    For a moment I thought I was watching a rescue spreader , I can´t wait to see it work, the carrier of course .

    I have it, but my seats are no longer white , It remains for me the best Lego car set.

    I break pieces everyday but I suppose my case is not usual. I never keep MOCs or sets mounting so I guess that my pieces sufer a lot of stress, some of them may have been in more than 15 MOCs and it is true that they have begun to habitually break a couple of years ago, 1 or 2 per hour. These are the most fragile, surprisingly I've never broken a gear or transmission part.

    Sometimes it is not the MOC itself. I felt something similar with my Komatsu 600-6, it was one of my favorite MOCs but it was done after and during the 42030 fever with same tyres and bucket, of course there were people who called it MOD even giving free instructions. I don't know if it is the same case but I will watch the instructions of the car.

    I don't say bad or good. It depends. Bad if you are a MOC builder because you break pieces everytime, good if you are a collector, in anycase both will buy again.

    If you buy something for the rest of your life there is no business, that is all.

    More progress with tubes and a new improved linkage. New one is less than a mm smaller than the old one but it makes the movement of the bucket even better, I love linkages . I'm a little blocked, the more space I have to work fewer ideas I have, I'm too accustomed to insufficient space.

    I know it, I am building it too .

    I always like to see wheel loaders, great number of functions in a small place. In my opinion if put all functions you want makes so unrealistic the MOC I prefer increase the scale looking for more room, if you wanted to build the smallest wheel loader awesome work.

    I think the same and there won´t be load to play, maybe rice when my wife doesn´t see me . I saw the Sariel pneumatic comparison and a small large cylinder has less force than a small short one so I don´t know, even being 2 at the same time...

    Challenge accapted . Watching how they work and the parts that I think I will use I think they will work very good. I know I am in a competition but I always share ideas I will not change for the hope of a prize. 2 new questions. First, front part and arm are strong but they would be stronger using the small large cylinders, I realized today. Are they enough strong to lift the arm?. Second, another steering idea, hand of god steering connected to a pneumatic switch and a small pump with a 24th clutch gear, crazy enough?.

    Very cool , I like harmless war machines .

    Playing with pneumatics, now I remember why I don´t like them because I have to place tubes, luckily I have not many functions... I think I don´t use the air tank to have better control of movements. Great concept maybe for a bigger version that no doubt, I will built . You know I will sooner or later .

    I had written this if I could .

    That is what I say, the best car I remember now having similar width is the Predator from Nathanaël Kuipers and I think it has 27 studs, great car but unreal car.
  16. jorgeopesi
    Maybe I am wrong, a 1:10 car use to have 25 studs of width sometimes even more but they are not realistic cars. How many studs has your car from wheel to wheel?.
  17. jorgeopesi
    If it is a 1:10 scale car you have serious problems with the width...
  18. jorgeopesi
    I have to think about it , another idea would be a pneumatic cylinder turning a gear connect to a small linear actuator like in old trains .
  19. jorgeopesi
    Nothing to see for me.
  20. jorgeopesi
    I hope soo, it has been many years without using little cylinders. A wheel loader doesn´t have much pneumatic elements so that's why I used them also in the steering, you are right it won´t be easy at all . Thanks, you are right too but it would be a challenge achieve a decent steering and after all, this is why I love Lego. This is what I mean when I wrote spring working with an open valvule I suppose. I don´t know much more about pneumatic it is time to learn anyway what ever idea will be wellcome .
  21. jorgeopesi
    More progress in steering, I am using 2 small pneumatic cylinders, I don´t know very well if they will be enough strong to move the machine, we will see... I am thinking on different ways to make a sweet move. My first idea was connect them to a manual pump in order to control better the movement, another crazy idea was use a spring for a pneumatic return to center steering but I still have to think a lot.
  22. jorgeopesi
    I think just the opposite, I can´t have more than one MOCs at the same time... and in that rare case, until I dismount one of them the other does not begin to flow properly. Now is this rare case I am working in my TC10 entry and I still have the Porsche 911 of rebrick contest and every day I look it wanting to unmount .
  23. jorgeopesi
    For me there is not more fun that design arms and linkages for machines, one millimeter makes the difference and you have to test over and over again looking for best travel possible.
  24. jorgeopesi
    I can't be more agree.

    My wife too, it also calls Edwin... :laugh: . Testing jokes on english .
