    Thats fair, the way it is right now I could see LEGO trying to sue their customers

    I dont like Arguments like this. Just because something is written down somewhere does not mean you should not question it?

    Why is Eurobricks so strict on talk about LEGO clones and competitor Brands? Where is the Not-LEGO Talk going? I dont get it You should like a product, not a brand.

    Why did you remind me of its existance, the purple one is the worst one of them all. The first time I saw the model my partially colorblind eyes made me think they were blue, until the guy in the review started complaining why they had to be purple
  5. Gray Gear
    Exactly! Hate them chinese knockoff Brands all you want, but I have Wheelarches in Black, white and red, and y'all purists are stuck with orange and bugatti blue

    LEGO is "copying" Bricks from other brands as well, like the new Bracket variations or the rounded 1x2 plate. This is just being smart.

    There is no way the eclipse leak is for real... If you think about it would make sense to bring back iconic cars from the youth of the now 30-50yo, because these are the majority actually buying these 300+ā‚¬ cars. Like they did with the creator mustang. But the Eclipse? Not gonna happen. No.

    What are you even trying to accomplish here? Just change the direction of the rotation?

    Is there really a problem when you tell people the name of the car you built a model of? Did someone in this community get in trouble by doing so before? I dont get it.

    I dont know anything about construction equipment, I am a car guy. Just saying. Somehow this crane looks more like an excavator than a crawler crane. To me it looks like the track section is too high, and not long and wide enough. I would not have used the huge track wheels for a crane this size as well. Connecting the lifting system for the boom at the top and not at the middle of the boom might be a good idea. And a way to put on some weigths might give it more of a crane appearance as well. These are just my unqualified thoughts, I dont want to insult your work

    If anyone decided to build my Model, please comment on the build and post some pictures when it is completed. I would love to see how your version turned out. Thank you very much Gray Gear

    Your content count just reached 10, so I believe you should be able to send PMs now

    Wont work, because of the gear underneath
  14. Gray Gear
    As you realized yourself already, there is no hole piece that would fit there. You'll need to change some things up. You could move the axle 1 stud up or down(all directions are meant by the orientation of the photo), and use a 20 tooth gear, if you dont mind the axle being moved and a slightly different gear ratio. Then you could just support it in the long black liftarm on the right.

    Lol I thought it would shoot at airplanes, not shoot airplanes themselves

    Please people, dont start an new Thread everytime you have a question, or have an Idea for a MOC/Mod and nothing to show. I want to see intresting content, but y'all are starting to bloat the Forum Frontpage with useless Thread corpses, that died after like 2 replies. For most questions or small developments there will alredy be a appropriate thread.

    I myself think of this when developing an axle: Would i feel comfortable putting a 1.5L Waterbottle on top of this? If the anser is no, then your axle is too weak. If the answer is yes, then actually putting a 1.5L Waterbottle on top of the axle is also a good strength test, to see if there is any flex that you dont want.
  18. Gray Gear
    Well, I dont get it. It seems to work, even though it shouldn't. It is bothering me, if someone can explain this please do. I am no expert in this field.
  19. Gray Gear
    I did not realize the links were in front of the axle. Yes, this seems to be a problem.
  20. Gray Gear
    Yeah I've also had a lot of these pieces break on me, which did not suprise me because most of the pieces are 5-10 years old. Those pieces are fragile, so after some time they break, thats just how it is I guess
  21. Gray Gear
    Its a cool concept, but you'll have to beef things up. Its good that you are using 2 springs per wheel. But dont underestimate the force of the hard spring, those half liftarms are way to fragile. Also it might be better to use 2 small linar actuators per axle instead oft the Gears to reduce play in the system. Like this your one side of the car might end up sitting lower than the other, because of the play between the gears. How do you plan to put the axle on the Frame? Will the axle sit on top of the lowest layer? I cant tell cause height adjuastability
  22. Gray Gear
    The Link is mounted further inside than the joint the steerin pivots on - thats all you need

    Sorry I dont speak baguette. This is a english speaking forum.

    Do you have some old gear shifters and Bugatti gears at hand? If they are compatible (I never tried that) you could modify my design to use the old shifter rings. That way it would only be 1 stud longer. Edit: Just tried it, does not work
  25. Gray Gear
    Ooh I can see your problem...your shift lever ist behind the transmission...that makes length a bigger issue. All transmissions I designed so far had the shifter in front of the transmission. At least there is no need for a Shiftlock System in a simple 4speed. But with your reverse gear, there is indeed a need for such a system. How will you prevent the reverse gear from accidentaly engaging when shifting in the center column? Also, these half stud reverse gears willl disengage themselves as soon as they are supposed to spin. I am sorry to do this, but I have done my fair share of digital gearbox designing, that ended up not working irl
