Been a busy week and I was able to purchase the Lego set 42076 Hovercraft for $57 USD on E-bay!! For over 1000 pcs and usable colors , this set is perfect for parts with numbers of large panels and long beams. I believe this set is one of the worst Lego Technics models ever and I don't plan to build the set as I'm all ready got into the parts!! Propellers, jet intakes and linear actuators and even one spring shock and small rubber tires was a surprise to find in this set.. I also have done a mod on the Lego set 42093 Corvette and I really like it .. Its a 4x4 mod and it turns the ever low rider into a 4x4 beast. Its on WIP status and I was thinking if a XL Lego motor could fit in this tiny body .. Well here is a few pictures of my 42093 4x4 mod..

I just made this simple video to show a difference in speed as the 12 volts operation should be at least 30% percent faster then at 9 volts.. at 12 volts , The Lego IR receiver will fail and I believe 11 volts is the max volts for your IR receiver voltage input. I believe Bu-wizz is at 11.1 volts on ludicrous mode!!! using 1.6 volts for a total 9.6 is a small but noticeable gain.. if they are rated at 1.75 volts for a total of 10.5 volts would be nice.. as long its under 11 volts to use the IR receiver with in a safe zone,,

Today, I want to share some more color measurements of the colored weights from the Lego set 42093 Corvette elements. This undocumented features from the Lego technic (Group?) has been decoded and to show the color black haves unique properties in weight saving designs for the future of Lego RC competition and with my research which led me to innovate weight saving designs by just using the color black elements and create an artwork to implement black with different colors . more on that later .. to provide proof of work, I have more pictures from the Lego set 42093 since its has provided new samples to compare with.. Calibrate to the nearest 0.001 of a gram .... pass as I predicted, the bigger the element the bigger the weight differences compared to black. That is almost a 1/10 of a gram weight savings the color black has provided. Wow!! and also there was some new parts in the 42093 set and for kicks here are a few samples.. Soon they will be in black!! and I also have started a RC mod on the Lego set 42093 that uses 2 x L Lego Motors , rear independent suspension ,1 m motor for steering and the classic Lego battery pack!! here is a sneak preview!!

Great find !! 1.6 volts is better then 1.5 or 1.2 volts when it comes to DC motors!! I went ahead and order this from ebay!!! $31.43 USD and free shippping!! 1.6 volts , 2800mwh !!! and its a 8 pack of batteries and a charger!! great deal!! for your technic models needs.. https://www.ebay.com/itm/153333718907

Some door bell systems uses cat6 POE with wifi. under 5 volts, 12 volts are more common , they can communicate with the tv and audio to mute them down, maybe in fresno they saw the new space shuttle launch yesterday .. https://www.virgingalactic.com/

its rated 10 Amps... thats 10,000 ma!! .. door bells in California can be very loud .. i heard some that plays music and capture video.. then again I do live at a place that is like 10 years advance then anywhere in the world !! but its a desert

or I found this .. its also 10000 mah https://www.aliexpress.com/item/High-quality-new-4pcs-lot-alkaline-battery-10A-9V-L1022-battery-doorbell-remote-control-shutter-garage/32814779302.html?spm=2114.search0104.3.36.1ad1f3d91LTvvR&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_1_10065_10130_10068_10890_10547_319_10546_317_10548_10545_10696_453_10084_454_10083_10618_10307_537_536_10902_10059_10884_10887_321_322_10103,searchweb201603_56,ppcSwitch_0&algo_expid=922bc722-ce30-4a07-bdba-6a72d043bcdc-8&algo_pvid=922bc722-ce30-4a07-bdba-6a72d043bcdc&transAbTest=ae803_3

400 mah is poor.... at least 1000!! for 2 Large lego motors to run in a hour

if you seen my thread , 12 volts lipo is king but 11.1v is safe for lego PF devices

yes the 6 AA disposable batteries have more amps .therefore better performance then lego lipo. thats why I use AA duracells...power is know as watts and that how much heat it generates . because the 9 volts batteries are design to last for years due to its low current.. so there is a trade off

Lets use buckets of water as analogy for 9 volts battery. the 9 volt battery equals to 9 gallons of water in a bucket in analogy mode. but the hole in the bottom of the bucket is small so only a few drips of water comes out.. well a 9 volt battery does that .. only small amount of current can be gain like the drip from a small hole in a bucket.. the drip can maybe push a watermill but it doesn't ok say you have 9 volts but in 1.5 gallons so you have 6 buckets but these buckets can pour the whole amount of water quick and it can turn a watermill but the problem is that the buckets run empty to quick but that is needed to turn the watermill (lego motors) so therefore 6 x 1.5 volts batteries can drive 2 Large motors for an hour where the one 9 volt battery is only design to run 1 lego M motor for a bit.. so current (amps) is how much of the voltage is leaking(discharge) till it runs dry 0 volts. Lipo batteries s like having AA batteries that can dump alot of current and does it for an hour (mah) and can be recharged!!! Its that easy and you can even use ohm's law!!!

that's true for the small scale RC modeling needs all the torque posi-traction can mustard but to play with the 4th image, with screw in the center is perfect..

sometimes I look at the pictures and don't read the print.. Now I understand your steering setup. instead of yellow, it looks like you're going for the gold!!

