I like the idea of transformers. I made one for TC7: -
[MOC] RC Boat Mk II
BusterHaus replied to KirTech LAB's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Very good work, it's a speedy boat. I like the low profile, the electrical components are nicely hidden. By the way, didn't you go swimming with the first version? -
[WIP] Straddle Carrier
BusterHaus replied to Lasse D's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Gears skip when they aren't braced enough, and the axles can change position. 90 degree transfers can be braced properly using this piece when space is an issue: The build looks very interesting so far, I'm interested to see how it progresses. -
This was going to be my exact comment. The wind deflector on the roof is made out of the curved panels, and doesn't look out of proportion. Excellent work, its a beautiful truck.

[MOC] Old little tractor RS09
BusterHaus replied to Jundis's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Awesome job, so many functions in a tight space. -
Compact wormgear gearbox?
BusterHaus replied to Mechbuilds's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
By the way @RocketPuppy and @Didumos69 brought up a very good point - this is a very inefficient way to transfer power. I would suggest using a very high reduction instead of a worm gear, it should help stop the car in place without power. -
Compact wormgear gearbox?
BusterHaus replied to Mechbuilds's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
You will need to unlock the output of the worm gear to make it work, hence the second gear selector. Red = input Green = output Gear selectors need to be synchronized, but work in opposite directions Here's the LDR file if you're interested. Bracing not included. -
A strong Geneva mechanism with minimal slack in Lego is almost a Holy Grail. The ones that I've seen are either huge, have a lot of play, or only work as a proof of concept and could not support high torque. Your solution looks to be more locked in place than those, and looks like it could be refined to be stronger. I'll second @1963maniac, could you please post some pictures of the assembly?

General Part Discussion
BusterHaus replied to Polo-Freak's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
@I_Igor Regardless of the gear type selection, you will need 3 gears to have the servo output aligned with the steering shaft. This will create slack, no matter the option. In my experience the only way to avoid this is to have direct steering.- 5,506 replies

[MOC] scynox's workshop
BusterHaus replied to scynox's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
This is a fantastic looking build. Are all the grill parts available in yellow? Might make it more coherent to match the camshaft parts. -
Who else is having fun? Maybe we should coordinate our efforts. By the way Step 297 has an error in it, the 4L tan axle is pushed in too deep through the tan bevel gear. It's corrected in Step 301.

First 10 steps in case anyone wants to use them. Edit: @Ngoc Nguyen Page 174 of the instructions is folded, can you please post it?

Apologies for the late reply, but this Speed Champions set has a Ford F150 with rubber band suspension. It's incredibly well done. I get the feeling that it won't work in large models. https://www.lego.com/en-ca/product/ford-f-150-raptor-ford-model-a-hot-rod-75875
