    16 tooth was just an example, you could also do 12 + 20 or 24 + 8 or 20 + 12 or 8 +24. in that case, one of the orange pieces will move faster and engage the clutch ring (therefore before) the other orange piece. it's just a way to drive both of the orange pieces at independant or synchronized speeds, useful for say, an automatic gearbox You could also have the orange pieces spaced further apart and add spur gears inbetween in order to transfer the drive from one to the other, but 3L is more compact ;) I recon these orange pieces can actually drive 4 clutch rings placed in a + shape.and you can always offset a clutch slightly with half bushes/system pieces if it is triggering slightly too early or jamming. Perhaps the new orange pieces also have clutch teeth in them like a red 16 tooth idler. edit: just realized i'm off topic

    I wonder if we can arrange these new orange pieces as if they were two, meshed,16 tooth gears. they would be synchronized by two 16 tooth gears if they cant directly mesh against each other which is quite useful.

    Buwiz, because it is both a battery box, and a reciever as well as a port replicator (i.e not just one port) and I think it has servo control too. therefore it is much more compact than normal PF or sbrick which is what technic needs in order to make more advanced creations.

    Maybe the boom can rotate independantly of the superstructure which can also rotate. i.e have a large turntable inside of the cuved gear strips just like the 42055 bucket wheel excavator. Maybe, on the other hand, the superstructure is too cramped for this to be a function.

    The main reason is because it makes the steering pivot point more realistic so there you can turn more tightly. its also more compact if the HOG knob is on the roof of the vehicle because then the HOG axle is on the same axis.

    I just noticed that the superstructure uses the curved gear strings from the 42055 but in black.

    Just a heads up, a 20T gear will still actually mesh with the 3L differential if the 20T gear is moved down by 1L. , IIRC This is how real car diffs are too.

    hi, I think I accidentally found something new but kinda useless, I was using the hinge tool and noticed that a universal joint 3L became seperated. I'm not sure if this was already possible, maybe this is one for the LDD tricks thread athough theres nothing much you can do with half of a UV joint I can't seem to renember how I did it but I'm sure somebody will figure it out. Regards, Snipe

    Hi, This thread is asking about the feasibility of having an NXT controlled machine built from technic, which can be programmed to actualy build lego technic mocs itself. I will need to collaborativley design it due to several reasons. I have a lot of technic so that's not so much a problem. The NXT(s) will be controlled via a PC. This has a veriety of benefits, to name a few: MOCs, modules, or sets can be reproduced automatically. Building can be done by the machine, whilst designing another part of your MOC. New building techniques can be found by telling the machine to try and put random bricks together and then we'll see what comes out. The limits of how complex/compact MOCS can be, can be pushed towards or met by using algorithms to calculate the best layout of parts, and by collaborativley building the machine itself! + Many more I know that this machine will be absolutley massive but that's cool with me, I have space for it. Some problems that will need to be solved are things such as accuratley positioning and pushing in pins, axles, and connectors.Maybe pnumatics will have enough force to do that, and using daisy chained worm gear drives can make it slow enough to be accurate in the positioning of parts. Perhaps to get the ball rolling we could just make a machine which positions a pin inline with a pinhole. What do you guys think?.

    Hi, When I am using LDCAD and want to make impossible connections by overlapping parts, the color keeps flickering when I move the viewing angle/pan. for example I might want to make custom bricks by combining, i.e overlapping two existing bricks. Is there a way to fix that? Regards, Snipe
  12. SNIPE
    Maybe there will be space however I cannot seem to picture it, there is a LOT of mechanisms in the car I'm trying to see what the limit of lego technic is (relative to the model size). I know that sheepo's porche 911 turbo cabriolet is very advanced but it uses old parts and some connections may be a bit odd (i.e weak). I'll try having the gear lever flipped to the correct position soon.

    I have sort of done that in the last image shown however I can only seem to get two speeds, adding anymore jams it.

