That purple one is like... Amazing. [Edit] In regard to spraying pieces.... It would take quite some time to get the finish right, and you will probably only get a handful of placements before it would chip, so it would be a single time build, with little or no mistakes. I have spray paint, so I might try it out when the weather gets better (so probably next week)

Bricks cracking... just from being connected to one another?
Vr5fx replied to Endgame's topic in General LEGO Discussion
I've recently got back into Lego and have had 3 grey 1/2 bush pieces crack while under no stress (other than being on an axle) These were brand new pieces. Other than these I've not had a problem. Yay for spares. -
Photos of your Technic collection
Vr5fx replied to Paul B Technic's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Not much of a collection, but here is mine. :) Just waiting for 2 L-motors from Bricklink, then the 42006 will be fully RC. -Vr -

Hiya, 9398/mods
Vr5fx replied to Vr5fx's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Is that possible? I haven't even made a simple gear box, as I wouldn't know where to start, but making one that would shift for more torque when needed? I don't think there would be enough room in the chassis for it... It would have to be a new build from scratch, right? -

Vr5fx replied to Vr5fx's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Honestly, the differentials kinda make it slightly more challenging. I have been thinking about changing them, though I wasn't sure what with. I will try it out and see how it goes when the new parts arrive. :) -

I have had a look through those threads, I was going to buy a set of new tyres, but they are far more pricey over here in the UK. I had a good glance through the 9398 thread, however I could do with a refresher, thanks. :) Thanks for that, I have a video uploading to YouTube at the moment. My internet connection is hideous, so it will be a long wait, but that will be put on here shortly, with my attempt at the XL motors. -Steve [EDIT] Closer look at my XL MOD, though this will be changed shortly as the suspension isn't very well connected. http://youtu.be/OzZefYcfWTk Tyre slip http://youtu.be/ZM2KSHd9goU Hopefully these videos work :) -

Thanks for that Blakbird, good to know. The new motors arrived for the 4x4, though currently struggling for pieces for the adjustment :(. will see how I get on lol. -

Thanks for that reply. I don't have a 'local' hobby store, but there is always Ebay. I have 'air-fix' glue (plastic) if that would do the same job? Onto the ratio then... using 8/24 with XL motors would make it hideously slow.... Would stock be better or even 16/16? I've seen video's but not many using XL motors, they all seem quite sketchy about applying them to the model. I may have to experiement once I have the parts. This seems like a reasonable option to try before glue, as I'd rather not risk damaging or even heavily marking the plastics. 50p is nothing compaired to what I have spent on Technic in the last week. :) -
Hey guys, newbie here! As per my introduction, I've come back to Lego after at least 10 years. I picked up the 9398 as a spontaneous purchase for my greedy self the other day *yay* It was a very fun build, took just over a day, as I work and stuff. So far I have played with a few gear ratios and have settled with the drive ratio of 8/24, for torque. However I'm currently having trouble with the rims slipping on the tyres when put under force, like a step or a large incline. Does anyone have a fix for this? On a side note, how do the XL motors work on the 9398, with the ratio 8/24? I purchased loads of motors for the 42006, and will have some spare, as I over-ordered. :) I'm looking at a few other mods for the 9398, but I will be doing one at a time. -Steve

No other interests at the moment. Considering I didn't even think about Lego before Sunday. I just purchased the 42006 as well as £100 worth of motors, ect. This alone is a slippery slope. Batteries are going to be a fortune! The Lego Systems 'box' used to be a wide range of models, but I think over time parts have gone missing so there wont be a single model worth trying to rebuild. I'd just crush it with the 4x4 anyway. :) -Steve
