DC adapter for LEGO motor. Does it Exist?
Soluzar replied to dvsntt's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
That won't get you the full 9 volts though, the best that pack can do is 7.4 volts. Also I wonder what that would do to the battery pack, long term. It's not a cheap part. -
DC adapter for LEGO motor. Does it Exist?
Soluzar replied to dvsntt's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Even if it doesn't exist yet, I can't see it being too difficult to bodge one together. I haven't seen one on the LEGO website though. I can't say it definitely doesn't exist, but I think maybe it is something you'd have to make yourself. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=80194entry1534094 This post seems relevant. -
Introduction and question about studless building
Soluzar replied to Studless's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
If you want to revive your old sets, there's always the possibility to find replacement parts on Bricklink, so don't write them off just yet. Studless building is great, but so is studded. It's all good. :) -
Best and cheapest place to buy lego wheels
Soluzar replied to Someonenamedjon's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
More expensive than the rest of the UK? If so, I had no idea. -
The 42000 B Model Race Truck instructions are up at Lego's Website
Soluzar replied to Meatman's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
This is common for online copies of instruction for A models. The B model instructions have to be better, because that is the only form in which they exist, but for the A model, the paper copy is considered the original. I remember a couple of times I found it impossible to count studs/holes and as such found it hard to complete the model using online copies of the instructions. All that off my chest, my interest in this set went up a lot! This B model is nicer than the A model, IMO. -
8070 supercar
Soluzar replied to Reqlex's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Well, the only PF part I don't have any of yet is lights, so that sounds like potentially fun build for me. I wouldn't mind getting some lights if they are needed. -
8070 supercar
Soluzar replied to Reqlex's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Interesting model. It isn't on Rebrickable, but I assume that the majority of required parts are just... the 8070. I might have a go at that. -
The Enforcer Recharged: CUUSOO Project
Soluzar replied to crazy_1993's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Obviously it looks impressive, and I'm sure that any technical issues can be resolved. I'm just wondering whether the TLC would be interested in doing yet another 4x4 RC off-road vehicle so soon after the original 4x4 Crawler and with the "Boss Crawler" already in the pipeline. Don't get me wrong though, I'd love to see this released. I think the "Boss Crawler" is a nice, stylish new body design for 9398 but this is every bit as stylish and with a different chassis design to boot.- 69 replies

Finding Parts for Technic MOCs
Soluzar replied to Blakbird's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I'm finding this a challenge too, partly because of those rear wheels. I'm willing to break up my sets to make this model, though - that eases the burden a bit. I don't have the display space to keep models assembled forever. The sets I own give me about 85% of these parts just as my starting point. It will still be difficult to get together the remaining 15% including all the PF parts I don't have yet. -
Lego Technic 42009 Mobil Crane MK2 Replica by dokludi (unfinished)
Soluzar replied to dokludi's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Any idea how tall that model is? It looks amazing! If I can get more information about it, including video of the model doing whatever it does... that would be nice. :) NB: I can't build like that, I'm just interested in gawking at the wonderful work. -

Soluzar replied to dokludi's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I agree - it's amazing that you can take a look at the pictures we've seen and then replicate the model like that. I assume you look to past sets like 8421 for some aspects, since they are very similar sets, but this one will be so much bigger so there is still a lot for you to work out. Well done, and thanks for sharing. It never fails to impress me how skilled the Technic fans on this forum are. -
What if you had a machine that could make any LEGO piece, set, or mini
Soluzar replied to ToastyLlama's topic in Community
I would want to make some sets from the early years of Technic, for personal gratification. They are quite rare now, and there's no way to be sure that moving parts like motors and pneumatic cylinders will still work perfectly. I'd also want to spread the joy around, by making a vast number of those rare and valuable Technic elements to sell at discount prices. I wouldn't want to make money from it, you understand... I'd just be selling them via Bricklink so that the world could get access to them. -
[REVIEW] 8450 The Mission
Soluzar replied to Lost_In_Noise's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Looks like this came from a somewhat transitional era in Technic history, perhaps? The combination of studded Technic bricks with studless beams is something I wasn't expecting to see. I skipped over that part of Technic's history, asssuming it existed much beyond this set. When I stopped buying technic sets, studded construction was the only game in town. By the time I returned to it, studless construction had taken over to the point where I'm actually suprised (and a little nostalgic) if I find a studded Technic Brick in a set I'm building. Personally I'd like to see the two styles combined more, but as long as good sets are coming out, who am I to complain?- 41 replies

What tires to use on dragster 42010 and 42011
Soluzar replied to WR3KL3SS's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
You've turned a frankly mediocre model into something much better, in my opinion. I wasn't at all enamoured of the dragster combo model at first, but now... it's a completely respectable and nice looking model which I really like. -

Soluzar replied to WR3KL3SS's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Nice work! It looks a lot more like a stereotypical dragster now. if you don't mind me saying, I do feel that the while the longer 'nose' section is entirely appropriate, it looks a bit 'bare'. While further back on the car there's a second beam coming down at an angle, it might look just that little bit more authentic if that beam was longer and thus reached further down the 'nose'. You've already made great improvements to the appearance and colour scheme of this model though, so it's already a success.
