    Did anyone notice the 3x2 beam with all pinholes on the front wishbones?. they are conneceted to a 1x2 cross block by a black pin 2L with bush.

    I think I get it now thanks

    Can someone clarify these "new" narrow tyres, I thought we alread got those for the london bus

    I think I'm getting somewhere, I decided to abandon linkages like in the link above because they take up space and because the stupid blades have the pin holes in a stupid orientation which makes it hard to mount especically if you wanna do variable pitch. I used some "exotic" parts to do this such as x1 50018a, x3 32138, 11010 , and x3 24014 . This way does not use pushing and pulling, but rather relies purley on rotation. I think I will have to replace the regular 12 too double bevel gear with a 20 tooth clutch gear and use clutch rings, so that the blade rotation is on the axle and the blade pitch is using the clutch rings I can replace the 32138 with cross blocks and then attach the blades with easy to remove 32054's sothat the blades can still fold up. That's all for today.

    Yes,

    In regards, to my old reply here on adding tilting blades like the real thing: My old idea worked, but it would also slide the parts around on the axle and it there was too much friction in several places. So I am working on a new way to do it, but getting it small like before is tricky. I tried sliding the wheel hub instead of the axle, but then it gets pulled to tilt the blades and pushed to flatten them instead of vice versa, and i'm not sure how to attach this to the housing of the pods too. There have been blade pitch mechanism done in the past but they are all too big. :/ I am considering using the fairly new 50018a minifig weapon with 3 bars, and adding frictionless pins to them, which will allow the connectinrs hoding the blades to pivot. I'll hopefully find a solution and post it here.

    It would be cool if you could choose to have x amount of gears stacked on one virtual axle then y amount of gears stacked on another virtual axle. The axles can be spaced as multiples of plates or multiples of half beams. But then you have to start handling gear combinations that will jam up. But at least that will teach people about simple and compound gear trains, ratios, and if they will jam or not. Example: On axle A I could have a 12 tooth gear On axle B I could have a 20 tooth gear then a 12 tooth gear On axle C I could have a 20 tooth gear. The axles are spaced 1L apart. I could also however have them on 4 axles all in series rather than as a compound gear train.

    Honestly, there usually is not a day that goes by where I need a proper 1x1 liftam thin, if such a part existed I would be a happy man because I could have more part combinations on a 3L pin (for example) without having to replace the pin with a3L axle and using s half bush, or using a 3L pin with a minifig utensil ring, which only works if theres also a stop on pin or axle because the stop + 1 plate thick minifig utensil ring = 0.5L.

    huh

    Nice solution. Did you know that a differential can do this too? it allows a manual dial on one axle and a motor on another axle to drive some function, but the dial does not move the motor and the motor does not move the dial. The L axle in the diff is input 1, R axle is output and then the axle driving the differentials case is input 2. The lambo paddle shifter works in the same way too, but it does not use a differential. you can move the two knob wheels that are on a 3L axle and it will change gear but the paddles will remain stationary.

    fantastic, I think this will win

    5x5 sprocket is light bluish gray in this set: source - lego con, jun 26 2021

    Sure. its a solid axle which can fit into a pin hole and the bar ends fit into barholes/axle holes.
  14. SNIPE
    May I suggest one of these, per axis: You can add a motor in place of the black connector too as long as you dont let too much weight bend or snap the helical axle. The motor and bar ends will provide some saftey protation but you can always add your own using the typical methods. with a helical axle, depending on if you lock the rotation you can achive the following: The carrage does not rotate, but only moves left or right The carrage does not move left or right but only rotates The carrage rotates and moves left or right. You can use clutch gear and clutch ring to lock the rotation. Regards, Snipe

    source?

    I think the white axle pin is not a new part and just has a bad digital image on rebrickable. so it is still semi-frictioned and just a white variant of pin with 2L axle. Ima stop replying now because this gets more confusing every time I do.

    ohh so a ripcord , thats weird
  18. SNIPE
    The bikes are, the trucks probs are not.

    I wonder if they can be used as car body panels on technic MOCS , they're kinda bulky though with all those anti studs underneath.

    Here is the full list for may/june (so far) : https://www.newelementary.com/2021/06/new-lego-parts-june-2021.html I also saw an orange lego system ramp that people might use with technic pullbacks. at least it has no bottom lip and is actually concaved, and not some flimsy piece of cardboard, But I can't post pictures yet I think because it appears in about 2 upcoming sets

    Alternating beams are smooth on two sides and indented on the other two so its abyones guess regarding the one under the door.
  22. SNIPE
    so: steering driving (duh) side outriggers axle lift rear outriggers wheel grabber turntable boom elevation boom extension hook 1 elevation hook 2 elevation --wishful thinking:-- differentials moving piston engine opening hood opening cabin doors tilting cab suspended axle with/without shock absorbers So all in all a revolution in terms of functions!

    this is ok but I already tried something very simular as well as replacing those black connectors with large linear actuator brackets, unfortunately the black connectors have to much play in them, I replaced the half bushes with 2L thin beams and added axle pins but still the problem persisted. Note to all - I do happnen to have enough of the fairly new 15L alternating hole beams. as long as there is only 2 of them per ring.
  24. SNIPE
    This is a cool way to do it I'll certainly give it a try, the only connection point I need is something to attach a large turntable in the center of each end of the entire drum. I am not using the teeth and the connectors sticking out slightly is probably fine,
  25. SNIPE
    *yey* this could work, but ill flip 4 of the beams the other way so that I can add a ring.on both sides of your design.
