    Hi, So I decided to use the space left over space from the original model to fit some motors and a battery box in. I replaced the drivers bag with the battery box then plugged an XL motor into the bottom and plugged a servo motor into the bottom too to steer the wheels. I have yet to link the other side of the steering motor to the steering wheel but so far it looks pretty good!. Here are the photos. I tried to make the mod as less invasive as possible so there are about 57 parts left over that will just go in my parts bins. Here are the results so far: I put the bag inbetween the two seats by using the two spare holes on the back end of the rear 3x11 black panel.

    different to say a lego 4884 way of doing it, or just putting the spring directly on the side of the top and bottom wishbonesinstead of putting the top of the spring on a seperate chassis.

    Yes it's the same but I've never seen it done quite like this before.

    I just finished box 1 and I think this is the best technic set ever!. The new hubs and wheels are great and the gear shifter mechanism is ingenuius. The suspention is also intersting and gearbox. not to mention everything else it can do.I think that they have added as many features as they could, cause lego designers have to consider many things in designing a product. They priced it at £250.00 here, which is a little high but there was only one on the shelf in my kego store. The arocs had slighly more parts and was £200.

    Try this but without the mods, in order to seperate to get the body off of the chassis. check here too:

    Well, don't say I didn't warn you's! (if this really is delayed).

    Didn't the 42000 rims have the 6 holes or am I getting confused.
  8. SNIPE
    That is a unimog rim with a 42000 tire on it.

    I wonder if those new gearshift parts can be put right next to an 8/24 tooth gear, as an axle joiner without it catching on the teeth, if the gear is placed at the centre of the gearshift piece. Would be useful for very specicalized scenarios, for example, you need a 13 lengh axle but they dont exist so you must connect two 6L axles with this part, having 1L between the two 6L's, AND you also happen to need an 8 or 24 tooth gear beside it too (6+6+1=13L)

    I'm not sure if that was sarcasm That won't quite work, cause of the time zones and jim is in the same country as where the TLG HQ is. so if TLC found out they could just stop supporting this forum and doing other stuff which is bad. if everybody had everything when ever they wanted it there would be no fun, cause that would wear off.

    Ok, a 1x1 liftarem is too thick so just push the black parts into each side of the drive ring until they stop, there is just enough room for the drive ring ti mesh with the idler gears. Here is a mockup of what I had in mind, though you'll have to make it into a useful geartrain, this doesn't really 'do' anything how it is inn the pictures. More Pictures here Or you could just wait 2 days for the set to come out :)

    No need to break the notches off the 3L driving ring, just push a 1x1 lifftarm into each end of the driving ring, works just fine unless im missing something.

    I have just realized that it uses two of these in black for the end of the first half of the boom arm. I was under the impression that this part was retired.

    wow the entire eurobricks footprint including all PM's, topics, attachements,user profiles, etc is only at most 4 x 240gb? I was expecting it to need several terabytes of storage. I'm curious as to what motherboard the server is using.

    What I mean is put it inside of an engine piston, Or, at the ends of a steering rack so they can be raised or lowered to change the angle of the steering arms. I have already made a couple of engines in LDD using this part. A belville microphone serves the same purpose shown in this thread. I'm kind of sad that the other part with the cross axle does not fit in a technic pinhole. according to LDD it is slightly wider than a tehcnic pin, so that's probably why.

    I just noticed this part in lego digital designer. Could the small ends possibly fit into a pin hole? If so this could be a really useful part as an inverted one of these: Except the small ends are only half a pin long so you can stack them together to create complex connections such as this: Another good part for having different height steering arms and for using as engine conrods: Regards, Snipe

    When I tried to upgrade to this version on an XP laptop I got an error saying my version of adobe flash player was out of date/missing when it wasnt, it then failed to download adobe flash and quit the installer. Not entirley an LDD problem but it does stop the update from happening and this flash thing is part of the LDD installer for this version of LDD.# I fixed it by installing on an XP desktop then copying the %systemdrive%\program files\lego company% folder as well as %appdata%lego company to the laptop.

    YES!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you @ The Lego Group! The axle 3L with stop came out a month or two ago, as did the connector Isn't there a seperate part in LDD just for the plug and a short piece of wire anyhow?
  19. SNIPE
    Thanks barman. I'm still figuring it out myself but as soon as I do Im going to try and simply it so it fits in a smaller spaces.

    The 42048-1 race cart and the upcoming 24053 volvo EW160E. I won't include the lego 42054 class tractor because I would say thats medium / medium-small not small/tiny
  21. SNIPE
    I don't understand..

    The steering axle might not be linear, it could be jumped up to a sub axle by adding gears, this would also allow for different torque and speed for turning the wheels. Doing this would route the drive for steering around the battery box.
  23. SNIPE
    I bet its limited to less than 1 full rotation so the light and motor cables can't get twisted too much by having several rotations, since the battery box does not rotate but the motor/lights cannot. Looks like the cables go through the turntable, but still.
  24. SNIPE
    Wow it has working lights too!. You were right indeed about where the battery box goes.
  25. SNIPE
    There is something appealing about having many parts - because you can use the parts for other things, and because it looks more technical and well built. However theres also advantages to keeping the parts count down (cost, less chance of failiure, more free pin/axle holes)
