    From the look of it, I would say these new ones would run slightly smoother, with less play... is this so ?

    I've been looking for a tech figure for a couple of years now and they don't seem to be out there... you can buy a foot, or a hand... that's about it. So if I find one, 15 min from my house for 19 euros, comes with a car... I'd say that's a bargain in 2022. It also has some nice 3L black pins and grey axle/pins ..as I am always trying to keep the blue dots out of my builds. First thing he build...

    Found a second hand 8230 today for 19 euros. It has the "impossible" to find technic figure So I finally got my guy

    So cool you got that working.

    Cool ! Drifting 1.9kg of Lego on the big rubber Porsche tires.... it can be done; https://bricksafe.com/files/Permo/de-driftkikker/Video.mp4 4 L motors hard coupled to the rear axle.

    Well done !

    I was looking at those tracks thinking how is this Lego ? Then I looked closer and was like "oh my ! ... this thing is huge !" Wonderfull build, really well done !

    Very elegant and creative ! Well done !

    A couple of years ago I bought two second hand crawler sets (V2 receivers and 2L motors) at 70 / 80 euro's a set... great parts pack. Got the Porsche and the Landrover, also for the parts... and that's about all the Lego I need to build a (vehicle) MOC. I don't care for collecting / displaying, (I don't have the room nor money for that) for me it's all about the creative process of building something. I just stick to the old PF stuff, pared with my DIY 3S batterybox I got all the power I could wish for (two V2 receivers will provide 70 Watts with a powerfull battery, that's a lot !) I buy the occasional new bits from a brickstore, like the new differentials or the orange change over ring... just a couple of euros a year will keep me up to date. Whenever I get parts, I get them in black (most available color ?) kinda boring, but at least consistant... Oh, and just found this.... I don't have the motorcycle wheels,... but someone should build this

    That looks like a pretty comfy ride... I want a car just like that Very cool project !

    Thanks ! Don't know if they still sell these straws as they are plastic... I got mine from "de Appie" years ago... it's just a perfect fit.
  12. Permo
    Yes it does, very accurate at 2,5 to 3mtr distance... it can shoot over 10mtr distance. The barrel is a drinking straw that happens to fit the 4L tan axle with round bit very tight. I expected it to never come out again, could not blow it out myself... but with 50psi from the well pumped airtank it shot it all across my house into the curtains in the other room. I was blown away by the amount of punch this compact gun packs. Here's a test shot at aprox half power of the system; https://bricksafe.com/files/Permo/the-black-project/Shot.mp4 The laser and air release servo share the same control, so first I aim the laser, then pump the tank... and fire the shot. I get 9 out of 10 direct hits with this. Very compact;

    Thanks ! I see now it's the small linear actuator running trough the small turntable. I used a large one going trough a large turntable and only got one motor for pan and tilt so I had to incorporate a gear switching mechanism, so it got rather bulky. I like the elegance of yours. It features a laser guided pneumatic missile launcher.
  14. Permo
    Cool model ! I'm looking at your turret, as I just recently made one myself and I am sort of flabbergasted by the compact size of your mechanism... From the picture it looks like you are running a linear actuator trough the center of a black gear.... and I'm like ... wut ? ... how ?
  15. Permo
    With two airtanks you could stay 100% Lego, no mods if you do it like this... use a seringe to fill the watertank from outside the model (edit) tilt the watertank 90° so pressure is on top and output on the bottom.
  16. Permo
    I use a motorized pneumatic pump, pressuring the Lego airtank with a valve on a servo... I simply blow out full pressure (3-4 bar) in the top of the little (10ml) water filled flask, the bottom hose connects to the nozzle on the hood. I made a hole in the bottom and put a pneumatic connector in it, used some hotglue to watertight it. So yeah, you,ll need to sacrifice one pneumatic connector en 2 cm of hose, could be done with an extra Lego airtank I guess, but it will be hard to fill up. 10ml is ok to squirt arround the room, it will only get you a wet sock....

    Has anybody done a powerfull watercannon yet ? I think I just did... it was pretty simple actually. https://bricksafe.com/files/Permo/supercharged-v8-dragster/blackwater/Blackwater A1.mp4 Poor guy
  18. Permo
    O wow ! ... you did a great job on that one !
  19. Permo
    I'll just buy the diff when it shows up in the store...
  20. Permo
    I like it as a parts kit,... love the rims !
  21. Permo
    Great pictures !
  22. Permo
    I don't get it... Just cut a Lego extensioncord and hook it up to the powersupply or any other battery. Hook up to a pair of V2 receivers and you'll be surprised.
  23. Permo
    Oh my !.... That is one ugly design (was it designed at all ?) I bet it will even look more horrible in Lego.

    Very cool ! Especially the name of the project, almost made me choke on my coffee
