Yeah those metal axle train wheels... i will change them for the newest cheap lego ones, since these are better. I don't care for the metal axle, it just has to work!

I really like the Bluebrixx stuff, but lets say there is a reason why it's so cheap. You feel the parts aren't on par with other brands when it comes to quality. The sets feel like they are only designed in a software. Bogie plates for train sets have a pin, right. These pins are pushed through 2 plates with holes, which means they can't move much, i always have to use a 6mm drill and widen the hole of the top plate to get room for the bogie plate pin. Also their train wheel sets are just horrible. Too much movement of wheels in all sorts of directions. And train metal axles are too short! You always have to fidle with the track width of those wheel sets.

Anyway... The cada 4x4 jeep uses a similar rechargeable box and uses 2 L motors stacked. Yes they are no buggy motors, but is it known how much non-lego buggy motors produce or use. There are several manufacturers...
-
Then why did they do it like that?

I finished the model today. I ran both motors on one socket. One motor directly on the socket and one with a Lego PF switch in between to get this motor running in the same direction as the other. It drives just fine, at the same speed as when i use 2 sockets. No melted cables or plugs. Motors are a bit smelly sometimes... you know that spicy electric motor smell... but so far so good!?!? The only thing which melted was the red lever part which switches the gears. Changed that to a Lego part and added some grease to it, and to one spot in the driveshaft, which melted on peoples sets.

42144 - Material Handler
Polarlicht replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
One thing's for sure, they recolored those cylinders for something bigger, and not just for that waste handler -
I think they might cut off. I have tried them before i started to assemble the set and they worked fine, but they ran for themselves, without any load. What happens when i put a extension wire between the hub and both motors plugged together?
-
So it could mean, they get warm first before melting or something.

@ToastieI ordered the Cada 4x4 Jeep on BB. They sell other brands too. Should be here by friday. I am new to this brand, and already starting with two sets in (yellow italian and red 4x4). Really eager to see what they are like. Feels great to try some different brands (which shall not be named), other than Lego :) Also, i really like their "Claas" telehandler.

@Jim Ok, fair enough... As for the set i bought, it is legal, since they have permission from @Zerobricks, and it is not copied from Lego. If Zerobricks said NO to MK, and they would have just stolen it anyway, that would be a different case. I would not support that Again, i bought it on Amazon germany, and when you buy something in germany it's more than legal. I don't know if they even offer these other copied sets here... I will change this topics name to something different, since i just want to know the answer to my first question, and further MK discussion won't be needed. Also i don't really now where else i could ask. @Gimmick what do you mean with this? I am not into electronics...
-
Why did you write that? Thats not true! At least not for the set i bought! If you don't have anything to contribute, don't post and report silently if you think this thread is wrong or whatever! Not every chinese brick toy is a copyright violation!! It's a legal brand and a legal product i bought on Amazon germany!

10304 Chevrolet Camaro Z 28 Discussion Thread

Want want want!!! Another Psiaki car? -
I bought the mouldking 31061 G700 6x6 "mercedes" and it comes with a recharchable battery with 4 sockets for motors and such. The set has 2 motors for steering and shifting the gearbox on socket C and D. It also has 2 big buggy drive motors on socket A and B. Now these motors are connected together with one drive shaft, so i have to press both A and B buttons at the same time on the remote controll. Now there is a trick where you can combine buttons, like A and B together to only press A to use both motors, which works. But why didn't they just put both buggy motor cables on one socket, since you can stack them???
