    Not really sure it this is the best place for this, but I've noticed that I don't get notifications about topics @Jim has posted (I follow the Technic forum), except that today I got a notification for the Technic 2018 Set Discussion - which was posted in August! Any idea what's going on?

    Happy new year everyone! I've decided to finish sorting my Lego... Not the most fun thing to do, but it will be much more fun to build when it's done! Anyway, I probably won't be posting any MOCs for a while... (but I'll still be commenting )

    What is it with telehandlers this week? Nice work, and a great C-model!
  4. mocbuild101
    Interesting design, I never thought of putting parts inside the differential like that...
  5. mocbuild101
    Thanks, when you've built it, could you post a photo here? (or on Rebrickable in the fan photos section) - It would be great to see other peoples versions.
  6. mocbuild101
    I like it! - It's a great idea, and very different.

    Sorry for double post, I have updated the first post with some LDCad/POV-Ray animations (inside spoiler).

    Very nice! I like that all the functions use pneumatics - they are really underused in Lego sets... Agreed, but Lego's one is still quite good - it just would have been better with pneumatics...
  9. mocbuild101
    Looks okay, but I think it might be a bit too wide... Lots of functions though, which is good.
  10. mocbuild101
    Nice, definitely one of your better looking MOCs.

    Thanks! Thanks, I was actually thinking of making some kind of desk stand for it, and possibly a motorised version too. Thanks, I've already started thinking how I could make a bigger one - at CCBS scale. Thanks, I can't remember exactly where I got mine, but the wind-up motor comes from 5 sports sets from 2002-2003.

    For my entry, I decided to make something nice and simple... And this is what I cam up with: It's a wind-up motor inside a 6x6 box, that moves the legs of the Technic guy, creating the illusion that he is pushing the box. Video: As mentioned in the video, I have also made instructions for this, which are available for free on Rebrickable. POV-Ray render: Some LDCad animations - rendered with POV-Ray:

    "Must. Destroy. Fruit." It's so funny to watch it swing the knife aimlessly at the chopping board, hoping to hit the right spot...
  14. mocbuild101
    Wow... This is amazing! - in fact, it's too amazing! I think my jaw might be on the ground for some time...
  15. mocbuild101
    I think that's the right decision, it keeps things a lot simpler.

    It is because the pullback motor has a mechanism inside it that allows you to wind it up at a higher gear ratio than when it's released, however, the mechanism doesn't switch gear ratios immediately, so there is always a short burst of high torque before it changes. You can see this in action by winding up a motor while counting the revolutions, and then counting them again as you gradually release it - you will find there will be many more revolutions on release.
  17. mocbuild101
    Very nice idea! If you are able to use all the power the pullback motors have, it should be very powerful...
  18. mocbuild101
    Great idea, you could also use the new (red) 16z clutch gear - which would be a bit easier to use. Agreed. Something like "Weaker clutch gear idea" ?
  19. mocbuild101
    Loos good so far, and it's nice to see that you've gone for a larger scale pullback vehicle - something different is good.
  20. mocbuild101
    A standard video would have a demonstration of features, a few different looks at the design, and a few other bits in between. The best way would be to look at other people's videos (mine are fairy simple), and make something similar.
  21. mocbuild101
    What about something like this:
  22. mocbuild101
    Very nice! It really does fit perfectly into the "Cartoon Style" category - you'd never see a tractor that powerful in real life!
  23. mocbuild101
    Very interesting... But I can't really understand how the chain can make them move in that pattern... Could you show more of the internal mechanisms?
  24. mocbuild101
    There are the newer 16x16 baseplates - which have standard plate thickness: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=97268#T=C
  25. mocbuild101
    I've found that they are really useful for a MOC that needs a baseplate, but also needs to be perfectly square (no flexing). I actually use them a lot more than the normal baseplates, and I've also found that they seem to have a higher clutch-power than most other baseplates. Also, shouldn't we call these basebricks?
