    Wow, great model! It seems to handle the incline extremely well. What gear reduction did you use (if any) for the 3 L motors?
  2. Trekkie99
    Unless some other minifig shows up in the next round and we're all like "Oh! Wait, I changed my mind!!!" LOL

    Wow! This is so cool! I love Mtron!!! Thumbs up!
  4. Trekkie99
    Mine is a pretty much self explanatory. Haha!

    Definitely voting for him!
  7. Trekkie99
    Hmm. That's a possibility. Love your cars by the way!

    Yea, it would be hard to get the weight right in order for it to operate correctly. And that means that there would be very little room for options in the case of MOC's.

    Yes they are an old concept but I've always liked them . Hey, what if Lego made a Maglev? That would be cool!!!

    Thanks for mentioning the 1x2 version! I forgot to mention it.

    That's a pin hole brick. But it would look like that except it would have a hole like this.

    Those octagonal neon green windshields are one of my favorite parts. Joining them together with the tank tread is ingenious! And those black power miner wheels work great. I would love to see a breakdown. Thumbs up.

    Also, a 1x1 brick with an axle hole.

    Interesting. Does anyone have pictures or a description of what this prototype monorail looked like? I would love to know.

    Wow, these are so cool! I like the P110-C because it reminds me of some I did when I was younger. Thumbs up.

    I voted classic diver, but I was pretty sure maleficent was going to win. But so far classic diver is winning!!!

    I've edited this topic to broaden the subject of Lego space discussion on this thread. Since there appears to be no "Lego space themes/sets ideas discussion thread", I've joined the subject to this topic for consolidation reasons.

    Hahaha!!! I didn't get that joke at first! LOL! That's hilarious!
  19. Trekkie99
    Oh man! Space miner and classic alien in the same round?! There both so awesome! Oh well. I went with space miner. Cause I looooooove Mtron! "And then we blow you to pieces!!! Mwahahahahahaha!!!"

    That is the cutest car! And the build is very well done. Thumbs up.

    Evil knight!

    Much has changed on the subject of purism.
  23. Trekkie99
    Very good point! I don't even like using out of production parts, so I can't imagine adapting them!

    My answer to Erik's question? Yes. Their is definitely much more anti purism going around now then before. I personally am a purist but I have no problem with others doing otherwise. I don't view cutting bricks or making your own as cheating, your just making a part Lego hasn't yet. Say you need a 2&1/2 long axle. Take a 3 long axle, chop 1/6 off and your done! But what I do have a problem with is why you do it. Did you try every possible combination and came out fruitless? Then go ahead. Chop chop or Glue away! But what if with enough time and effort you could solve the problem without cutting & or glueing bricks, but instead you said "whatever"? If you've done the latter than shame on you!!! Even if you came out fruitless, in reality you didn't! Those five something building techniques that didn't work for one model just might work perfect for a future model! So next time, before you grab your X-acto knife, consider the other possibilities and take time to learn from them and in turn you will become a better builder.

    Hi, and welcome to eurobricks! It is possible to take a PF train motor and adapt it to function as a 9V motor, but it's complex and requires soldering. There are some videos on YouTube that give step by step instructions, but I don't recommend you do it. My suggestion? Embrace PF! It's versatile, and offers other options for motorization outside of the train motor such as the XL, L, and M motors. On page fourteen of this thread I have linked, there is a discussion on the subject of PF vs 9V trains. Some very good points were made on the pros & cons of both options. Worth checking out.
