[HELP] Cleaning Completed Models with PF
Corvette3 posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
So my 42030 just took a nasty fall down some stairs into a pile of dirt, as far as i can tell nothing is broken just a few connections gave way and it still drives, but it is very dirty now, anyone got tips for cleaning it? preferably without dismantling it too much as it took me 14 hours to build and i don't have a lot of time to get it looking nice again. Here is some post carnage if anyone is curious(lo-res though) -
Hi, I was looking for technic set with starter pneumatic parts, what could you recommend for me? I kinda like that 9641 pneumatics add-on set

[HELP] Amusement Ride
rollermonkey posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I am stuck. I'm trying to make an amusement park ride, but I can't figure out how to do something... A horizontal turntable to rotate the whole ride above the platform, driven by an M-motor to a worm screw/gear combo forms the base of the ride. A shaft through the center of the turntable drives a sliding worm gear that climbs a rack gear affixed to the inside of the rotating structure. That all works fine. How can I get power/rotation from that rotating center shaft out to the rising platform? I had originally considered the red 8T gear to slide freely up the shaft to drive a chain out from the center, but the LEGO chains don't/can't engage 8T gears, so that's out. (and a waste of 200 links bought on BL) My next idea was to use that central worm gear to drive a gear on a horizontally mounted axle, but I'm 99% certain that I won't be able to get enough torque and speed to drive 4 rotating elements at a realistic speed while the worm climbs at a realistic rate. That's why I want to use that rotating axle the 'normal' way... But I just can't seem to figure out how to do it. Once I can get torque out of the central shaft, I can transfer it to the ends of the arms, no problem... -
MODEL TEAM CONTEST - RESULTS Although there weren't that many contestants, the Model Team contest still was a great success. It was nice to see that each entry was outstanding, and again, voting proved to be very hard. The outcome was very close. It has been a neck and neck race for 1st and 2nd place. Here we go.... 1st James Bond Lotus Esprit by Jeroen Ottens Entry Topic - Discussion Topic After his 3rd prize winning Grand Prix Racer in the Mini Build Contest, Jeroen has proven that he masters multiple building styles. His James Bond version of the Lotus Esprit is nothing short of spectacular! Congratulations! 2nd Camper Tricycle by Milan Entry Topic - Discussion Topic Words cannot describe how well this MOC is executed. Not to mention the originality. How do you come up with stuff like this. Good enough for 1st place, but 2nd is a great score nonetheless. 3rd Three-axle Compact Crane by Erik Leppen Entry Topic - Discussion Topic The color scheme, design and functionality combine three elements into a well executed MOC. This second Dutchie completes the Top 3 with a Bronze medal. Looking at the results it seems that the Dutch are good at Model Team building I will contact the winners via PM to handle their prizes.

Hi guys, I want to have a tachometer to test my MOCs RPM and I am considering four options: Building it with LEGO (I have seen videos of LEGO tachometers (Nico71 is a great example) and they worked quite well but centrifugal tachometers are big and not really accurate, because you have to calibrate it yourself). Buying some sort of RC tachometer (I can't find any at a good price that could be attached to my MOCs. Buying the LEGO speed computer. Use gear ratio calculators and not buy or build anything (I will need to switch on the computer each time I want to know something, because I don't think there is any mobile app for Android to calculate LEGO gear ratios or at least I couldn't find it). What should I do? Any advice of which one to buy if you choose second option? Thank you in advance and sorry for my poor English, I hope you can understand it. EDIT: 5th option: Making it using Arduino but I think it's quite difficult/expensive to make it work as accurate as a "real" tachometer.

