    This thing needs a trailer for the EW160.

    This needs a trailer.

    The kid in the back sums it up pretty much, 'I want one'.

    Please add a banana in all your photos, people will be amazed by the scale.

    I think the cab hangs foreward a bit to much, other than that great job!

    Although I think RV's are totally utterly crap you seem to prefectly recreate this piece of crap. From the powerbrick to the drivetrain, well done!

    Hi Effe, is there a way to combine parts to get the price down a little bit? I'm wanting to use some of your 49x20 mudguards for two of my trucks, a quick count tells me I need 24 of your mudguards for this project (four on each axle), that's a total of 181.- in muduards. I'm willing to pay the premium for your time invested in these products, but together with some 62x20 sets Shapeways is quoting me 276.- including shipping. Even with Lego being the charity i'm hesitating.

    Glue.

    Batteries? Isn't there continuous power available at each stand?

    What is the scale of this model? I'll build a trailer for it. With lots of wheels.

    It looks like a ship, is that intentional?

    If your creation is fairly long you might need to add a second servo. I have a model with a wheelbase around 100 studs and when you steer with a single servo the torsion in the central steering axle prevents te rear axle from turning. Only axles close to the servo will steer depending on the weight and friction on the remaining wheels.

    Isn't there room for a 24t gear? that would speed up the steering quite a bit.

    Also missing the pin connector with axle hole. And a red 2l axle when buildig the cabin.

    The four stud long old 9v motor produces about 6N.cm @340RMP, the new M-motor produces 11N.cm @400RPM, if you normalise both to the same RPM and ignore losses due to friction you will see that the new M-motor produces twice the amount of torque at the same speed as opposed to the four stud long 9v motor. 10N.cm vs. 22N.cm @200RPM.

    If you are building this model from scratch, implement the new powerfunctions M-motor instead of the old-new-v2 9V motor. At the same RPM the M-motor is twice as strong.

    5th wheel is the US description of a trailer attachment.

    This could be a official technic set.

    Compressing air is quite easy, you can even buy a container of compressed air in your local wallmart. Compressed oil isn't so easily accomplished. Also oils ability to maintain its density when temperature changes is a big plus for accuracy.

    If you tap the linked brick a page should open where you can select the polarity of a port.

    8879. I can't paste text in this box so you'll have to look it up yourself on the Lego.com website.

    Normal remote has only two settings, full power forward or full power backwards. The train remote has 14 settings, seven in each direction. With the train remote you can drive/steer at seven different speeds/angles. So you can make a fast wide turn, slow narrow turn and everything in between.
  23. Jelmer
    Steering with servo works fine as long as you use the train remote or sBrick. I don't get it why they didn't include the train remote, according to their own webshop the thing is $4.- more than the regular remote, for four dollars you get way better control over the model.

    Everytime I see these kind of moc's im going to sit in the corner of my room, just crying till I convice myself I can do it too. Then the next one comes along.....
  25. Jelmer
    That depends on the strain you put on the motor. Five motors running freely aren't a problem but five motors near stalling will crap out the battery within a few seconds. If you want power without protection you should disable the current limiter in the Lego battery boxes or use a third party battery.
