[HELP] Technic Panels
bjorkan posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Does somebody know any text/report/web page where Lego Technic panel parts have been introduced or discussed or presented, in fact that system is mostly unclear to me, what sizes and angles covers, which are left/right and what is basic idea to use them. I grew up with other "bricks" and learned how to use them, but these parts I usually avoid. Thanks or should I just get all of them and start combining... -

Hey Everyone, I see that the crawlers are a big hit on this site. Just wanted to share one that I built a while ago and made a recent new video for. Pretty good climbing skills. Aesthetically, not much there, but I tried to keep the overall weight down to enhance functionality. http://mocpages.com/moc.php/368692

On the page http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/LEGO_Wiki I found the information that Power Functions is being discontinued, I don't get it -- what does it mean that there will be no more motors, batteries, etc? My Lego God...

[MOC] Two Crawlers based on 9398
ddimkin posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi Guys. Here are my first two 9398 based crawlers. The tracktor is my personal favorite - it is 20g lighter then the Evil Crawler with netweight of 770g. (excluding battery - 200g and balancing weights - 100g). Using a DC/DC converter to keep a constant voltage of 11.8V and a 8.4V third party Li Ion battery. A second 9398 set is on its way and I hope to be able to build more complex models then :) 1.

Tips on work area when building a Technic set
paulrobinson posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello, I was a massive fan of Lego and in particular Technic as a child. Now I'm coming back to it as a 31 yr old AFOL. As I child, when building a large set, I used to put all the pieces on a large tray (un-sorted). As an adult, I realized that this was rather inefficient so, I now sort into about 5 groups of parts, each in there own tray or tub. It's a bit of a pain as some of the tubs can be quite deep with pieces making it hard to find what I'm looking for. It's also annoying when I have to put it all away as i have many tubs and trays to pack up. How are the rest of you doing this? Is there a preferred organization process that I could adopt? Maybe you have some sort of large tray with dividers in, for example? Any advice would be great, Paul. -
Electric (PF) throttle for pneumatic engine
nerdsforprez posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hey Ya'all, I am new here, so I sincerely hope that there is not already a thread for this. I see there is a thread for 8110 improvements, but this post only partially applied to it so I am beignning a new one. I built a mechanism for electrically controlling the air valve for Lego Pneumatics. Take a look and comment! Glad to be part of the community! http://mocpages.com/moc.php/393479 -
Hi guys, I'm PROlego, an Spanish FOL who would like to know the top builders (in our forum we don't have many Technic fans, appart from Sheepo and Jorgeopesi, the first is my favorite Technic supercar builder (Porsche :drool:) and the second is also one of my favourite builders, partly because of his great MINI models and partly because of his great skills with cars like the Pagani Huayra and the Ferrari F40 and building machines. I've been playing with lego system for about 8 years and with lego technic for about 3 years. I'm (of course) not at all as good as them and still learning. Now I own this Technic things (I also own like 30 more System sets) SETS- 8839, 9398, 42010, 8406 and some other "half technic" sets like 8491, 8493, 8138. SEPARATE PF- Battery box, 2x XL motors, 2x M motors, IR V1 and "small" controller. I hope to learn many things here, because on the Spanish forum HispaLUG we don't have as many "Technicians" as here. I apologize in advance for my bad English, but well, at least is better than the average English for my age here . Have fun! PROlego.

[MINI] KOMATSU 931.1 harvester
LegoMathijs posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
My entry for the Technic MINI contest is the KOMATSU 931.1 harvester. I’ve decided to build the KOMATSU 931.1 for this contest because it’s an interesting vehicle which have some nice elements to build with a maximum of 200 parts. In real, the harvester fulfills a certain need for it’s users because of the functionallity of it. That makes it an interesting, special vehicle to build on scale. On the following pictures, you can see the KOMATSU 931.1 is harvesting some trees: 1_KOMATSU_931.1 by LegoMathijs, on Flickr 3_KOMATSU_931.1 by LegoMathijs, on Flickr 6_KOMATSU_931.1 by LegoMathijs, on Flickr The harvester is moving the cutted trees: 9_KOMATSU_931.1 by LegoMathijs, on Flickr A closer look at the functions of the KOMATSU 931.1: 11_KOMATSU_931.1_technical_overview by LegoMathijs, on Flickr Parts count: 12_KOMATSU_931.1_parts_count by LegoMathijs, on Flickr If you like to see more pictures of the KOMATSU 931.1: Flickr -