MODEL TEAM VEHICLE Entering the last contest (Mini Build) with a Model Team creation wasn't allowed. To compensate we are now looking for Model Team creations...and Model Team only! We know there's a thin line between Model Team and Creator Series, so we won't be overly critical about the entries. If you want to know more about what is considered Model Team, here's an elaborate topic about it. DESCRIPTION Build a LEGO Model Team vehicle with a maximum size of 46 x 16 STUDS. For example: Truck Jeep Formula One Car Boat Helicopter ... In my opinion Model Team is a model with a Technic chassis, a brick built bodywork and a couple of functions/features. DEADLINE Deadline date is October 3rd, 2014. Contest will be closed on Saturday the 4th, so you will have the entire Friday to build. Closing time on Saturday is whenever I feel like it (most likely after breakfast), so consider Friday to be the deadline. CONTEST SPECIFIC RULES AND REGULATIONS Maximum size is 46 x 16 STUDS (rear view mirrors and comparable parts sticking out don't count towards the width of the vehicle). NO Electronics (PF, Mindstorms, etc) are allowed. Only OFFICIAL LEGO parts. No chrome unless it's official LEGO (see previous rule) Ropes/Strings, rubber bands and pneumatic tubing need to be official LEGO parts. Set must have at least one, preferably more, functions. Aesthetics do count. ONLY Model Team. GENERAL RULES AND RESTRICTIONS The contest is open to all EB members (also new members). Members who joined EB after the start of the contest can be banned from voting (when vote rigging is suspected). Voting rules will be explained later in the voting topic. One entry per member. Entries need to be new (never posted anywhere previously). Only physical builds, so no LDD or other virtual entry. If you have any doubts about the suitability of your entry contact me. All entries are to include only real LEGO. No clone brands, 3rd party parts, or digital entries allowed. Decals (stickers) will be allowed if you've made them yourself, but no cutting, sculpting or modifying parts. Entries are to be placed in the (soon to be created) entry topic in this forum. Entries not in the (soon to be created) entry topic are not eligible for voting. The entry post may be edited at any time up to the end of the contest, so feel free to make improvements if you wish. We reserve the right to disqualify any entry that does not follow these rules. These rules can be changed whenever we see fit to ensure that people follow the intent of the contest. Staff members are not eligible for winning prizes. WHAT DO I NEED TO ENTER? All participant need to create a discussion topic and create a post in the entry topic. DISCUSSION TOPIC A discussion topic starting with [MT]. ENTRY POST The entry post (in the soon to be created entry topic) should contain: Entry name Short summary of the functions. Promotional image (this one should kick megablocks!) The promotional image needs to be clear and crisp image, which really shows the model in it's best way. Think of it as the image on the box. Building a great MOC is one thing, but a decent presentation really helps you to get more votes. Like the Mini Build contest a composite image is allowed. PRIZES For this contest the prizes aren't sponsored by TLG, so they are a bit different than you are used to. I have come across two Model Team sets, which I will donate to the 1st and 2nd place winners. Both sets are in okay condition, although they haven't fully stood the test of time. Some of the white parts have turned a bit yellowish, but I still think both sets are well worth having in your collection. The 3rd prize winner will receive a Creator set, which I more or less consider a Mini Model Team set. I will probably unpack the set and flatten the box, so I can send it using an envelop. Disclaimer: I will send these sets out myself. When something goes wrong and the set is missing in action, I won't be able to replace it. 1st PRIZE 5580 - Highway Rig 2nd PRIZE 5510 - Off-Road 4x4 3rd PRIZE 31018 - Highway Cruiser

MODEL TEAM VOTING TOPIC This topic will be used as a voting topic for the Model Team contest. VOTING RULES AND REGULATIONS Voting scheme uses the old Formula One style point distribution (10, 6, 4, 3, 2 and 1 POINT) You need to assign 10 points to the 1st place, 6 points to the second and so one. You need to vote for 6 ENTRIES (no more, no less) Clearly mention the ENTRY NUMBER and the NUMBER OF POINTS per entry that you vote on. If you joined Eurobricks after the start of the contest, you can be banned from voting (when vote rigging is suspected) You may NOT vote for your own entry. In the event of a tie for any place the Technic Staff will decide which entry wins. Our decision is final. Questions about voting can be asked in the Model Team Contest Information. For example (entries randomly chosen for example): --- comments can be placed above the votes 5: 10 (no comments here please) 6: 6 1: 4 9: 3 7: 2 3: 1 Or comments can be placed below the votes ---- NOTES Please use this exact notation NUMBER: VOTES (with a colon). Please use this thread only for voting. You may explain why you made your choice, but any general discussion should take place in the Model Team Contest Information Topic. Comments should be placed ABOVE or BELOW the votes. Please don't comment on the same line as the votes. VOTING CRITERIA The idea about this contest is to create a Model Team model which reflects the old school Model Team style using a modern approach.

