    I'm working on trying to have the blade themselves also pivot as well as the engine assemblies still being able to rotate and spin the blades. It's hard though :/, heres the idea: I have a swashplate and 3 ball shaped parts with a bar which goes to a bunch of tiny levers which does to the blades pinholes.The miniturntable is to the regular function can still be there. I think the black end cap will just move with the blades rotation because getting that to stay put yet having rotating blades is a nightmare!. Regards, Snipe

    Oh nice! the bionicle part is actually better.

    Here's some tricks you can do with part 32249 to get advanced connections or for other things: https://bricksafe.com/pages/snipe/tricks examples: (sorry for bad image quality) Regards, Snipe.

    Thanks. Great set

    I belive there is a duplo tyre with the same tread pattern that fits over any round 4x4 brick/rim. but anyhow, nice model.

    I did but its limited to 90 degrees using that purple wire clip? if one motor is for switching the 4 speeds and one is for the tipper and one is for the steering, how is it tipping remotley :O
  9. SNIPE
    Am I right in thinking the gearbox switches between drive and the tipper. The speed selector is just done in software and changes the motor speed. But then again wouldn't the tipper have different speeds then? unlesa the app is sensing the gearbox motor rotation as being in 'dumping mode' and only has one speed for that.

    This, my friend is a proper technic set.

    Excellant

    There is also this part: which has a really weird height, its like 1mm less than two plates but has a clutch and two semi hollow studs: it is a subpart of part 73037 Theres also 28947 and 42446. oh yeah you can also put a stud in either side of say a 5L thin liftarm pinholes. Regards, Snipe.

    Good to see 4 function levers unlike the 42066 lego air race jet with one small motor and no bluetooth/IR and only two function levers. I do wanna add shock absorbers like on the heavy lift helicopter to the wheels but also with springs over the axles as well as powered up/night mode LEDS and a cargo door + winch and hook on the bottom of the model, again like the heavy lift helicopter. Also it would be nice to be able to rotate the blade angle as well as the whole assembly but that will be tricky to do in such a small space. I could just put a powered up hub inside of it along side the new control+ battery box. if theres enough space after all the other MODs, if not ill reluctantly have to use power functions switches, motors and a buwizz or two. I know that a buwizz/powered up hub is wireless only but I dont think I will find it easy or cheap to fit a second dumb battery box in as well as the levers, we will see. Regards, Snipe

    Cool model in such a short period of time, I could never do this!. The enzo does indeed have an air brake but not many people know it so im glad its in this MOC. It does not raise, only tilts so it's not a spoiler or wing technically, just an air brake. It also has a nose lift for speed bumps but heh. Can you show a picture of the left over parts from the set?

    I actually needed something like this for wider piping, and both curved and straight when I was making the entire GTA V humane labs in LDCAD including the hidden interiors and the tunnel etc. because the usual technic curved pipes and pin jointers are too narrow for such a scale of building.. also one thing I forgot to add on: 49283 spike prime wire clip in Dark Turquoise (x? in 51515) 18945 Panel Plate 5 x 11 x 1 Tapered in Dark Bluish Gray (x2 in 42113) 18945 Panel Plate 5 x 11 x 1 Tapered in Orange (x2 in 42113) 18944 Panel Curved 3 x 13 in Dark Bluish Gray (x1 in 42113) 65422 Rotor Blade 3 x 19 with 3 Holes in Black (x6 in 42113)

    heres a new part I saw in the uocoming trolls world tour set: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=65473 there will also be other angles of this part as seen on the box art: Those trans light blue slide pieces are in a friends set too and are super adjustable so good for GBC or maybe like a tube shaped race track.

    Here we go again, more badly redesigned parts: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=66906#T=C&C=11 Now we cant put any sort of 3mm bar inside of it..

    I have had one crack on me but it was my fault because I put an axle in it and yanked it too much
  20. SNIPE
    like 10 years ago I made agearbox that had 4 speeds but had a white clutch gear for when the two clutch rings were both engaged for the extra 4 gears. The idea was to have two conditional ratios on the input shaft, before you even got to the internal gears, one was just teh clutch gears teeth + an 8 tooth gear and the other was some other pair of gears connected to the white clutch gears gray output. The white part would jam when any of the extra 4 speeds were engaged but the axle hole still worked. However the clutch gear kinda acts like an 8 position stpepper which was no good and it puts a load of strain on the motor so the idea was scrapped but the whole thing fitted into a 3x3x11 space (excluding the two changeover catches)!. Perhaps we could just use a 4L differential since I always like having a center differential in all of my MOCS/MODS anyhow The 4L differential can act as an OR gate. Regarding the high friction concern, I have rarley broken lego parts in my life so I prefer to move my ideas away from a digital model as fast as possible.
  21. SNIPE
    Here you can see the OR gate in both positions: yellow is the outputs the middle two gears are the gate itself and the bent liftarm is the limiter. the dark gray pin is the input. In the helicopter set theres only one output so yes its acting like a saftey clutch/ne way clutch. here we have two outputs. hope this helps. I think akiyukis catch 'n' spin robots use or gates. theres also this which uses a worm gear as the gate instead of a centeral16 tooth gear

    They have not long done this little monstrocity as well: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=189220#T=C&C=11 Now we cant put a bar through the pin since this mould does not have the round hole in the pin like most frictionless pings have. Get a grip LEGO.
  23. SNIPE
    if I understand correctly: if you go from L L to L N then the OR gate would switch outputs. The or gate does not have to use all 16 tooth gears, it must step the final ratio up in order for the 4 speeds to not be repeated again. The OR gate only is in the output B when the 4 'combined' speeds are engaged, Else the OR gate uses output A. The or gate itself does not use a clutch ring. just a friction pin and gears on a lever with a 90 degree rotational limit I think the best way to get the selector rings to work is by using linkages and the clutch patterns should be ''
  24. SNIPE
    Thats right :D, Thanks!
  25. SNIPE
    Hi, I have had an idea for a while to take a dual clutch ring 4 speed gearbox but use all 8 possible clutch positions along with a mechanical OR gate to get 8 speeds instead of the extra 4 "combined speeds" jamming the gears. the OR gate would reroute the output back into the input but while actually gearing up/down to get an additional 4 unique ratios. (we don't wanna have duplicate ratios obviously) Such a mechanism was used in set 9396 but in my case it swings between two possible gears and when the torque gets too high (i.e when the gears would normally jam) You could also use a differential as an OR gate but its kinda big and not as flexable. So really this setup is equivelant to the 42083 gearbox in that it is a 4 speed gearbox with two modes (4 * 2 = 8 speeds) The difference is, this is much more compact since it only uses 2 clutch rings not 4 and fewer gears. Does anyone have any insight on how to actually build this as I can't seem to crack it. Maybe @TechnicBrickPower can help since he has already made several cool and new gearbox ideas but any help is appriciated!. Regards, Snipe