Is there an alternative for this driveshaft solution?
Omikron posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
This thing is awesome on large scale models but I'm looking for more compact solution if there is any, since I don't want to upscale my model just to fit the scale of this part. Any suggestions? -
I present to you my creation! It is a wheel loader. I was trying to make a PF version of 8439, but with the the shape of the small LA plus the gears, it was not happening. So I just started working from the turn table on up. It has: 4x medium motor 2x reciever 4x wheels (of course it does) ???-parts (still working on the LDD of it) You can see it is a little short on finished, but want to show what I made and thoughts on what else I could make it in to. The steering is a little complicated. It's all gears, but turns slow enough. It turned slower and not jerky in the first biuld, but in the redesign I could not fit one of the gear pairs in. I should shorten the arms a little bit, because it can only pick up 3 of the 68.8x24 wheels. A few more pictures are www.bricksafe.com/pages/weavil

Porsche 918 Spyder 1:10
Porsche96 posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Welcome everybody :) Today I’d like to present my new MOC, which was built especially for a contest on LugPol. Porsche 918 Spyder Specifications: Scale 1:10 Length 58s / width 27s / height 13s (46,4/21,6/10,4 cm) Weight: 1800 g Independent suspension 4 steered wheels 4 wheel drive Functions: Driving (RC) Steering (Servo) Tilting spoiler during turning V8 dummy LED headlights Openable mask, bonnet and doors History I started the building of the model 2 weeks ago. In the first week I created the chassis and in the second week the body. The main goal was to build a sports car driven by RC motor with four wheel drive. I was watching different car models, I wanted to build a Lamborghini, but at the Brickshelf there are lots of them. So I decided to build Porsche 918 Spyder, which, similarly as new 911, has 4 wheel steered. The contest assumed that you can use only 2 motors. So to the maximum use of motors I decided to built a spoiler which works like the Pagani Huayra’s one – during turning one side of the spoiler goes up, e.g. the car turn left and the left side of spoiler goes up. Driving Porsche is driven by single RC motor from the slower output with ratio 5,5:1. There are driven four wheels using three diffrentials. Steering To steer I used servo motor. There are two steered axles: the first with ratio 1:1 and second with 2,8:1. To the axle responsible for steering of the rear wheels there is a connection to the spoiler which goes up during turning. Suspension The independent suspension is based on the Lego arms. On each front wheel there is one spring from the yellow absorber 6,5L and a rubber band connected to the arms. In the rear wheels for depreciation there is used one yellow absorber 6,5L for each wheel. Some photos Gallery -
[WIP] Supercar with automatic transmission
MSc Shobaki posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello you guys! My name is Ahmed El Shobaki, 25 years old, originally from Palestine, born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden. I've been reading through the topics for a while now in the Technic Mindstorms etc. section which led me to start a project of my own. After being inspired by very famous technic builders, namely Paul Boratko aka Crowkillers, Nathanael aka NK as well as Sheepo, I felt interested in building something extraordinary. Currently, I'm studying to become a MSc. Engineer in Advanced machine design at RIT, Stockholm where I only have some courses left before I get my degree. Enough said about me for now My project is about designing a smooth, great looking car as the fellow builders which previously were mentioned build, but I want it to be multifunctional. So I stated some criterias for the car to feature: Realistic suspension and steering (camber, caster, ackermann, multilink etc.) Front wheel driven by PF PF operated steering of wheels and steering wheel Remote controlled Fully mechanical automatic transmission. Pneumatic controlled doors with onbord compressor and remote controlled valve (open/close) PF Lights Two-seater Last but not least, easy access to batterybox as well as other functions like e.g. openable boot and hood. Three days ago, I learned how to use SR3D and now I'm almost halfway through with my model. I haven't built the model IRL, so the project can be either a real success when I finally build it or a complete failure hahahaha This is due to my regular work in the university where I'm an experienced CAD-designer and design stuff first in CAD before I manufacture something. I will post images of the building process and I hope that you'll like what you'll see. - MSc Shobaki Some WIP images: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zkvp9a2tj3447os/AACc-ffpXP16P-lY06Y450Hea?m= -
[MINI] Cargo plane WIP
Omikron posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi all! This is my entry topic for [MINI] contest. I hope photos are not too heavy. Enjoy. This is "White dream" cargo plane inspired by Antonov 225. This is Antonov 225 Let's begin the overview with front view: Side view: - Front cargo bay opened and plane is tilted to load the TGV train. This is how original does it: Train loaded: But wait, there's more! Lets load a diesel locomotive in the rear cargo bay! - Done! Captain? - Ok, load all remaining cargo and start the checks. - Close all the hatches, we're preparing to take-off! - All pre-flight checks are done except landing gear check. - Rear landing gear checked! - Front landing gear checked! - Ok, perform the turn. - Start all engines, we're about to take-off! Vooooooooooooooshhhhhhhhhhhhh (6x times), (simultaneously), ( and VERY LOUD) - Taking-OFF Flies towards the sunset. Why this topic is a WIP? The model including cargo contains 199 parts. However there is a second variant of cargo load. Which brings us to 200 parts. And combining this cargo gives us a nice stand. So I just can't decide which one to use. They both are cool. So I want to ask YOU! What do you like more? In the mean time I'm slowly putting all parts to make one picture for a complete set. Hope you like it! -
[MINI] Service Truck
CharlieBravo posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi All Welcome to my first entry (and post) on Eurobricks. After recieving the CUUSOO Delorean as a gift from my lovely partner (20 years since I packed away my lego as a child!), I decided to google about modern lego. Wow, was I impressed - lego sure has come a long way. Anyway, I stumbled across Eurobricks (some impressive MOCs here!), and when I saw the contest I decided to dust off my old sets (well, what few I had - 8035, 8020, 8054 and that vintage), and give it a go. After looking at the other entries, it feel a bit out of place - it's not that mini, and not exactly modern technic (is this allowed?), but perhaps in 1994 TLG may have released this model Anyway, here are 193 non-randomly selected pieces. Grouping in lots of 10 helps with the counting. Some sort of chassis forming. The boom at the back. With functions of a tow rope, raise and lower arm, and to extend/retract wheel holder. The finished model. Four functions in total: -4 wheel steering -Raise/lower boom -Tow hook on string -extend/retract wheel holder I would love to make the boom only 4-studs wide (to be more realistic), but it will exceed the part count. [Edit] - main photo below, now with lego string from a 42009. Edit - view of the raise/lower mechanisms. Given the restricted range of movement, rotation around a large gear works. -Charliebravo -

