[JFAIR] Autogyro / Gyrocopter
Junpei replied to Seasider's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Wow, it's awesome so far! I love the joystick controls, and it's amazing that it's all built in LDD; in my opinion, something (especially Technic) built in LDD is a million times harder than in real life, and you accomplished it! TLH -
I saw the Anohana movie yesterday. I wasn't so hyped about it as the Madoka Magica movie; however, it was pretty good, despite quite a bit of reused footage from the anime. And I got a free poster TLH

Lego Technic Ultimate Wheel Hub
Junpei replied to nicjasno's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
But if that were true, wouldn't they not pop in as easily as you think? Remember, LEGO's main target audience is kids. TLH -
Lego Technic Ultimate Wheel Hub
Junpei replied to nicjasno's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thank you for designing this, nicjasno! Looks like a lot of work went into the design, and the use of the 8880 hubs is awesome. But I think you'll have a problem of the ball-joints popping out. TLH -
I just got my Getaway Glider. Now I'm done buying sets for this year... TLH

YES!!! Do it. TLH -
[HELP] 9398 Servo Issue
Junpei replied to obeykube's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Just contact LEGO Customer Service- unfortunately you got a faulty servo motor. It actually might not be a faulty servo motor- like JM1971 said, you should probably check the batteries, etc. first. TLH -
Zorex-220 Orange Motorized Excavator
Junpei replied to Jurgen Krooshoop's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I think it's great! No need to bump this topic though. TLH -
Nico71's Creations

Wow, Blakbird, your digital building skills are unrivaled! I can't possibly imagine how you have built even this much.. I wonder if it qualifies as a SHIP... -
Real Collective and Cyclic pitch Heli Rotor Swashplate Design
Junpei replied to mgamber's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Maybe a bit big, but it looks cool and it works well! But it uses custom parts... TLH -
Changing themes. Who has done it?
Junpei replied to Paul B Technic's topic in General LEGO Discussion
I'm planning on changing themes this year- when I get time to sort all my LEGO, I'm going to ditch TECHNIC too and go into Castle and Sci-Fi building. I don't think it's that weird, but I think you might want to continue with TECHNIC; your MOCs are getting better and better, and I wouldn't want that to go to waste. TLH -
Standard (not built, or custom) universal joints, ranking
Junpei replied to Tamas Juhasz's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I own one, but unfortunately it's cracked. It doesn't reduce clutch power or stop the joint from working, but I think it might affect the tests TLH -
[HELP] Drive Wheels on Extreme Offroader
Junpei replied to SNIPE's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Precisely. Personally, I would love to see 4 XL motors per wheel thingy- that's 16 XL motors! That would be an EXTREME off-roader. TLH -
Buying Parts from Lego
Junpei replied to Lakop's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
How do I order parts from CS? Do I have to call, or is it a certain section of the website? Just got a gift card for S@H TLH -
Your Best Technic Bargains
Junpei replied to Kumbbl's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
:cry_sad: And that's why everyone loves eBay. I hope you get a refund or something... TLH -
[HELP] Drive Wheels on Extreme Offroader
Junpei replied to SNIPE's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Unfortunately, however awesome that idea may be, I don't think it will work; you would need an electrical slip ring that doesn't exist yet in LEGO. TLH -
ASK HERE MOC-stuck? Ask for general building advice here!
Junpei replied to mrklaw's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Yeah, that always bugged me, too. I tried to build a TARDIS with a light brick in it once, and I had the exact same problem. Hope you find a solution, I will also try to figure something out with more common parts. TLH -
[HELP] Drive Wheels on Extreme Offroader
Junpei replied to SNIPE's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
How about just gears, like on a tandem axle? I think zblj used that on something of his. -
ASK HERE MOC-stuck? Ask for general building advice here!
Junpei replied to mrklaw's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Wow, awesome job adapting it to LDD! Sorry I didn't get better pictures. To answer your questions: -Yes, the 5M Lever is just a reinforcement. -The only inaccuracy (and I don't blame you for it) is the lime green 2M lever is supposed to be a 3M lever with the following pin/axle holes: + o + It should connect then. The blue axle should then go through the pin hole with a half bush behind it. -Precisely. -You are right- the 14 tooth gear is just a spacer. It is just under a 1/2 of a stud wide, and because of the angular displacement of the light green liftarm, I used that. Unfortunately it doesn't work with a normal half bush. -Again, sorry about the pictures, it's for reinforcement with some technic bricks- it's actually the 2M pin with stop bush. The 2L pin part is pushed through 2 bricks. -Yes, it's the same part. I really appreciate your hard work adapting it from my crappy pictures, and you did an awesome job managing to figure out how it works from just the pics. Thank you, and I hope for the best! TLH -
Standard (not built, or custom) universal joints, ranking
Junpei replied to Tamas Juhasz's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Yep, it's a little bit stronger. I think they can handle a little more torque than the 3L ones, and the advantage is that their ends have quite a bit of clutch power and they would have to take a lot of torque to snap (about 5 or 6 of my 3L ones are split at the ends and are unusable). I don't have any specific torque info though, maybe someone like Philo could help? TLH -

Junpei replied to mrklaw's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Have you tried the one I made? It's already reinforced, I've used it at least 20-30 times only held by one hand, and it still stays together. Good luck, TLH -
Future Castle sets - put your hopes and ideas here
Junpei replied to Alfadas's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
I would love to see the return of Vikings, those sets were great. One thing I would want even more would be the King's Castle- in yellow. Damn, that would be beautiful. With brick-built horses using the pony-ear technique..... TLH -
Upload to an image hosting site like Flickr or Brickshelf. You can read a tutorial on deeplinking pictures from Flickr or Brickshelf. How about you introduce yourself in the Hello, My Name is... Forum? Happy building, TLH

ASK HERE MOC-stuck? Ask for general building advice here!
Junpei replied to mrklaw's topic in General LEGO Discussion
I finished it! Here it is: View from the other side: Lit up: It fits in a relatively small space, and can be completely covered with plates on the bottom: All the parts used are relatively common except the 1x5 liftarm and 14 gear. And yes, it does return to center. Hope that helps! TLH -

Junpei replied to mrklaw's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Do the bricks have to be in that exact layout? I'm sure I could think of something. TLH
