do you know the dimentions roughly?

What is the largest lego box for a set ever made? the lego 8448 is quite big, this question is not specific to any theme.

Ah that's the one thanks.

'PC black' and other colors are not there when I open the file, did you enable universal mode?

Thanks so very much :)

I can't seem to find LDD3 for mac on windows using virtual-box it goes really wierd, black bits, and keeps flickering between things etc can not even use it.

Hi, I have decided to make a group or template of a 1x1 brick in every color that is not available in the newer color palette bu after downgrading it crashed so I deleted the Lego Digital Designer folder in Macintosh HD/users/kris/library/application support/lego company. When I opened LDD again the folder reappeared and expectedly put in the correct config files, etc for the downgraded version and the application opened fine however when I added a line in preferences.ini (Themeaccess=LEGOUniverse) it is still showing the new palette which is: The palette I want is: Any suggestions?

For the gap between the round stopper plate and the round plate that pushes the spring down a normal axle on its own is not strong enough because it needs to be long. Basically this means that those round plates you showed are moving sothe spring is kept intact and on the other side is the plate that pushes on the spring.

Wont the axle still bend, the springs are long so the axle needs to be long which makes it more prone to bending. Wont the axle still bend, the springs are long so the axle needs to be long which makes it more prone to bending. What will slide down the axle too in order to compress the spring?

What do the bands do?

The reason for this is if I just used an axle and normal hole the axle would just bend and even snap so I decided to use something to support it and have the support go through a bigger hole, but there does not seem to be many bricks around. also note that I am supposed to be stacking springs over these many pin/axle connectors , the hole in the brick I'm looking for compresses these springs. These springs are very long compared to standard lego spring assemblies.

I need a hole so it can exit out of the other side and not be too tight.

can it exit out of the other side?

Where about's in the rim do they fit?

Hi, I am looking for a part that has a hole for a pin joiner to do, the unimog wheel spindle and hub has one but it is blocked off by a regular hole, the technic panels have them but dont work for pin joiners but axle joiners, however they are too tight and jam too. I could take the insides out of a whote lego 24tooth clutch gear but I need to be able to attach it to the car and the gear has no way of doing this.

I'll see what rims people have if they have these green tires and ask them, Im a purist but i'm ok with using parts of lego parts.

I've seen the tire and rim matching thread, this is only for combinations that exist in official lego sets, sometimes they can fit onto the rim fine, I just don't want it losing grip with the rim much or being too tight in that the tire changes shape dramatically

Hi, what rims does the 47345 (Lime Tire 72 x 34 Balloon Offset Tread) fit on, including narrow rims stacked aside?

The car has two slider rails either side which have wheels on the end, on the other end is the slider rail guidel which also rotates since it is attached to the body by a pin. The slider has stoppers so it can only rotate -/+ 90 degrees, when going off a drop it tends to rotate down by gravity. On a continuous flat surface,the sliders are positioned horizontally so -90 would rotate the slider down so it is vertical. The springs rebound help when it is going faster because it pushes the load from the car down on the wheels which lets it grip better.

Hi, Can you a pic of the tires themselves not on the rims and those wheel adapters?

Hi, Currently I'm working on getting an idea built called a lego stair climber, it works by having two rails either side of it which have wheels attached, the rails have a slider which also pivots that joins to the body so the wheels can drop down and grip the surface, the sliders slide by gravity meaning when there is a ditch it falls down by itself when you drive over it, reversing brings it back out of the ditch again. I was thinking about creating my own, quite long shock absorbers and there is some questions that I need to ask in order to start choosing parts: What thickness inner tube will I use, do you think an axle with lots of springs put over it will be too flexible and therefore weak?perhaps find lego springs that can fit over but then I would need the bit which compresses the spring to be able to slide over the pin joiner and have little 'play' so it does not wobble which will effect the strengh. Icould use threaded metal axles but those are short but would allow for the spring to be Shortned by putting a nut on the axle. What sort of springs (need to be 'LEGO springs' should I use, the car body and internals are made to be as light as possible. The travel rate max of the car is 24L (min) excluding the height tire and wheels.

How does this magnetic propulsion work? Very good ways of solving problems.

Hmm how many teeth does the small turntable have.

The small black bit should fit inside of the large grey bit but on the flanged side of the large grey bit. then you put the other half of the small bit on, the large black bit is not put back on.

The grey part is take off the black part of the large turntable so the liftarm part of the black part. Here is an image that explains it a bit better, the flared grey bit is where the small black part goes in , from that side, the liftarms are on The small turntable may need to be disassembled to get it in, its ok if one half of the lift arm does not spin as the other half will. the grey large part does not have the black part put back on.
