Some parts are rather rare in Technic sets, but come in large quantities under other themes. What else can you think of, besides the few below? 1. Witch Doctor (Hero Factory) -- 2. Corroder (Hero Factory) -- 3. Skopio (Bionicle) ...
-
Did the old Technic teach me something that didn't matter? Have the Lego designers just gone lazy? Isn't the bushing asymmetric for a reason?
I never thought of friction as being the driving factor. One reson the bushing has 4 teeth was so that you can attach it to a technic plate (e.g. 2x4). Though one might argue why not put 4 teeth on both sides ...

The part list will be very helpful for those who want to build the super car and monster truck. It saves a lot of time because madoca didn't make the part list for those 2 cars. I personally like the monster truck so much.
Yes, I am talking about the wheels on the mini car. those tire and wheels are pretty hard to find

I can only see them in10220 and 8071.
Per bricklink, those were released in 12 sets ... 7 gray + 5 white, and they cost as low as 15 cents a piece.

Keep your eye on this topic. You may be finding more available soon!
Thanks for the headsup :)
-
Oh Yea, they are from the VW camper and 8071.
Thanks Technyk32231
In fact there are 2 versions for such wheels (axle hole geometry is a bit different). They're in several Technic sets, 8258/8264/8063/8421/ ....
Please ignore ... Apparently the discussion was about a DIFFERENT set of tires

Great car indeed. I tried to do this in LDD but, got to Step 10 and can't continue ... for I can't find both the servo motor and new hubs (42000) in LDD.
Any hints?
-
Fair enough and agree wholeheartedly. I somehow 'thought' it was available. Suffice it to say I'm new here and may not be asking always the right questions. Lastly, such a privilege to be in the company of such great minds/designers. Cheers!

Thank You. I have that file already from mahjqa's website. Maybe I can explain a bit better what I'm looking for: Blakbird made a POV of the Stilzkin and it is on his brickshelf (http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=5036266). That POV is done from either an LDD or an LDR file. I'm asking for the LDD/LDR that Blakbird used to generate his POV ... Seems like he did the model himself. Anyone knows his handle/userid on here?
-
Given that the 'Built by Me' program is discontinued ... is it reasonable to expect that Lego will continue developing LDD ???
-
How obvious .... I thought mahjqa did the LXF file (only chassis), then Blakbird did the full model as he's the one who made the POV renders. Thus, I 'assumed' Blakbird would have a more complete model than Mahjqa, even though the latter is the man behind the machine ... so to speak.
-
Why don't you ask him?
New here, what's his handle (UserID) ?
-
IMHO, one of the best sets (number/variety of parts, value) is 8258. You don't get the tracks that many GBCs use for lift mechanisms, but the assortment of liftarms and gears is real good. ALso check philo's homepage. He's got LXF/LDD files for some interesting contraptions. Needless to say Akiyuki's designs are phenomenal and some people have made LXF/LDD files to help as well.

77 views and not a single answer !!! ... humm ...

This may be old news but, would very much like to build such MOC (the kids loved the youtube movie). I've seen digital renditions (Blakbird) but no full model (LXF/LDR) out there. Is such model readily available? for a fee? ... Thanks.

2/20000
even though they're special numbers, just as much chance of getting them as any otherNot quite, we're dealing here with conditional probabilities, as the two events need to occur concurrently.
The chance of getting 00001 and 20000 is (1/20000)*(1/19999) ... a rather small number.
In fact that chance is the same if you were to pick any given two numbers, not just 1 and 20000.
Madoca's middle scale AWD SUV.....it's perfect!

Just built it, gorgeous car. My main observation about this model and many other recent marvels (i.e., Mahjqa's tumbler, tachikoma, and grudge) is that they are very solidly built, compact, and packed with functions/features. Again, a fantastic MOC!
