed to motorize the little side fans I really love it when people make these sort of renders where only gears and such are left. Also it seems to be adder-substractor driven? If so, cool as those have been kinda rare lately.. -
42029 - Pick up Truck Discussion Topic
skppo replied to AndroTech's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
There is an obvious space behind the seats for a battery box. The roof has som pins that aren't even connected properly. Sadly, it's most likely used to motorize the bed and not drive/steering. No new parts truly spotted yet in any of the new sets? -
42030 - Volvo L350F Wheel Loader
skppo replied to AndroTech's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Meh, not really interesting to me. Done before though not RC. Licencing adds nothing to this model other than price. It's not like Volvo loaders are something iconic, like say the unimog. Also the front is ugly. That rectangular frame and the gears stick out like a sore thumb. Yellow rims are cool. -
[MOC] Monster Truck 6x6
skppo replied to Madoca 1977's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
You always impress me by making your models look so good and still so functional. Well built and performs good too. A large scale trial truck next maybe? -
Lego Technic Ultimate Wheel Hub
skppo replied to nicjasno's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
4-way symmetry like the larger one or just single (vertical) axis? Do you have an idea how to do a MacPherson setup with these? Usually the problem is the lego springs though...
