I mean there's no motor, it gets moved by hand not by a motor. I suppose I could use springs after all and find another way of braking the wheels

Hi, What would the best mechanism be to have rollers that wrap around tubing that can be up to (lets say, 1 inch squared) it can be square or round in cross-section. Since I'm not sure what the diameter will be yet until it arrives, I will make the mechanism adjustable, but also the bottom tubing is round i cross section and narrower than the top tubing, which is square in cross section. Here is how the layout will be anyhow, c stands for carriage: I made a simple lever and linear actuator mechanism but forgot to have just a single wheel then a beam on both sides. Since the carriages are heavy and hang off the sides of the tubes I'm not sure if just these rollers will work, I think I need rollers for 2 or 3 sides of each tube. I could also have something like this: But instead claw panels its rollers and instead of actuators I could have worm gears, but that would imply its a central worm gear/actuator that drives all 4 claws, but the tubing will be in the way there, so you would need 4 worm gears/actuators on each corner of the tube - over-complicated. This would be WAY easier if LEGO made springs that expand instead of compress, rubber bands are too unreliable. Here is a real 4 sided roller around some square tubing, these use 2 rollers per side which I probably don't need:

Oops. eurobricks is glitching a bit at the minute, I only wanted to send the bottom quote and reply

You mean these? Oh yeah, I remember now

I don't think so, the rear wheels are the medium size, and the front tires are a new type I think

Good to see, thx Do you have 42242? or the parts to make a front axle? if so, how does this new rim fit? If not, its fine, LDRAW will release the file for it shortly

This could be good for mocs where even a buwizz 2 or 3 doesn't fit

Try a 4L axle with stop and an extra half bush - or 2L thin beams instead of half bushes failing that - try a 49137

I finished building this yesterday and one thing I want to add, is the lever mechanism that uses the double bent beam, but on both sides of the frunk, because the frunk sags on one side otherwise, shouldn't be hard just to mirror the same assembly, there should be space for it along the sidepods/foot-wells.

Hi, When I make a long thread or reply I often don't have all the pieces together yet, so I do as much of it as I can, however I just have to kind of pray that the thread of reply wont disappear because I have not clicked "post" yet, since I need to gather other pieces of it first. A way to make this no loner be a problem would to be able to save posts as a draft, I'm sure we used to have this option before several server upgrades but I can;t seem to find an option for that at the minute This is probably a big ask,unless the code to do it is there, just not the button in the forum Regards, Snipe

One thing that should be mentioned is using a mini-fig utensil ring as a 1x1 thin beam, along with pins and axles If you combine this ring with the stops on axles and pins you basically now have 0.5L rather than 1P. You might also want to use LUN (Lego Unit Notation) which is: L = length P = plate (or 0.5S or 8 LDU B = brick (or 3 plates or 24 LDU) S = slab (or 2 plates) LDU = LDRAW units You can use studs.sariel.net to include a conversion chart perhaps, anyhow. I have a ton of stuff I would like to see, but I don't wanna overwhelm you, so I just mentioned this for now. EDIT: Oh also we now have a 3L technic brick with 3 pinholes (5565.dat) and a double bent technic brick rather than the corner technic brick (7469) Gear combinations by using 0.5L spacing(s) would also be cool. the old 12 tooth double bevel gears required something like half bushes in-between something like 32184) but the new 12 tooth spur gears work fine with any method of half spacing, since the teeth are a hair shorter. EDIT 2: I just figured out that the old technic 1x1 handle (6221) fits into the newer 2L drive ring and the 3L drive ring The 3L requires more force to put it in, but on both it does not simply fall out at least. I needed this solution for my continuation of Gamayun's work on the v6 ultimate 42110 land rover, so that I could use the new CV joint and wheel hubs from the koenigsegg sadir's spear set.

The new 21067 Tower Bridge set has a 3L axle joiner smooth in azure

this ferrari 488.pista also has 2 new recolors, a #2 connector in dark blue, and a 3L axle with end pinhole in red

I don't understand? 49249 is a lilo and stitch set

Finally a new LEGO book! I have the other Lego technic books from sariel but we really needed an in depth update that takes new parts and techniques into account

Great work, perhaps this can be the basis for a more compact 9 speed transmission for the 42232 koenigsegg set!

I got my PAB order yesterday, an am still designing it, the problem, as you probably were saying was trying to to a stud reversal but while still trying to have a trans-clear center with trans0red on the outside. I'm now on bag 24 of the set also. I will start designing a black chassis tonight or tomorrow however

light green oinhole with axle 1L on opposite sides: unless its just bright green (aka 'green' aka green)?

Indeed, I just finished bag 22. I look forward to your mods 😊

Welcome back!! Yes, I would love to see more sets and general info on technicopedia, I still use it even in 2026 - for example Im making a spreadsheet of the best year, best set for technic, I already know its 2019 but I wanna rank 2007 - present. stuff like new parts, new recolors, complex sets, num sets are important factors in the rankings

I'm onto bag 17 and have ordered more trans red 1x2 curved slopes to have trans red tail lights. The inverted 1x2 curved slope does not come in trans red so I'll have to use the non inverted but upside down

here is a more complete model

Lol, I also keep accidentally calling it a clutch gear / stepper gear instead of a ratchet gear

Awesome, it works now 👍

I see it now, cool It works, but I have to select the theme every time I use euro bricks, my cookies are not saving my theme choice idk if they were meant to or not Regards, Snipe
