Hey everyone,
Here is a new rendition of a crawler I built years ago. Re-did the whole model in the old, first generation slotted pins
www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=115080&hl=molds
and also used a variety of other methods to strengthen the model. Check out my mocpages for more information. http://mocpages.com/...hp/422162����It is a little bit of a read but I think well worth it. Quickly, the goal of this model was to make it strong enough to really utilize all the power PF XL motors provide. I think often we get caught up in complaining that they are too weak.... when actually, I think they are fairly strong, slow, but strong. I think the real problem with lack of power in some builds is simply not using the power effectively. A lot of power can get lost in bad Technic connections and /or the axles.
