    In Sariel's video at 1:48 you can see the voltage and amperage: 4.17V and 650mA in normal mode. This would mean 8.3V in 2X mode, assuming they use the same batteries in the production units. I don't think there's much risk to the motors. Please take these numbers with a grain of salt and wait for official feedback from BuWizz.

    You may want to check out imurvai's work on an Android Game Controller for the SBrick.

    Haha, this little guy seems to be breaking the laws of gravity - it just refuses to tip over. It seems like you got the gear ratio just right, too. Enough speed on flats and torque to climb over anything.

    Very well done! I'm a fan of those wheels, so this model gets a few extra points from me. How was the video shot? It's incredibly stabilized - was it a drone?

    A couple questions that pop up right away: 1) What type of battery will this project use? NiMH? LiPo? 2) What is the capacity of the battery? Overall it looks like a great product, but I don't want them to cut corners by putting in a cheap battery. I suppose I should be asking this on their project page. Edit - more questions: 3) How many volts is the fast mode? KS page say 2x the power, so maybe the question should be what is the base voltage? 4) Any chance of app compatibility between the BuWizz and the SBrick?

    Wow, I love this build. Great job fitting all the functions and having the corresponding controls in the cockpit.

    I like the use of two different colors on the body and the general shape of the car, but I would get rid of the Corvette name on the pictures. Like you said, it's based on a Corvette, but the differences between your build and an actual Vette are too big to claim that this is a scale model. It's a nice build, just don't try to claim it's more than it is.

    Logarithmic expressions are written as X to the power of N. So it's a defined number X to the power of N. Since you already have the exponent function, all you need to do is apply it to the number X.

    I like that Richard is going through this exercise, and that he's providing pictures. I was at one point tempted to buy a set or two to check the quality, since almost none of the topics about the knockoff sets have pictures. This is saving me some time and money.

    You can start by checking the price guide on bricklink: http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=4529#T=P I would also suggest checking the part list in the instructions against the physical inventory. This will let you know if the set is complete, or if you have extra (or missing) parts. As Blakbird said, the tires are worth quite a bit, so if you have extra ones you can sell them apart. Check the price guide on any extra or missing pieces and adjust the set price accordingly.

    You can write the Xth root of any number as the number with an exponent of 1/X. You already have the exponent function, time to apply it. Log() will also use the exponent function, this time a base number N with an exponent of X (X is your variable, N is defined once).

    Nice work, the narrow tracks must limit the scale, but you seem to be fitting more and more features in each build. The speed and maneuverability are well executed.

    I can't believe all the functions you included in this build. Excellent work, it could be an Ultimate set.

    Sorry to hear about the difficulties you are facing due to the lower PR budgets. I hope things turn around soon. This is a very solid model and the bow is probably my favorite part. I like the Dutch livery but if you are releasing this model independently maybe a pirate livery would work better.

    It depends on the builder. Some use it to design only certain elements, like complex gearboxes, as it allows to focus on the gears instead of the pieces holding them in place. Some, like ZBLJ, design everything virtually and change stuff as they build. Others, like me, build with bricks and make instructions once the model is completed. Primary modeling programs at this point are LDD, MLCad and LDCad. Use either of the last two if you plan to make proper instructions, as the automatic stepping in LDD rarely works correctly (at least for Technic models). Making instructions from MLCad or LDCad requires additional programs, you can find all the info in the Digital Designer section of Eurobricks.

    I'm looking forward to seeing this one Edwin. Looks promising so far.

    Nice and compact, very well done. How strong does the limiter have to be? Would there be any advantage to using shock absorbers to apply more pressure? I'm guessing at some point the force required to shift gears starts playing a role.

    Haha this is fantastic, I love it. Good photography, too.
  19. BusterHaus
    Very nice! The stickers on the small black panels work very well on the blade. I like the functions, too.

    Mission accomplished, I am going to bed less stupid tonight. I was not familiar with this mechanism.
  21. BusterHaus
    It's a very well executed proof of concept, but I don't think it will be used in many MOCs, as is much too big to be integrated into a car or any other scaled model. Have you tested how much torque it can transfer?

    Yoshihito Isogawa posted a video showing how to attach the Ninjago fan to an axle. Lots of potential with this part.

    You can combine this wishlist and ask for a Ferrari Sky Jump V95 Dualsteer.

    You really captured the essence of this truck. It's a beautiful model. The stickers make it outstanding.

    Thanks for the write up, it's pretty informative. Silly question - does the manufacturing area smell like a freshly opened bag of bricks?
