    Oh wow, that's pretty poor. I'm curious to know if it works out in the end.
  2. astyanax
    No parts missing on my end. I guess the issue is with new panels? If you're using LDCad, you may have to download the newest unofficial parts, see link on Rebrickable page. With other software, I wouldn't know.

    @1gor I recently found out about the existence of part 23922: one of very few 'small' parts featuring a towball socket. It might give some possibilities. But maybe not. I don't have it to experiment with.
  4. astyanax
    In fact we had a discussion about this on the previous page (119).
  5. astyanax
    Unfortunately no. The amount of (technic) parts with towball socket is annoyingly limited IMO.

    @SNIPE This is exactly the version that spurred me to implement wheel arch panels myself, because I was disgusted by the way they were implemented on this knockoff. You can download the virtual model of my version here: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-89859/astyanax/pimp-my-pista-ferrari-488-pista-by-brunojj1/ Photos:

    If I'm not mistaken, even making a single node in the wall (connecting 6 beams with 6 blue 3L pins) is impossible...

    @Void_S Fun stuff indeed, thanks for sharing!

    If the bar slides out without taking the pin with it, try using instead a bar in a transparent color -- those seem to have more friction.
  10. astyanax
    @Igor1 lovely! So what's the verdict on the red half-pins? Do they have friction ridges?
  11. astyanax
    Back on topic: seems like the elbow connector is coming in Lime, nice! See the cactus.

    I do not make, enforce, or endorse the site rules, but they can be found here: It appears quite clear that non-Lego stuff should only be discussed in the Community forum. Exceptions seem to be possible; see e.g. the topic about brunojj1's model of the Ferrari 488 Pista, which was for a while moved to the Community forum but then moved back to Technic. Not sure if these were different admins, nor what internal discussions led to the double move. So it seems, in case of grey zone stuff, some leeway is possible. It's not really on topic here though. Maybe a new thread is in order? I don't feel like starting this argument, but it seems to keep coming up. Oh well.

    BrickLink catalogue even contains a 16L thin liftarm... Probably a prototype, and probably too fragile... https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=11003
  14. astyanax
    I'd rather see much more diversity in small liftarms and connectors. For example, a 2x2 liftarm, or pin with perpendicular axle hole.
  15. astyanax
    Right. Recently I got myself a ball socket in a tight space by pushing the studs of into the pinholes of such that the socket was between the axle holes. In that configuration, I could still run an axle through the axle holes. Perfect fit. :)

    While we're listing obvious parts that should've been introduced looong ago: how about female versions of and and !
  18. astyanax
    I looove such creations!
  19. astyanax
    I think I got more than 5min of juice, but I was using 2x BuWizz (with 4x PF L motors from Lego), though much of it was in ludicrous mode. After disassembling I found only 1 universal joint had cracked. Some liftarms had some plastic dust on them. Overall the damage was surprisingly minor.
  20. astyanax
    It only took 28 years to go from to . So we may see your suggested panel around 2038...
  21. astyanax
    Would it be so naive to expect the transformation to be achieved via a spring-loaded mechanism? That can be very simple and effective in keeping the bottom off the floor. The wheel on top is then just to prevent scratching at the moment of flipping.
  22. astyanax
    BTW I just had great fun clicking through your entire flickr stream, some real gems there! Especially that blue rally car is super cute! I might have a go at copying that, probably in red. Sorry if this is off topic
  23. astyanax
    Great touch with the lights! I've also been considering to build a "discount hailfire droid" using gear racks for a long time now. I'd want to use another motor to be able to adjust the angle of the wheels. Useless, but fun!
  24. astyanax
    Agreed, and agreed!
  25. astyanax
    So what are we seeing on the rear spoiler? Panel extenders like but only 1M wide?
