Odd Technic Questions
andrewganschow replied to DrJB's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Well the 42048 go kart has a functional steering wheel, although it's mounted in the center. -
not being able everyday to work on the model, and see it in person by one another is the hardest part of collaboration, I cant think of any other people that live in Kentucky here in the US that are avid technic fans, and if there are they're probably a couple hours away, it would kinda be nice to have a map, thats anonyomus, of the entire world, each user could put up a pin on the map of they're location, just to see how were spread across the world.

Odd Technic Questions

if you look in the cab of 42043, it has the steering wheel mount on both left and right side, not sure if it was intentional, or just simplified building, but its there. -
your correct, almost like a cvt transmission you can choose any ratio of steering in between the 2 endstops, it works better with the 3 selector positions as they hold the steering in place. you would have to use a small LA in order to fine tune the positioning of the selector and hold it in place. if you have the pieces to build it, i would, as its a really good base for building vehicles or tractor.Barman, wonderful recreation, now were just waiting on dokludi to recreate the whole machine:)

That is amazing work, to be able to make the balls always go forward, but it's also so simple. -
Well for anyone that's gonna invest a lot of time and money into technic, I suggest building mechanisms similar to akiyuki's liftarm sorter and axle sorter. I'm pretty sure there's not instructions on them. But they would work wonders for sorting a collection. On the actual topic, I would purchase 42043 as a starter set, as it provides a great base for modifications, learning, and incorporate's alot of useful parts for building. I'd also say to get 42009 if you can before prices go up on it now, its amazing to me the amount of gear that went into the crane. The outriggers are a neat use of the red 8 tooth gear, and it steers like a charm.

I'll use the little brother to get to the top of 42055 when I releases. Wonderful build, the arm extension is cool. -
I ordered pump model kpm27h, I think yours was kpm27c. Shouldn't be any major difference.

The pump only requires .3 amps. So I'm pretty sure it'll run off of the PF BB.

what on earth is happening there?? On a different note, what does the superstructure use as a pivot point? I think a simple pin would shear of after a while, ifs its as heavy as it looks, and an axle doesn't seem like an efficient attachment method. What if the new style turntables are used for pivots, the mounting points fit nicely into a frame piece, and would provide great strength. I hope it's designed this way now that I'm thinking of it.
