For look I would go for the black one with axle hole.

If you could 'push' the connector in the lower image over the worm gear it would need to rotate along is main axis. It is similar to a nut on a threaded bolt/screw.

How did you figure out about the 2x5 panels for the fuselage? They fit exactly. This set will be a nice parts pack for white connectors that could be considered rare. And I can confirm that there is little momentum in the drivetrain. Thus propellers will stop immediately if you do not turn the gear. (Unfortunately I cannot show picture as upload to Brickshelf does not work since a few days.)

Thanks for checking and confirmation. What I tried so far: use a grey 16teeth gear 6542b instead of the red one on the axle that connects the rear axle with the fake engine. (If I remember correctly there was some finding that those have less friction in gear boxes.) This does not improve on the situation. I think it those vertical beams (steps 43, 48, and 52) are not secured sufficiently for twisting. If the grey 7M from step 43 could be replaced by {something} where the drivetrain can freely pass (e.g. without hole) it might improve.

I'd like to ask about your play experience with the car: When I push mine forward and then do a maximum steering angle to turn I always notice a considerable increase in friction from the push. Did anybody else notice this? It was not reported in any of the most prominent reviews. My guess: there is a 7M beam with four 16tooth gear as a transmission of the rear steering towards the front. The drive shaft passes through of of the gears. When steering, this beam might twist and thus partially lead to increased friction. Yet I haven't taken the car apart to check.

Hi, we had some questions on troubleshootings in the past: Is there anything similar to your model?

Brickset is not hosting instructions. there are only links to the (original) resources. As for the 42009 B-model example: Brickset points towards this location: https://www.lego.com/cdn/product-assets/product.bi.additional.extra.pdf/42009_X_42009 Reach Stacker 1 of 5.pdf This download startet for me a couple of minutes ago.

No. But you can fool the app during calibration of the winches by simulating earlier (= remove the load) or later (= pull the rope) end stops. I moderately extended the booms (+5 segments in total) and the winches still work with the models App. However, I did not do any serious play. If you use a different string: It might be that the apps is somehow aware of it diameter as I noticed that the cable calibration is geeting worse with extended operation. To create your own programs (sequences) there is a App called PoweredUp.

Has anybody seen information whether the new owners of Brickshelf will restore acces to user accounts and allow new uploads? I sent out an email to the given contact but got no reply. I don't feel like subscribing to the various platforms just to search for future usage of Brickshelf.

Today is noted that brickshelf is been online again. Folder that I have added since last summer are "published". However, any user login does not seem to be allowed.

I haven't got one assembled but built in the past. According to the photo that I took (from top) the differentials at the front and rear axles are pointing the same way.

Thus: It's a nice usage for the part that I don't use often. Thanks for the tip.

I tried that first but could not come up with an idea how to attach it to the body: that would interfere with the rotor drive train.

I couldn't fully figure out the upper part of the canopy and the tail. This is my attempt: The transmission is working pretty well.

I think it's because your link originates from a http - Server. Today you most likely you need to run a server that does https - "protocol".
