An update to the topic: A video was uploaded to YouTube to demonstrate the capabilities of 8448 remote: Kamil

Hello again, This is the video presentation of my mini Lego exhibition in Rahmi Koc Industrial Museum in Ankara last year. Some complete sets, moc's and replicas covering the period of 1969 to today. Kamil

Very Nice ! When I see "Emo Girl" I remember Eurovision song contest winner Lena Meyer-Landrut: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/df/Lena_Meyer_Landrut_2010.jpg Both are so beautiful ! Kamil

Thank you. The solution in your message looks mechanically perfect, I will try that. By the way, I found an alternative solution, maybe not as perfect as the one above, but it works. Thanks for the Lego crankshaft part, it fits into the gap and no play exists: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/technickamil/SSS/srcb1.jpg On the other hand, as the crank axle fits loosely into the remote control arm, it comes up after using a short period. This problem should be fixed, maybe by an additional upper lock: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/technickamil/SSS/srcb2.jpg Kamil

An extended remote controller was designed to overcome the shorcomings of the 8879 speed remote: Additional pics: 1 http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/technickamil/SSS/src3.jpg 2 http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/technickamil/SSS/src4.jpg 3 Simple steering link: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/technickamil/SSS/src4b.jpg 4 http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/technickamil/SSS/src5.jpg 5 http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/technickamil/SSS/src6.jpg 6 Slight modifications was made on the car. The gear ratio of the steering is adjusted for the new controller. The electric circuit is modified (front IR-receiver controls the steering and front lights and the rear IR-receiver controls the rear wheels and rear lights) http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/technickamil/SSS/src7.jpg 7 http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/technickamil/SSS/src8.jpg Kamil

Thank you, Of course each reader may interpret my intro story from the perspective of their own. My actual story goes within Star Wars so here George is George Lucas. After watching the seventh movie, the “Clone Wars”, I’m trying to get used to be familiar with computer graphics instead of live actors. Then I connected the story with my own life because I always try to fix broken things in the real life, especially the things broken in my childhood. Maybe a deeper issue :) Kamil

I havent seen "Bender's Big score" movie but I found a picture of "chuannaka zombie's tie fighter" via internet. It would be funny to see it in Lego so I tried one: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/technick.../zombietie2.jpg Kamil

Then, everyone in the garage was relieved after the start of repair: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/technick.../SW/dwswad2.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/technick.../SW/dwswad3.jpg

1. My answer to your first question is yes. Everything can again be compacted to fit the same compartment in a different combination: 2. My answer to your second question is no. With the 8287 motor, the car can not start moving even on a flat surface. In my opinion, this motor is faster than XL but has less torque. So my former gear ratio is not suitable for the 8287 motor. The gear ratio must be designed again to fit this motors specifications. The motor works only when the car is raised above the ground: http://s282.photobucket.com/albums/kk255/k...rrent=8448q.flv Kamil

OK, luckily I have an 8287 motor and technic-PF adapter cable: My first opinion (as you already mentioned) is 8287 motor turns faster than the XL motor. I will try to replace XL motor with 8287 for you but this may take few days because of time shortage. I'll try to finish the test as soon as possible. Kamil

Nice idea; Let me confess that I did not tell you everything. The scene you have seen above is taken after the storm. If we do a flashback, you can see how Darth Vader convinced me to repair the Tie. So my choice was to repair it: I'm happy to hear all this, thank you. Kamil

Nice to see him outdoors, in the place where Turkish version of Star Wars was filmed (The man who saved the world - Cuneyt Arkin). Cheers, Kamil

Darth Vader never used to carry cash so squidman (Pizza cash men) will pay me

A long time ago in a galaxy actually closer than we imagine…. STAR WARS Episode IX Car Repair Shop Things were not going well in the dark side because republicans won every battle. So George stopped paying money to commander Darth Vader, he preferred to pay animators instead. As Darth Vader remained jobless, he restored his good old Tie-Fighter and became a galactic pizza distributor. One day on the work, Darth Vader heard a strange noise coming from left solar panel so he brought his starship to Kamil’s cheap car repair shop on earth. Under the threat of his sword and impatience, Kamil investigated the malfunctioning part.