LEGO Technic Robot Battle
Rayjunx posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi! Together with friends we started a robot battle contest in which we use tuned LEGO technic robots to battle inside a destructible city ;) We want to make a big show out of it and record it as video ^^ The robots have tuned motors and we control them with 2.4ghz system. So we can use more tanks and robots the same time in missions and races etc. And everything already work. Now we try to find new friends specialy for building the city and robots together, or helping record the video and driving the vehicles. But anyway we are happy about every feedback, about your ideas for this contest. We already have a prototype running which we show in this video: And we give away flyers and poster for free as long as we still have some ;-) Hope to get your feedback, Ray and the roboter nerd team ^^ PS: You can reply here, send message or mail to markus@freakwave.de , whatever you like. -

Lego Technic Race Truck
Lucio Switch posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi to everyone!! This is my Lego Technic Race Truck. I upload pictures an video about one month ago, but at that moment I wasn't subscribed to this forum. I know that bmollema had done one copy of it in Red and Black (but with some improvement and a differnt drivetrain, XL motors in place of the RC Buggy Motors) and he had done a topic with his version, but i will be glad to know what you think about it. For more detail take a look at: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/394095 For Hi-Quality pics at: https://www.flickr.c...57647108848760/ or you can see a video of it at: Thanks!! -

Thinking about selling my whole technic collection :(
Omikron posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello everyone, this is not (yet) a selling topic, that's why it is posted here and not in the specific hub. Currently I'm tearing between... aww duck it. It's complicated. I need your advice fellow lego builders. I have somewhat like a technic collection but I don't know how to set a price for it since it has some used parts, some applied stickers, some new untouched stickers, instructions, all boxed (mostly in acceptable condition) and lots of new parts that I ordered from the bricklink but never used. The core of this set is 8436, 8258 (stickers applied), 8043, 8070, 8110(stickers applied), 9398. All this sets are complete with all extra parts. And a ton of bricklink parts (motors, pneumatics, power functions, lights, panels, wheels, liftarms, pins,etc) I'm trying to compile bricklink stuff since it purged most of the orders. How much could all this stuff worth if I sell it as one lot? -
Hey Everyone, Before I begin, I just want to let you guys know that the chassis is someone else's, but I did make it my own and added in improvements and such. This is where I found it and credit goes to WOUTER31.So, now that's out of the way, let talk about the truck. This is my first 8x8 truck and have built a 4x4 rock crawler which I am making a Jeep body for it right now. The one thing I don't like about this 8x8 that it doesn't have a 2 speed gearbox. I want to make one, but don't know where to start and where I would install it for this chassis. If you guys have any tips, pros or cons on the truck let me know. I know it isn't perfect being that I haven't built in at least 4 years so I am a little rusty. 8x8 Specs: 2 XL motors drive 1 M motor steering 4WS 1 AA battery box 1 IR Receiver LED lights Independent suspension 1:3 gear ratio Length: 76 studs Width: 9 studs(not including suspension) Height: 21 studs I am probably 95% done with this and wanted to see what you guys thought of it. Hope you guys enjoy it!

[MOC] Front Loader Compactor Truck
MrTekneex posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello eurobrickers! I am glad to present to you my latest model. It is a front loader compactor truck. The model is composed of approximately 3,000 pieces, with motorized functions and pneumatic system. The 6 motors (2XL and 4M ) control the following functions: - drive (actual speed ratio 1:9, slow to drive cause i wanted more precision for catching of the box) - steering - pump compressors - packer panel / ejector panel - tilting cab - loader arm - hopper opening All functions are RC, excluding the air valve levers that control: - pneumatic forks - tailgate Other functions: - Fake V8 engine - Openable doors - 2 differential - Second axle with 4 wheels Probably in the future I will create building instructions. Here is the video. Some pics Loader arm Full open -
Raspberry Pi/Technic Project help

Hi All I've been working on an rc van using a Raspberry Pi as the control and have decided to incorporate a technic motor for drive and would like to ask for some help and advice. I want to build a simple gearbox/drive in a compact design, but wasn't sure what gearing/design to use? I have forward and reverse control through the Pi/Scratch and it maybe easier to keep it as simple and reliable as pissible, any help/advice appreciated.

