    No problem! Glad I could help! Best of luck!

    Nick Nova's Spaceship is done by Perijove. The same guy that designed the Curiosity Rover. To cool!

    That was an unsaid understanding, but yes.

    How about a set based off the Mallard?

    A little update I did awhile back. Removed the spoiler, made the rider look more serious, and added a diorama to display the speeder on. Features a section of perimeter fence, and some crystal ore within the cracks of the ground. Enjoy! https://www.flickr.com/photos/149607664@N06/40049497842/in/dateposted/

    Let's hope so. Otherwise you'll have to rephrase that to "had a LOT of potential".

    Personally I'd be honoured if EB staff used a picture I took. Or anyone else for that matter. But if someone started making posters of my MOCs and was selling them, Or claimed my MOCs as their own, that would be a problem.

    This classic space monorail which I'm fairly sure was made by @Exetrius is flipping awesome! https://ideas.lego.com/projects/a45496e2-db91-477e-99de-634a14439874 He explains that the ladders are placeholders for the monorail track. @LegoModularFan, yes I've noticed!

    Ive been following this topic lightly, and just wanted to say that there's a lot of awesome MOCs displayed here! I found an Ideas project that I'm fairly sure was made by @Exetrius. Check it out! https://ideas.lego.com/projects/a45496e2-db91-477e-99de-634a14439874 This model is so cool! He explains that the ladders are place holders for the rollercoaster track.

    Ya mean this project?! https://ideas.lego.com/projects/a45496e2-db91-477e-99de-634a14439874 This is flipping awesome!!! Supported! Two thumbs up!

    I plead guilty on all counts.

    Is there a way to run 88000 with only four batteries? I think I remember reading about it on this forum not to long ago. Couldn't find the topic it was in. Thanks!

    So the easiest way to do this would be to remove the two 16 tooth gears located in the crank box, and replace them with a 20 tooth gear on top, and a 12 tooth gear on the bottom. This results in a 20:12 ratio, which can be simplified down to 5:3. Divide 5 by 3 and we get 1.66666...etc. The max RPM of an XL motor when no load is applied is 224, and the max torque when no load is applied is 90.4 Nm. Multiply 224 by 1.66 and you get around 372 RPM. Divide 90.4 Nm by 1.66 and you get around 54 Nm of torque. Now when compared to an M motor running under no load at a 1:1 gear ratio, here's what you get. [M motor] (1:1 gear ratio, no load) RPM: 380 Nm torque: 40 [XL motor] (5:3 gear ratio, no load) RPM: around 372 Nm torque: around 54 As can be seen for the XL motor, the torque is higher, but the revolutions are slightly slower. Regards.

    Their is no such thing really as a "illegal building technique". An IBT is simply a technique that TLG would never use in their own sets for whatever reason such as it not being sturdy enough, or to complex to replicate in instructions. On the other hand, a technique that bends/stresses parts may be considered "illegal", or at least frowned upon by some. But that's just the personal preference of some. Regards.

    Well the L motor has double the torque, but thereby much more power consumption*. (However you're using the 9V train controller box so that's probably not an issue for you.)* Was the M motor new when you started using it on your carousel? You could also use the almighty XL motor. You'd have to gear up, but XL motors have a ton of torque. Meaning you could probably gear up till the cows come home and the motor will will still run like a champ. But build strong. The XL motor loves to break stuff.

    I think the Space Adventurers idea would work very well! (BTW @Exetrius & @Digger of Bricks, thanks for keeping this topic alive. ) Well put.
  19. Trekkie99
    If only!
  20. Trekkie99
    Ya mean this one?
  21. Trekkie99
    This is so freaking cute! Nicely done.
  22. Trekkie99
    Thanks for all the compliments everyone! I had a lot of fun, and I will definitely be back to play more mafia when it comes around! Cheers. LMF

    Where'd you get such an awesome username? :laugh: :thumbup:

    Thanks for having me everyone! Good luck town!

    I personally have never had problem with IR receiver in terms of connection even when the receiver is covered up. Sure maybe the range is diminished a bit, but that's never concerned me.
