here's what I meant: you can get the part for LDraw here

Anyone have instructions yet? I cant find them online, maybe CADA has not made them yet There is an improvment PDF file from bruno here: https://bricksafe.com/files/brunojj1/amg-one/C61503W-Additional Sheets.pdf

Why not just make the lever itself click rather than the clutch and inner sleeve, if youre using some sort of rotary changeover catch then you pretty much don't need the click anyhow.

nope but it looks like it could have some structural uses since it's 1.5L rather than 2L like the macaroni piece

Part 3968 would be useful in black because its a different shape to the usual technic macaroni connector.

The new 6L worm gear has some nice usability: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SH__ilHifW4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUp53RUdfTM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8i4HeDm1zY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4B3TS2KSbI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2AFM4Pg4j4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sh2DaH5h38U I wonder if two of them can act as helical gears but where they are parralel not perpendicular.

haha thanks

Current implementation to steer the fully motorized and linear actuated 42157, there wasn't enough torque to directly drive the light gray half of the turntables, and clamping a motor with a gear onto the black halves of the turn tables wouldnt be strong enough strong, and there still wont be enough torque, so this is my solution (except I think i'll use part 77107 with some rubber tires instead of these small quarter round banana gears. (But 77107 is still in the mail)). I didn't turn the motor on because it is not in stepper mode and it moves with so much force that it will probably damage something. When I get my smart hub set up ill program the motor to act as a stepper. So the green 1x3x19 girders go inbetween the two rings and this also leaves room for the little seat rotation motor (isn't it cute!) The motors contain rollers which 'clamp' onto the rings. The digital image is closer to the final version. I also properly attached the 2 medium angular motors so that they are not just bodged on and at a diagonal exis.,They *JUST* manage to clear the cabin wihen it steers The differential for the front was put in but I needed to borrow it again for another project Once the parts come I'll hopefully be able to have more of a complete model again, with 4 wheels :D Regards, SNIPE

WOW what a find!. I can't wait to use this... you can now use these parts in 3 ways, one would be to drive the threaded brick left and right, the other would be to rotate the threaded brick on the axis, and the third way would be to drive another one of these worm gears but in helical fashion. Heck you could even slide or rotate the entire assembly containing the worm gear and nut and chasis as one unit. So this is going to work wonderes when I make my LEGO printer because you can do logic using the above methods in hardware but also program the motors in software.

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to inject LDRAW script directly into a new LDCAD session (aka where there is no file created yet) I know that you can copy and paste LDRAW script directly into an LDCAD window and it creates the digital assembly if the script is valid. Ideally I would like to be able to click on a link in excel which contains a macro or a batch script which injects a corresponding chunk of LDRAW script into LDCAD. And hopefully skip past the ldcads inro dialog box where it asks the user if you want to open a recent file/file from disk, or create a new file. Maybe @roland can shed some insight into this? LD view is another option but I would prefer LDCAD. The idea is that it would save me from creating thousands of files per chunk of ldraw script. I tried doing in CMD: echo 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 2024.dat | LDCad.exe but nothing happned and when I did echo 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 2024.dat > LDCad.exe it seems to have corrupted ldcad.exe so I gotta download it again (I get 'this app cant run on your PC') Regards, Snipe

Friends city park cafe! This set is a day1 buy for me, I didnt get the BMW cause well, its new parts were mostly specialized, but since this has new parts that I can use in many different MOCS.... yeah - gonna be an expensive year for me. Thanks @R0Sch for posting the video review.

I'm so excited that I smashed through a brick wall.

I created an axle unit with the large shocks, the Daytona differential, and steering by basically superimposing the front and rear axles of the 42143 Daytona into one unit. How does the adjustable suspension work? it says there is adjustable suspension in the Rebrickable description but I don't see any video footage of it. I can't wait to use that super compact flappy paddle gearbox. Anyway great model there, It's everything I, and probably any other serious technic MOC-er hopes to see on a daily basis

The problem is that STUDIO is an absolute mammoth on your computers resources. I think task manager can allocate more threads but im not sure about ram. Paging and VAS is another concern.

