    He did specify 5 axle, so that would be a crane like 42108, or 42009, not 42082.

    I'd love to see some sort of backhoe, or tractor flagship, but non-RC. For the past 4 years, 3 had an RC flagship, and in one year the sub-flagship was also RC. I'd really like another fun to play with model like the arocs, and a backhoe, or tractor could lend itself very well to that.

    Just FYI, you can use the Brickcontroller app to control many different LEGO RC solutions with android and a Gamepad, including IR (if your phone has an IR blaster), BuWizz, SBrick, and the Powered Up hubs. I bought a BuWizz 2.0, and I much prefer using Brickcontroller to play with my models, as I can get that tactile feel from being able to use a controller.

    Well, the 2x BuWizz I ordered arrived today, they were the ones on sale with "cosmetic blemishes", but they seem to look brand new. I'm currently charging them, and then I hope to test them in my 9398 Crawler, and a small MOC I made.

    Dissapointed about this myself, as they said something around April-ish about publishing the API soon. My thoughts on if/when they do, is one could even do some sort of robot by controlling it with an EV3 brick.

    They are going to be coming out with a Buggy-like motor apparently sometime this October, if all goes well.

    I personally use AmazonBasics AA rechargable batteries (1.2v, rebranded Eneloops), and my solution to power is ordering a BuWizz, as I just don't want to be buying a bunch of disposable batteries.

    I have yet to do so, but have you tried checking Bricks and Pieces for the planetary hubs? It tends to have better price for new and/or rare pieces.

    I'll drink some [favoured drink, mine's Ginger Ale] to that!

    I don't really use Facebook either, I've just been checking BuWizz's page, as I've been waiting for a sale to buy some BuWizz, the currency exchange to Canadian Dollars is not very good, so even 15% off is a large difference, I can spend that saved money on more LEGO!

    There's an example on their Facebook page, ordered 2x for myself and a friend. Example pic

    In Canada it only just hit official channels, it's listed for $139 CAD on LEGO's website, but is currently out of stock.

    Glad to be able to help, Bricks & Pieces can be a good spot to get pieces sometimes, as prices on some parts can be better than Bricklink, so I'm sure to check it when buying parts, and this seemed like a good spot to share it, considering I was in the exact same situation.

    @CF 28 LEGO's Bricks and Pieces service Pneumatic Pump: Element # 6152131 Design # 26674
  15. Mantarri
    I would try hooking the pump right up to a cylinder, and testing it under pressure. The original pump for my 42043 ended up losing it's seal, which I initially fixed with some super glue over the spot where the air was coming out, but then it stopped working against, so I bought the new, redesigned version of the pump (it's about $5 CAD).

    Will do, thanks.

    @ZerobricksJust wanted to bump my question, just wondering if there will be a BuWizz Summer sale this year?

    Just wondering if there will be a summer sale on the BuWizz like last year?

    Generic Muscle Car ...And it's finished, now on to starting work on my TC18 entry. I'm not completely satisfied with the front grill area, or the sides of the roof. Features: V8 engine Steering via in-cabin steering wheel, or back HOG Opening doors, and storage compartment Fold-away chair to access the fire extinguisher Antenna for all your FM Radio needs! Some background on why the storage compartment is where the seat should be. I only have one of the panels I used for seating. Anyways, here are the pictures.

    Glad to see the 49.5s allowed as well, I think they'll fit my entry idea a bit better. And yes, it is a car (I believe, not really any sort of a car guy, so I could be wrong)...
  21. Mantarri
    Built up some bodywork, almost done, not completely happy with how it's turned out, but I'm going for a much different bodywork style for my actual TC18 entry, so there isn't much to learn from trying to get this type to look better. Pictures:

    Thought I'd create a thread to just post WIPs of my MOCs, or neat mechanisms. Finished: Generic Muscle Car

    That was apparently done quite a few years ago, but I'd personally find it very interesting. But I think M_Longer, or BrickByBrickTechnic would win by miles.
  25. Mantarri
    I think Erik had some good points, and since these contests would be different, and smaller/shorter, it would be interesting to try some contests that we wouldn't normally.