[MOC REVIEW] Phantasm Twin Turbo
Osuharding1 posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello everyone - I'm starting this topic to write a brief review of the new Crowkillers Lego Technic Supercar - Phantasm Twin Turbo - Ghost Edition. Paul recently completed this design in summer 2014 and has made instructions available on his website (www.crowkillers.com) for $12. When you purchase the instructions you get high quality renditions for both a red and white version. I built the white version. The instructions and parts list are flawless and very easy to follow for an experienced Technic builder. The white model has a few parts that are a bit difficult to find at a reasonable price (i.e. white 19L flex axles) but generally he made a great effort to use a lot of 2014 parts and older parts that are readily available. The model has all of the features that you would expect on a super car of this scale (opening doors, transmission, suspension, etc.). However, in my opinion, this model has two features that are unique and different from anything that he has done before. First would be steering. This model has HOG steering near the rear of the model and a functional steering wheel. The aspect that makes it unique is that the steering axle passes directly through the 5-speed transmission. The solutions he came up with to achieve this were rather clever. The second marque feature of this model is the mechanism that opens the scissor doors. The mechanism lifts the doors up and moves them out simultaneously. Even though I have built it and studied it closely I am still not sure exactly how it works... but it works flawlessly every time! The last note about this model is simply the body shape and the great way he has used panels to achieve a very sleek look. Probably the most notable feature is the headlamps and the way the two panels form a perfect casing that wraps around them. I'm not a man of many words so I've produced a high quality video to showcase all the relevant features of this fantastic super car. -

I have not found this model in reality, so I built it. The complete review is on http://mocpages.com/moc.php/396635 and the video is below. Another creation is The Easiest Parking Car In The World: this is my own genuine idea, maybe some others have had the same idea right now... The review can be found on the given Mocpages address. You may always reply if you don't like it, my MOCs will probably get better of it. -
Hello all from Greece, After quite a while, reading in this forum (Technic mostly), I decided to write a few words about me, as a new member should do. I was in love with Lego in my early years but I haven’t touched them in 20 years, since I was 17. My last big Technic sets were the 8868 and 8880. You could say that I knew only studded technic bricks at the time! Six months ago I visited my parents’ house at my hometown with my two kids (7 & 5 years old). So I decided that it was time to introduce them to the world of Lego. So I took the entire collection home and both me and the kids loved it. Since then, the Lego fire was reignited inside me. I rebuilt my old flagships and after that, I acquired a few modern Technic sets, several small and a few flagships 8110, 9398 and 42009. It really takes some time to adjust to studless building style (maybe I am really rusty). In this forum I realized that there are numerous talented builders around and a lot more that really enjoy Lego. It is nice to have met your company and I hope in the little free time available to be able to contribute as well. Kind Regards, Thanos - Greece

