    Almost, except the holes go through each other and theres a complete row of holes on the sides and top/bottom

    How about: A 5L thick technic beam but with pinholes intersecting from the top/bottom rather tha just the front and back, only concern is will it be strong enough but there are other stronger plastics than ABS. This would make so much more possible when building MOC, because axles or pins can join onto the liftarm from either direction but saves the inconvenience of the old studded beams. Unline the studded beams which have offset studs, everything is lined up but there still should be enough materill to have in-between each hole so it has some rigitidy to it. Regards, Snipe

    Wow I thought this plane was simple and lacked functions but I was very wong. Looks like I'm gonna have to buy all 3 2015 sets now! -so lego must be doing something right. The plane looks so fun to play with and I don't usually play much, just develop. What shade of red parts does it use?

    Thanks for the thourgh review!. I like seeing the proper close up photos and videos as well as the new parts themselves. Things I like about this set: The turntable can have gears bevelled at 90 degrees to it which should save lots of space, I wonder if any wheels and/or tires can be put inside of it so that they sort of act like rollers rather than planetary gears. How many axles can you fit in this turntable hole? (in an evenly spaced matrix) I like the amount of red clutch gears and clutch rings and how they still use the new parts (this, this, and this) I like the amount of functions and the design and the size /compctness I lke the suspention and steering setup though I might put my own setup in. Shame the outriggers aren't 2 stage like on the 42009 but hey we could always MOD it. I wish the phenumatics would allow faster air flow (larger nozzle holes) but nice to see the redesigned nozzles which were a major problem priorly. Snipe

    Hi, Can I get the LXF template?
  6. SNIPE
    Racers was a subset of Lego Technic at one point. Now it is a seperate lineup, or is discontinuted/dormant. The Ferrari models and the Silver Champion/Williams F1 were Technic-Racers sets. Hope this clears it up.

    This looks class. please make this an official set TLG!

    Hi is there any possibility of having a better way to finley move parts in LDD rather than editing the LFXML file directly. Maybe a program can give us either a 3d model of the part and 3 fields, X Y and Z position, or it can let us drag the part around by clicking the 3d model? The program simply writes back the co ordinates to the LXFML file/. The program must be able to work the same data as whats in an LXFML file in order to get the co ordinates of the part ive positioned and then write it to the LXFML file but that shouldnt be too hard. Since programs such as LDRAW use a simular co ordinatedata structure. The program could also select the part, color and rotation prior to saving it to the LXFML file. Regards, Snipe

    Once decorated can you load it back into LDD again?

    I dont bother with V engines anymore as there so cumbersome and can be hard to mount

    If they do make an S motor it should go around 80,000 RPM I think, that would be cool and possible for a small motor, they should also make it possible to hook it up to the mains by making an AC transformer with a PF plug on the end.
  12. SNIPE
    Yes, that

    Wasn't there two types of orange in LDD before, they were both bright orange but one was more brighter than the other, the brighter orange was lower down in the palette?.

    I don't understand how this is a clutch?

    I made a mockup hub that positions the ball joints practically in the same place as the real wheel hub, the steering works fine, It has around 4 mm of steer which is fine as it is a big lorry. It is still using the small A frames but I can reinforce them since they dont need to hinge for the suspention. Drive still works fine and I dont have to mess with pesky UV joints.

    The problem is how do I have a live axle, there is 4 axles, The chassis and diff frames hold the outriggers so if the diff frames move, the outrigggers will too. The set i'm modding is the technic 8258.

    I don't know of any other way to mount the wishbones. edit: I have added a beam behind the steering rack and have attached the wishbones vertically but now since they canot pivot maybe the steeering arms are too short. does anybody have any other ideas? Only other thing I can think of is to have suspention like on the unimog but with small springs. It has to be 16 or 17L though

    Hi I don't have the wheel hubs themselves so I cannot make the model in real life but hopefully it should work. It is a meer 17L in lengh and should have drive, and a little suspention and steering but not loads, it only needs a little bit as there will be 4of these units in the model which amount to more overall steering angle, and the wheel clearance between the mudguard is only around 2L at the most. I'm just wondering if this setup will work if built in real life, the wishbones can pivot slightly due to how they are attched onto the frame. The steering rack will probably touch the differenential outer gear but if I reinforce the steering rack it should not wobble as much. You might need to change the uv/cv joints to get more angle. http://bricksafe.com... unit small.lxf Regards, Snipe

    I'm adding a differentiall to each axle and hopefully steering and suspention to each axle too. I have tried using the hube from the 8448 with the 7L steering rack but the steering arms are too long. the wishbones were from the green snowmobile of 2014. the wishbones have to be 3x3 in order for them andthe hub to fit inside of the recess of the rims, (the rims are turned back to front ). I will build the setup soon and yeah its probaly the best way to learn. Hopefully the L motor will be suitable instead of the L motor, it is driving the same geartrains though so there's nothing added there. Ill add seperate motors to control the rest of the functions. don't think I want to RC it though, doesn't really suit the set IMO. Does anybody have some ideas on how to have steering, drive and suspention within 13L?

    How does it limit how far it goes?

    Hi I was just wondering, how come the lego 8258 lorry can steer equally from left to right when the bevel gear driving the gear strip is not in the centre of the gear strip? Very cool set though, busy modding it. I'd say this is very very close to the 42009 in terms of complexity, it has some design techniques that are unique to this set as far as I've seen.
  22. SNIPE
    Here is my take if you want a shallow design with little clearance between the plate and the motor: It is not as strong as other designs but may be just strong enough for the pupose and is fairly simple. One is offset by a half stud and one lines up with the studs. The red wall is where your technic studded beams would be. Regards, Snipe

    Loving the underside of the tippping bed how its curved, never been done before. Also like the suspention, another first for lego.
  24. SNIPE
    I'm amazed how they manage to build such complex chassis and mechanisms within it This and the 42009 is very good, as well as the unimog of course. I can only make a technic set or an idea simplified/smaller but I cannot design an entire MOD/MOC that is this compact and multi-functional

    skip to 3:23 and you will find the other 2 cylenders packed right in tighly.So yes this is an inline 6.