As Walter White said, it can be done exactually in a certain way, the only question is, are you the person to do it. Since you did the CAT bulldozer PF mod I say - YES. I thought the long things were just XXL linear actuators despite the fact that they looked like the large shock absorbers rom the BMW superbike, But apparently these are indeed shock absorbers upon closer inspection, so, what purpose do they have?

If this has been pushed to OCTOBER then the lego group can kiss my behind goodbye as a loyal customer of 32 years, they probably wouldn't even care about that!

update III, using ths real set now and it is a BEAST with 8 motors in the front half alone! (one of them I don't have yet but its the spike prime small angular motor) it drives a blue clutch gear which drives a 12 tooth idler gear with side axle, this is used to rotate the seat. the motor will go behind the turntable and steering motor. Originally it was the other way round, the steering motor was driving the turntable teeth and the small angular motor was sandwiched between the turntables, but it would be impossible for one of those motors to drive 7 other motors and 6 linear actuators + more parts AND also cargo in the grabber without skipping the teeth or just stalling due to inadequate torque. I also moved the drive axle up and forwards to allow the steering axle to face the opposite way and free up a bit of space, though I think I need to flip the rotation and use a tiny slither of space to place the two drive gears, since these daytona gears cant just mesh with normal gears 😡. Also the top most 16 tooth gear is getting in the way of the rigid hoses in fhe front "rock guard" so i'll need to change something anyway. I also ran into a snag with the robot iventor medium angular motors not letting it steer due to being right up against ghe sides of the cabin bodywork so I bodged it in at a slight diagonal so that it wouldn't rub against the tires. I still want to cover the robot inventor motors up with green tiles. here's some photos: and here are larger images: https://bricksafe.com/pages/snipe/42157-mod

The Lego Group can F off with pneumatics Does this look like a quality expeirience/product to you!? My hands are killing, and i'm stressed out at these STUPID T junctions.

Update 2.5: I decided to build a second copy to use beside my black replica (I used black because it was the closest match with the parts I currently have, for example the 3x19 girders only came in black until June 1st) I managed to get 4 of the actuators in, but had to rebuild it due to the inner two actuators needing to be moved 1L forwards compared to the original model because they could not pivot enough. This also seemed to fix a problem where the actuators wobble like crazy. I originally thought about using C+ M motors for the outer actuators but this was very problematic even in LDCAD so I have for now tried out a pair of robot inventor angular motors which unfortunately stick out a lot but the cabin needs space too 😐. My actual 42157 set should arrive tomorrow so I can at least use the new parts as well as the new green recolors and use the Daytona differentials (though I will need to add a pair of gears behind the front dozer blade thing to hook the weird Daytona gears up to the centre motor) I will use a spike prime small angular motor placed in between the two turntables to have seat rotation and the rear axle + engine will have a C+ M motor of its own for drive which gets rid of the drive shaft to save a bit of space. rear blade will be driven by 1 C+ M motor and steering will probably use a C large angular motor from my 42114 set. The claws will be driven by a pair of opposed linear actuators and a C+ M motor that's near the engine (plenty of space inside the back of the model), I actually built a mechanism for it but since space is limited I had to get clever, but it rotated one actuator in the wrong orientation 😢 I have some LEDS ill put in too and need to buy two BuWizz 3.0's, and the final mod version will be green and yellow of course. More info on my youtube and bricksafe Regards, Snipe

Lots of very exciting new parts/recolors https://www.newelementary.com/2023/06/what-are-new-lego-parts-for-june-2023.html

Well, that SUCKS.

I wonder if this set has two differentials

The old mould of them was very hard to insert, but at least it was hard for the two parts so accidentally separate The newer mould of the same part is a little easier to insert. I usually put a axle through the pinhole in order to use it as a handle to pull this part out

Wait are these not just the 1989 UCS bat-mobile tyres?
