  1. COPERNICON started following aeh5040

    I had similar experiences, but I had not quite understood the explanation. Thanks for the this - it's good to know for the future! Very interesting info!

    I would like the yellow part (except with a pin hole not a axle hole at the bottom middle), and possibly the green. Apologies if this has been suggested already.

    In case people haven't seen, these beauties are now available at last

    In my experience (from shows, etc.) knob gears are actually terrible for high torque applications (contrary to what I expected). They degrade very quickly, then develop very high friction, and finally start flaking off pieces. After a few experiences like this I decided never to use them again.
  6. aeh5040
    That axle problem is appallingly bad. Looks as though the designer did not consult anyone with Technic experience.
  7. aeh5040
    Yes there is. In fact there is a neat ratchet mechanism which serves as a noise maker when lifting off and supplies friction against going down again. (Pretty much how a real rocket works in fact !)
  8. aeh5040
    Isn't there a friction pin in the gear train?

    I'm not completely convinced. The core complaint seems to be: there are now more technic sets of the kind that we don't particularly like, but roughly the same number as before of the kind that we do like. As my phrasing implies, I broadly share the opinions about which ones I like. But logically this phenomenon itself should not be a concern. We can just buy the sets that we like. It should not really matter whether there are other sets that happen to bear the same theme name. This has happened in the past with Bionicle etc. Perhaps there are deeper suspicions that the kind of sets we like may be phased out on grounds that they are less profitable. To be honest that has always been a concern for me. Has it become more likely recently? I don't know. All we can really say is that it has still not happened yet.

    You are absolutely right. Thanks for writing all this. Having experienced the culture of large corporations from the inside, I think it's very unlikely that anyone in a position of power in TLG has ever even considered any of these points. When money is flowing, the human mind suppresses awkward questions.

    Very cool constructions! As usual, I find myself struggling to understand exactly what is going on here!
  12. aeh5040
    Very cool! I'm amazed at how well it steers. I'm curious how it would perform with rubber track inserts.
  13. aeh5040
    This is absolutely brilliant - I never thought of doing that!
  14. aeh5040
    Indeed. I am glad about this, mostly because the more recent molds of 20t double bevels (especially tan) had horrendous meshing problems, for reasons I never understood.
  15. aeh5040
    Cool thanks! It is my favourite set.
  16. aeh5040
    Looks very interesting!