I'm bothered more than I should be about this. Which way is correct/most used?

Linear to angular motion
zeppelin posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi Eurobricks Members, I'm working on a project where I need to convert a linear movement to an angular movement. The model needs to be very accurate and also very robust. I have been spending hours on prototyping a workable solution with gears, linear actuators etc, but none of them seem to be working good enough. This is a image of the mechanics I'm having trouble with: max length : 15 studs, max height is 3 studs after the green dot and the red axles is were a medium/large motor is connected The contraption need to be able to lift at least 300grams. Gears are slipping, gear racks are not working properly and Lineair actuators are interfering with the other parts of the model. (as there are not supposed to be sticking out lego elements when the liftarm has reached it's upper position, this means that all parts should be after the green dot when the liftarm has reached his 90°+ position). I hope you guys will be able to help me out! Thanks in advance, Zeppelin -
Hi Everyone! This thread will contain all my WIP with regular updates, and finished projects will have their own thread, with high quality pics, videos and maybe files. I will be using this to document everything I do with Lego Technic! Gone a bit mad To start with, here is my current problem!!!! My Patria 8x8 AMV ....broke I was just testing on level ground, then a small object and crack! :cry_sad: I will just swap them over from left to right, but still very puzzling after not even going off-road! Is this a known flaw? Anyone else experienced simpler breakage? My other current project is a 32 Ford Hot Rod. Here is a quick video of performance. It features live axles front and rear and chassis modeled of the real thing. 2XL motors power and 1 servo for steering. More pics are coming soon, so stay tuned! Thanks for looking!

[MINI] Technic Mini Core Magnetizer
drakmin posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
This is work in progress topic for my possible entry: Technic remake of the classic 6989 Mega Core Magnetizer. At the moment part count is 222. Functions: 3 levers on rear which fully control crane arm. Crane pan left/right Crane tilt up/down Crane zoom forward/backward Simple steering Openable cabin For now I am not satisfied how the cabin window looks. This is the hardest part to mimic because the original Magnetizer has the iconic trans neon yellow cabin window. Original Magnetizer for reference :)
