  1. Yes that i'm quite aware of. All gears have axial play in any direction, i can rotate any gear very lightly. I guess if that wasn't the case, gears 1,3 and 4 wouldn't run as smoothly as they do. [EDIT:] what baffles me the most is that 2nd gear has a 1:1 gear ratio between motor and differantial input. So there shouldn'd be any torque differences between input and output Also, the 3rd Gear has quite a comparable "gear path" but doesn't have any problems
  2. i hope this is the right thread, i really need your help. I'm on my way to loose my mind: My 2nd gear works only in one direction, here two videos: problem: working: trying to turn it by hand (in 2nd gear) i noticed the following: in the left line of 16 tooth gears (see picture below) only the downmost gear is turnable with suitable torque. any gear above it produces a vastly higher resistance. i can't wrap my head around this problem, does anyone have an idea what i've done wrong? [EDIT:] i hope this is the right thread, please tell me if i'm wrong
  3. Oh no, that is such an awesome project! Do you see yourself returning to this moc sometime?
  4. @Y0uh0u: I asked about your programming language because you hadn't mentioned it before and bricxCC is capable of several different languages. Now this question is settled [Off-Topic (sorry)]: John Hansen, the NQC-tutorial from you and Mark Overmars got me into programming. Thank you very, very much! Because of this i had never problems in any programming courses and was a research assistant in a simulated material science project. [/OT]
  5. I have to admit, that was a long time ago. I wrote my NQC-Code in a text-editor and made all the compiling and transfering via the command line (on linux) [EDIT] I just found this: http://pbrick.info/rcx-firmware/ Have you tried the standard LEGO firmware version 3.32?
  6. What an awesome model. Unfortunately i was still in my Duplo age at the time of this model reminds me of this studless 8880
  7. I just looked at the page of bricxCC. This seems to be quite a potent programming environment. In which programming language did you write your Code? Xtreme Builder might be right, i'd be surprised if the IR-Tower is still natively supported under Win 10.
  8. I'm a newbie, so forgive me if i'm wrong, but: Might the akiyuki GBCs be HoF-worthy? They fit the "Could this be sitting on Blakbirds shelf?!" criterium quite well, The only thing missing is the topic from the builder himself, at least there's The Akiyuki Project
  9. Awesome video, thanks for making and sharing it It was cool seeing the Technic of the Planes Have you gotten your luggage back?
  10. Do you have the correct operating System/Firmware installed on the RCX, one that's able to interpret your bricxCC code? I don't know bricxCC but used NQC back in the day and remember this step being important.
  11. It seems we may get a review from The Grand Tour. Look at the Table behind the Hamster:
  12. This Moc is simply fantastic. I really enjoy the technic-spaceship look.
  13. Nice build! i personally wouldn't build with third party, perfomant Motors and ESC. For me that's not my purpose of building with LEGO. Can you post pictures of destroyed or heavily used parts?
  14. I wanted to buy it from a Porsche selection Shop and this morning i got a call that they may get it next week Has any reviewer tested whether the gearbox works better with the old new white driving ring connectors? with their defined positions they might better lock the gears in place.
  15. if it wasn't so deeply buried inside of the model it might be an idea to check whether the standard white driving ring connector might help without needing too much force. The defined grooves might ensure the right function of the gear-engage.
  16. Here's what i mean with the knob wheels: with the new red driving ring connector (?) the gears might not be correctly (dis-) engaged and two gears engaged at the same time cause a lock-up. Concerning the rubber bands: I thought this might look a little better, no technical reason
  17. Jim, could you test whether the flappy pedals work with only one rubber band on each? (sorry for the double-post, but at this frequency of replies i fear to disappear )
  18. What a gorgeous review. Some pictures look like renderings! Concerning the gear-changing-mechanism: in your video the yellow knob wheels start perfectly horizontaly or in a 45° angle. But during the gear change this is not the case. Might this cause a problem?
  19. Thanks for the review. i enjoyed reading it Concerning the rear suspension of the A-model: have you tried to move the connection point of the spring one stud outwards? While limiting the travel more, this should make the suspension softer because of the bigger lever.
  20. There is a video about the packaging on their facebook-site: https://www.facebook.com/LEGOTechnic/videos/221136988272391/
  21. Has anyone figured out what's the meaning of the 18 in the upper right corner of the box?
  22. At least i can attest for myself that since i've got to know technicopedia i'm using it excessively. And that was at the beginning of this month. I don't think it was just me, but maybe the site somehow got more popularity in the recent time?
  23. There has been a snow groomer as medium sized model: 8263 It's a great model, got me through my statistics exam
  24. the starting points and turn direction influence the graph also dramaticaly. so there would be a whole lot more than 49 patterns.