[MOC] American 4-axle Dump Truck
Waler posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi Folks It’s been a long time since I presented my last creation so it’s good time to show something new. Maybe this MOC it is not so fresh (I built it almost 2 months ago) but I think worth to present. The truck was built to my local Lug (LugPol) competition and the goal was that the wining truck will be an accompany to the 42030 Volvo L350F on our Lug exhibition. There was three other trucks built to this contest. But mine got most votes The prize of the contest was outstanding – beside that I received the set for the review, finally I got whole new 42030 for my own! And this is the truck which “made it”: American 4-axle Dump Truck. The truck is fully motorized, it has 2XLs for propulsion, 1 Servo Motor for steering, 2 Medium motors for rising the tipper and hazard lights on top of the roof. The truck weights 2750g, dimensions are: 51,2 x 16,8 x 19,6 cm. It is Powered by two Battery Boxes placed on both sides of the truck. The access is very easy so you can change batteries quickly. In the front there is one pair of PF LEDs and second one is mounted in the rear of the truck. As I mentioned on the roof there are hazard lights. The blinking lights are made from 1x4 Light Brick connected to PF switch which is turned on and off by micromotor. (PF LEDs are connected to the same switch) Rising tipper is operated by two large linear actuators and truck can dump up to 2kg. Drivetrain – only two rear axles are driven – total gear reduction is 1 : 4.2. Enough power to carry and ride with even 7kg of load. Overall appearance you have to judge yourself. I was trying to do my best in two weeks but I think that it’s not bad at all Under the hood you can find V8 engine. And at the end - video. -
[REVIEW] 7471 - Mars Exploration Rover
randomwalk posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
(Since this is my first review on this site, please excuse any shortcomings, omission of valuable information and inclusion of superfluous information - comments and feedback are welcome). 7471 Mars Exploration Rover Review - Technic in all but its name Model Number: 7471 Name: Mars Exploration Rover Theme: Discovery Year: 2003 Number of pieces: 870 Full sized photos available at https://www.flickr.c...57645937216192/ There didn't seem to be any review of this set on this site, so I decided to add my own. Overall, this was an enjoyable build and I would recommend it highly to any Technic collector who is looking for something beyond the usual. It is important to note that this set is not a Technic set, but was part of the "Discovery" theme in 2003. This theme was quite short lived and featured 6 sets of varying sizes and complexity. The mars rover is the only one in the series that is a Technic style build. In fact, this is the most "Technicy" non-Technic set I have yet encountered. Among the Discovery theme, this set is also has the highest parts count (870). Since the set is quite old, it may be difficult to obtain or may command a high price depending on where you live. However, it seems to be the least rare one out of the Discovery series. Functions: There are two knobs on the top of the set - one for rotating the antenna, and another for steering. The steering mechanism is quite interesting in that the outer four wheels are steered using a combination of push-rods and the "flex" system. The design of the steering system is quite impressive. On the back, there are two knobs - one for rotating the camera, and one for extending the robotic arm. Additionally, the camera can be extended and retracted using a dampened spring (the same ones used for the doors on the 8448 super car). The solar panels can be folded up and released with another dampened spring (see pictures). For some reason, the folded up configuration didn't seem to be very stable (any minor perturbation caused them to extend), however, that could be due to the way I built it. Pictures: Instruction booklet: In addition to the instructions, there is also an informational booklet with various facts about the real rover: Various parts: Partial progress: About half-way: Fully constructed, but before solar panels: With solar panels: Panels folded up: Things I liked: Novelty: It was very refreshing to build a Technic set that does not fall into a typical category (car, truck, construction vehicle, plane/helicopter). It would be great if Lego would produce more sets like this, rather than producing n-th iterations of the usual vehicles. I suspect that most people on this forum would also appreciate this. Another novel aspect of this set was the color palette. Again, it was nice to build something that was not yellow or red. The set consisted mainly of light grey, dark grey and tan pieces. However, this choice (namely lots of grey) also has some disadvantages which will be discussed later. Complexity: For a non-Technic set, I was really impressed with the functionality of this set. It is evident that the designers put a lot of effort into making it. It isn't revolutionary, but given its part count I think they pack a lot in. Things I didn't like: Although I liked the non-traditional color choices, at times it was difficult to distinguish between the different shades of grey in the instructions (mixing up white and light grey, light grey and dark grey, dark grey and black). Occasionally I would have to go back a step since I realized that I used the wrong color. Summary: If you are looking for a medium-large Technic set off the beaten track, check it out. Among the Discovery sets, this one seems to be the one that is most readily available. I really hope that in the future Lego will introduce more Technic sets like this (non-traditional vehicles/machines and in non-traditional colors). This is a fantastic example of what the possibilities are when they step outside the realm of the zillionth car / truck / construction machine. Out of curiosity, if anyone knows other "Technic-style" sets that are not part of the Technic theme (like this one), please share. -