I've never think that red and white looks so good together .. a different spin on your mini engine .. great job!!

@Essge really, a diff in a smaller scale... im listening !!

yes they do @I_Igor. unfortunately Lego Technics don't follow that rule!!

Your Yellow tractor came out nice!! Yellow, I consider is a light weight color .. Your tractor rocks!!! using lego part 15461 I would recommend on smaller scales models!!

I like building in that scale and pendular suspension is the best your'e gonna get and its not worth it.. Great job!! and I love the red white and blue theme

@Mechbuilds I do agree!!! :) I've blazed that trail and ended up with a fistful of elements. The most important elements like the frame 5 x 11 and other parts that are dark blue grey color only are not available on are favorite cowboy, Lego technic color black.. the fastest technic color this side of the Mississippi !! Design and build with the color black techniic parts could give you up to 10 percent in weight savings if you mixed in with other colors..

Even touching the elements with our greasy fingers adds 0.001 to 0.003 of a gram!!! that is not dust but scratches and dents.,. the light and the post process of the pictures gives a dusty look.. its actually shiny clean pitted from years of use.. I do calibrate and use only new pieces when I post the results.. I wish there are others like me who is interested in weighing them out.. I like to know if my scale is still good.. i might buy a new scale in the future if my current is off.. if it is then difference in weight should still be there and black will always be the lightest!!

I love to order sets from Lego.com!! It was a fair price of $49.99 USD and free shipping over $35 dollars on orders. Plus as always Lego likes to add more to your package.. I open up the box and Wow!! trading cards!! Well before I build it. I need to weigh a few elements. I wonder why orange as the color.. what properties does it bring to the table? Well lets see.. All the elements are from the Lego set 42093 and of course black is the victor..so I was curious on where the weight of the color orange fits in Lego Technic undocumented weight of the color elements. So far Iv'e discovered from the lightest to the heaviest in weight black is the lightest to dark blue gray is the hefty weight winner.. so measuring the parts from this set and a few others elements to see where orange fits. the lightest of the bunch.. well, it looks like orange is heavier then red (middle weight) white is heavier then orange.. orange is kind of a heavy color..

Well, till I clean up my Flicker account, I found some older pictures of the Lego set 8273 project when I first started to design the super 8273 last year... I just like the scale that this set offers and the Off-road truck looks tough but yet small scale looks right!! The cab is actually built around the original design by using panels. It gives a fuller look and less holes to see thru and gives a less technic look but more todays standards on using panels. This part of the frame is the turret gear works that uses a Lego M motor and the tan colored 20t gear manually slides in out between the skew left and right and raise up and down on the 8273 mechanical pallet lift . using a different frame This is the frame of the 8273 from Lego.com instructions (which they are for free!!) and you can see all the blue parts i can fit on this!! Thats what I get for being in the dark ages for 30 years!! ouch.... The use of panels fits in perfect near the rear of the chassis!!! Can you see they are almost twins !!

Yes , I have! I would post more pictures but Flicker says 1000 pictures are my limit!!

Well, I hope @I_Igor was successful on the boiler and today I've done my first RC run on my Legotron chassis (project 8273) and recorded to youtube. This is the Super Legotron chassis and this version is an upgrade that includes 6x6 AWD with fake engine,49.5mm tires on rear independent suspension being powered by 2 Lego large motors direct coupled to a center differential operation on Lego's 9 volt battery box. A Hot Power 2.4ghz RC controller is the only non Lego item beside my duracells in the battery case. !2.4 volt operation experiments coming soon. I don't think its need a 12 volt update since performance on 9 volts is impressive. Using my building skills is like adding BuWizz to your MOC (just joking) I was very impress with my first run and it shows off my Lego technic skills on building reliable, strong Lego Rc models. Here are a few pictures and a video of the chassis first run!! Sorry for the quality on the video, youtube seems to be more picky on what you can upload using HD and youtube won't let me fix the HD anymore!! More features this MOC features , Anti-Ackermann steering, cab over or cab behind engine setup is possible and you can modified this MOC to use the functions and hardware from the Lego set 8273 since its a evolution from it. Double Gears for maximum traction and less gears skipping from drive train especially under 12 volts operation. Small scale and using a generic semi-tractor chassis that can be altered to fits your model needs. Axles with wheels on 5 x 7 frames acts like modules to add more axles or even a steering modules can be created and used. If I get enough request then I might even do instructions ..( more like if I have the time :) ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AD6SE5cwsU&t=78s Double gears output to ensure no gears slippage

Any video you can make a link to.. ? Somehow I can't find the video on flicker?? Update I found it !!
