Dan's scrapyard
syclone replied to syclone's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Small half hour pull-bak model. Inspired by Rocket Voltic from GTA V. 2 motors on rear , 1 motor on front. Even though it is fast , it is still a boring pullback. full photo gallery here -
Technic 2018 set discussion
syclone replied to Kaanere's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
@BrickbyBrickTechnic @I_Igor quote: "One winner will take home LEGO Technic models worth 1,000 EUR (about $1500 AUD), a signed LEGO Technic 42043 Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3245 box, and a specialised Winner certificate. Nine runners-up will each be awarded a signed LEGO Technic 42043 Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3245 box, and a specialised certificate." Back to the topic: Hopefully the Rally Car won't be RWD only , we've got enought of simplistic sets already -
The program is Lego Digital Designer (LDD) , it is an official program to build digitally http://ldd.lego.com Once opened the file , you can click on any part to see it's name and number By clicking Ctrl+B you can export a .xlsx parts list with images (Microsoft Excel Open XML Format Spreadsheet file). I made one right now for this mechanism: download

Technic 2018 set discussion

Rallye car would be nice if it was at smaller scale, but keeping the 4wd. Hopefully it won't be another boring pullback. Giant licensed truck? Meh, enought with the Arocs and 2017 2H one. The catamaran yacht sounds interesting, would be great if it could float. -

[MOC] Wheeled Asphalt Paver
syclone replied to jotta93's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Very unusual vehicle , great use of the tumbler tires -
Certainly interesting model, I like how the front is made. Btw, using Technic wheels does not make something a Model Team MOC, and unless you have steering it would fit better in another EB subforum, there you would get more feedback

Tried on Firefox - PC & mobile , neither work for me. What happened to the technic forum?

This is very basic: PF plugs have 4 contacts as shown on Philo's page: The IR receiver uses the C1 and C2 to control the motors , while the BuWizz uses the 9V and 0V ones. quote from Philohome PF presentation: "A few facts and tips: Normal motors (Medium, Large and XL) as well as Power Functions light are connected only to C1/C2 lines. These lines carry electric power needed to make them turn or shine. Power Functions servo motor gets its power from 0/9V lines, and is controlled from the state and PWM duty cycle of C1/C2 lines" Basically , you can have 4 BuWizz outpus working independently from the Receivers connected to them, as long as the receivers use M, XL or L motors I don't know how people haven't noticed that , because at least for me it was something very clear and the functionality with Sbrick has been proven long ago.

The problem is that the shock absorber is mounted onto the lower wishbone, what means that all the effort of the wheel goes into separating that pin connection. there are two solution: add a vertical connection between top wishbone and lower wishbone (look at the front suspension of 42037, there the 5l liftarms hold both wishbones together) this would require removing the kingpin inclination to make both wishbones equal length make a custom hub with the lower wishbone pin pointing down. this way the suspension won't be able to separate that connection because the movement force will be pushing the pin into the hub. I recommend looking into the Axle collection thread about the video: just paste the url , it should insert itself automatically.

Good day. This is a trial truck using 1 XL motor for drive, 1 M motor for steering and powered by BuWizz. The drive is powered through a worm gear to 8t gear, creating a powerful 1:8 reduction. It uses model team wheels , they don't have the best perfomance, but it is good enough. For the bodywork I was inspired by ГАЗ-66 (gaz-66), although it isn't an exact copy. Both doors can be opened, the seats and steering wheel are adjustable LDD model available here: download

Technic 2017 Set Discussion
syclone replied to CM4Sci's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
My hope was lost. Technic will be merged with Duplo soon due to all these recolors to "not confuse". I'll pass on all sets , waste of money with all the useless pieces. -

James Bruton (aka XRobots) has built an electric skateboard from up-scaled 3D printed lego bricks . You may find the video interesting , althought the actual drive tests are still pending -

Nice to see this topic back alive , it is always better than any review -
If you have a track you should shoot from above to make a good demonstration, making stitching together different videos almost impossible. it is very easy to stitch together videos that don't have any references like a track has.
-
Imho the track is a great idea, if people just show videos of performance we can't judge correctly because these won't be the same tests. It's not the same racing a track and just showing how a car can turn. While racing you need to take care about speed ups and slow downs (one needs to stop accelerating when entering a curve and accelerate when exiting). Just my two cents