[REVIEW] 42021 Snowmobile
EvilEnderman posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Review - Snowmobile 'Ello all Recently purchased the snowmobile, and wish to try my hand at this reviewing lark. It costs £14.99, and for non teadrinkers, USD $19.99 and EUR €14.99. This set appeals to me greatly, due to the plethora of interesting peices, and great angular design. Not to forget, those tracked peices too, especially as these are the first in my collection. Nonetheless, does it provide a nice set of skids for your quids? Let's find out! The box Here's the box, quite small, with a nice image of the set. Well presented so far - Shows suspension function in the corner Ashens fans will be relatively amused, 0-3 sad onions here! (Not the rare 0-8 we seldom see) Contents Out of the box came three polybags, one for tracks, one for small nitbits, and other for main elements - exciting bits can be seen already! Comes with instructions for A and B model, which is always great - to TLG for that. Upon opening the bags, we see some great pieces, new suspension arms that are compatible with this new small steering knob, and the larger one, making it great for all scales of vehicle. There's also a connector with the two cross axle holes coming out of it, as depicted as Hrafn's forum avatar - very useful piece. additionally, the dog bone I frame, another useful piece. But, most importantly for me, 6 of the thin 4x2 plates in black - I've always wanted a pair of those! The steering link here comes with no stoppers, which is always useful - especially after building Kuipers' pony car, which uses both sides. Not to forget the 3l pin with cross axle, which this set has 2 of! The Build Instructions are well laid out, had no issue distinguishing colours, although some steps were very simplified. We begin making the suspension assembly, with a clever use of the I frame. Turning radius is a little short, however. Another instruction shot, however I've highlighted the frictionless pin there, as I've perused the instructions with great effort, and haven't found anything that connects to it. If anyone does fathom its purpose, let me know Cool technique is used here, hat goes off ! Leftovers . Completed Model The finished model stands proudly on the desk, after about half an hour of building, helped along by some 80's rock, and a good cup of tea, it's looking great. Especially love the colour scheme of the black on green, and those angles are truly astounding. Note the pin on the L beam that stops the track from tipping up when being held, and the white gives it that sporty look. Great model! Stickers do compliment the model, but I found it looked great without too. They won't be staying on for long, however, as I have plans to use the panels! Front looks very 'gnarly' , and the suspension is plush, and fun to compress - also note that the chassis does not hit the ground when the spring bottoms out! The skids themselves feel a bit wobbly, but they do not come apart easily - those red pins were a bugger to get in, and I don't look forward to getting them out Track rolls freely, and satisfyingly, as well as being nigh on impossible to derail. steering lacks a bit on a hard surface like my desk, however, it's a lot better on the carpet. I doubt next year will bring any snow to test this on either, us Essex folk never have any luck with that The Verdict The functions of the set work perfectly for the price you pay, which isn't big! IT looks great, feels great in the hand, has great pieces that can be used for MOCs. So hats off to designer Mike Jeppeson! PROS Suspension Steering Great aesthetics Good colour scheme No STAMP CONS Could have had a few more functions Playability is limited on hard surfaces Skids are a tad flimsy Design 8.5/10 Looks absolutely stunning Build process 7.5/10 Nothing interesting, but not much repetition Functions 8/10 Functions work well, however there is a lot of empty space in the model Playability 7/10 Works wonders on carpet, but hard surfaces not so much, which could be a drawback for some Parts 9.5/10 Spectacular part selection Value for money 8.5/10 You get a good set of skids for your quids Total: 8/10 Cheers for reading, and apologies for not including a poll - I haven't got the ability to do so (if any staff could add one on, I'd be extremely thankful) This is my first review, so tips are greatly welcome! Also, if anyone found the reason for that frictionless pin, do share with us! Cheers again, Enderman -
Hello I want to present you my new creation - Audi R18. The idea of creating a large and motorized racing prototype came a long time ago, after watching the race 24 hours of Le Mans in 2012. When I create this project, I faced with a lot of difficulties because of which I have several times postponed the project indefinitely. It was originally planned that the car will be manual transmission, but because of its asymmetric location relative to the center, there were difficulties with the construction of the chassis so I refused it. Similarities with the prototype very conditional, but the originals I took it Audi R18. Feautres: - 2 L-motor to the drive with gear 3:5 and 20:28 - Servo motor on the steering - IR receiver a new type, BB Original: My version: That's all. Thank you for your attention. Your Sicil. Sorry for my bad english.
