    Could be. Or he's checking if the guys working on the engine behind him got the propellers going :)

    It was HERO GoPro3 in its standard housing.

    But that's the problem - our perception clearly varies a lot. I'm making relaxed observations, and you're like "calm down" and "take it easy". And I'm already trying to comment as rarely as possible.

    I don't know where this impression comes from. Maybe I shouldn't comment at EB at all. Huge: http://www.philohome...s/motorcomp.htm

    Of course it is and I'm not denying anybody their own opinions. You expressed yours, I presented a different view, that's it. Sorry if it sounded like throttling up.

    No, they are not. And I already have a car that will be even faster. Also, with the L motors available, I think we have a chance for supercars that are both functional and reasonably fast. I, at least, will try may hand at this. The bottom line, sir, is simple - let people try and see for themselves what Lego is fit for. You don't have to motorize your cars if you don't like it, but don't limit the others. I'm pretty sure a couple of years ago people said the same about Trial Trucks.

    Here's a very good copy built by Efjie. Feel invited to share yours :)

    No, it features my hand. Not really, although I haven't examined them very closely. I don't expect them to get damaged from a wooden floor.

    Read the description at my website, link's in the first post.

    I hope Kim Jong-un forgives me for building this... Load the Anti-Cat round! Photos & reading: http://sariel.pl/201...-black-panther/

    You may want to consider using the L motors. They offer way more mounting options.
  13. Sariel
    They cover almost all surfaces with chrome film. Naturally, that makes a piece slightly larger, and it fits in axle pins and other connectors more tightly.

    A hubcap I sent to Aurimax for custom chroming: before (left) and after (right). Note that the plastic LEGO uses for hubcaps is somewhat elastic, making chroming tricky:

    Don't know / can't say yet.

    German edition of the Guide is coming in June: http://dpunkt.de/bue...chnic-buch.html

    Hard to say since it's the silver edition I have ;)

    Interesting thread! Let me show you what I'm using. Here are two mountings, both use no glue, no modified pieces, both connect to cameras easily and without leaving any marks, and both hold them firmly enough to work even upside-down in shaky conditions: - this was built to hold Casio Exilim FS-10 camera, but it's versatile enough to work with most smartphones and other cameras of similar size. The use of the 5x7 frame allows plenty of various connections without adding much weight, I have even added wheels to it on several occasions: - and here is a mounting for the GoPro 3 camera. I kept it minimalistic and didn't put the GoPro housing over camera to make it lightweight. It's just 90 grams and provides many options to connect it.

    If you send him the pieces you need to be chromed, and you hit the moment when he's preparing a new batch for chroming, he can be a lot faster.

    What's wrong with the radio control remote with proportional control that was designed specifically for RC motors?
  22. Sariel
    I have quite a number of MOCs to choose from, but I think this is the worst:
  23. Sariel
    The 5292 motor was created as a "special purpose" motor for a line of fast RC LEGO cars. There is a possibility that it will never see a proper replacement, as LEGO has apparently moved to making each motor as universal as possible.
  24. Sariel
    Well, the Servo and L motors, for example, are only in one. That's the problem - I don't know what we pay for £80 when buying 42000. It's seems much more expensive than it should be for what it offers. What's so special in there, stickers?
  25. Sariel
    Oh come on. £80 for a bunch of beams and panels is a bad joke. The wheel hubs are disappointing, the wheels don't differ much from the ones we already have. The parts you mentioned are worth maybe £20 at Bricklink. And since when no electrics is good?