    Hi, I am busy building a 4 speed gearbox but need toflip the gear lever to fill an empty space which meant splitting the output axles into two as shown here: The top image is how it would normally be designed without the split axles, and the bottom is the flipped design. However, I canot get it the blue output to spin at 4 different speeds. Maybe somebody knows how to do it? I managed to get close to what I need with this: Any ideas would be much appriciated. Note that it is fine to space the gearbox housing further apart if needed. as long as it is still the 2x2 axle layout
  15. SNIPE
    hmm Here is a cutaway of how I built it in LDD (I have also copied this to a real model)
  16. SNIPE
    Also the liftarm 15L on page 1, step 5 jams the same 24 tooth gear. I'm not sure what the best fix is since I've not built the entire model yet. Regards, Snipe
  17. SNIPE
    Slight error in the PDF on page 5 step 6, the grey 5x7x1 frame should be flipped upside down to allow the 24 tooth gear to not rub against the frame. I'm busy building it and will update on other errors I find if any.. Regards, Snipe

    Thanks, This is much better

    Hi, I have built a compact RC gearbox which is driven by 1 motor, it is both a 4 speed transmission and a function selector. It uses 3L clutches as well as the clutch extention rings, However when I put the extensions in the whole gearbox housing is warped because the extention rings slightly too long in how they are designed. This puts strain on what is already a lot of gears. So, Is there a way to fix this? the olod 2L clutches are not great to be honest. Here are the pictures: https://drive.google.com/open?id=10ZG5dHOellJ4KcpPEubo17XM9Bvv-AeG

    Simply Brilliant . I might have a crack at a C model using only the parts and spare parts that came with a given set. But then again, I have around 2000 MOCS to finish :/ also

    There is just a set of bevel gears which invert the rotation one one half of the steering shaft. The bevel gears are inbetween a clutch and clutch gears. I'll add photos of this soon. Here is my second update, I think using wheel axles made out of motors is a good move because: It is super strong and compact since the 3 motors are crammed together. It allows for much more torque and less axle stress on the steering and the drive. It allows for both the same three steeirng modes as what the class xeron tractor has, as well as the ability ti just use rear wheel steering AND lao to have skid steering. It takes up less parts and space than the stock axle so I can have bigger/doubled up shock absorbers.and more suspention travel. here is the first prototype: there will be another one of these fpr the front unit controlled by 1 or 2 buwizz's

    hi all, I finally got round to modding the set in real life so that it has 4 track steering and soft shocks all round. I basically just copied the entire front unit again and put it where the rear unit would go. I ran out of yellow cross blocks and DBG 3x5 liftarms thin so just used alternate colors. I decided to remove the red 4L centre diff from my original mod idea mainly because it it means there is reduced torque and one wheel already stalls if there is even the slightesy amout of friction. I did manage to bodge a steering mode selector like in the claas xerion tractor as well as the wishbones attached to the exaust pipes. The rear tracks might catch against the bodywork but it is too flimsy to properly text yet. (hence the bodge job). I later want to motorise the drive, steering, whinch, doors, and roof later on. I might just put a motor per track like efferman did. Regards, snipe

    Hi, I noticed that the 8479 bar-code truck set has two slots for an old 9v motor, one on either side of the truck. What would the purpose of this be? can one motor be used for one drive and the other for the grabber/tipper? That would be cool functionality, especially for a set this old. The motors would just connect to the codepilot itself. There is no reference that you can add two motors according to the instruction manual from what I have seen (unless I missed something) It looks like there is a 24T gear right where the motors 8T gear would be so its like lego intended it to have two motors.

    WOOO I am stoked.

    Another three copycats found when I was trying to find new 2018 lego technic videos: I'm closing my accounts if youtube dont start using real moderation. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ1v2xW38yl72yaPdYm9EhA https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyXhuuFluNTmJBV5tNoYX5Q https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYim-1RCIxx1uflq1PKYHhw
