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".

As far as I have seen: no. A folder may have one or more keywords (from a list as well as user input) and also a description.

About delivery time for Part orders from Lego: I placed an order for both Standard and Bestseller parts. Announced delevery time, if I remember correctly was some 6-7 weeks for Standard and 2 weeks for Bestsellers. I contacted the Customer Service mid of december to ask for the shipment dates. The Standard parts then arrived within a couple of days before christmas. For the Bestsellers parts however it took until mid of january.

Just a remark: for me, a high rating number does not correlate with the term good / better / best set. I believe that there is a lot of personal feelings going into the star-rating at brickset. Plus, few people dare to put a low rating (< 3 stars). Consider 8295 for example: Many of the (written) reviews are rather negative on the set. However, it currently has 3.6 stars (from 46 ratings).

In my setup the innermost 3L-friction-pin-with-bush will prevent the gear wheel from turning: (BTW: at Brickset the model has now set number 412502) I built a copy with 3L bars. These will need little force to insert into the knob wheels since they only go in half way.

I did some more modifications to my bush plane: 1. 4-blade Propeller based on this part to have adjustable pitch. This will allow to generate airflow during rotation. (This may reduce the spinning time as some power is used to accelerate the air) 2. Bigger tail rudder (than previous mod) 3. Red & green lights at wing tip and clear one at tail. 4. extended support for tail wheel to raise it by 1 1/2 stud.

I composed a simple rudder setup for the tail: For me it is not necessary to have a fixpoint at the lower end: I have also reduced the unsightly hole in the wings by adding a 1/2 beam (7M) to the 'flaps':

I like what you have improved on the offical set.

The truck is tiny compared to 42128 Tow Truck: It'll also look funny compared to the Volvo truck from 42175. It would matter less if there was only one rear axle as a doule axle indicates a heavy duty truck. On the suggestion of using 49 mm truck tyres: - bigger cabin (orange one is adapted from 8052) - overall width increase from 13L to 15L. However, I think the model has potential for improvement: Because of the 19L and 13L frames the truck chassis does not need many parts: I think it should be feasible to drop the 3x5L lever on the tipping mechanism and move the linear actuator to the upper tier: The left setup works fine for me. The relocation would free space to add a differential on rear axle(s). In the cabin seems to be space to add a 4-cylinder fake engine.

From your Studio file above: There are two 11L beams used for the steered axle. I believe these are too long. I have used 9L ones. It's not easily seem from your rendering but better from below in the digital model that the front wheels are protunding.

That'll improve the tipping 'process': with two 12-tooth gear as shown in my picture above it feels to take ages between the two end positions. Nice. How did you find out about the interior of the cabin? (I gave up) I think there is a brown axle used for door not the red 3L axle-pin-with friction

Steering setup could be pretty basic: (I don't have the 13L frame) The most surprising so far appears to be the wheel cover (from small Bugatti, Part 2459 - new in black?) that is mounted askew. The cabin is simple, effective and stable. The front basically is a sheet on its own. Why do they use this part in black on the door? It's available from the Ford in Dark/Earth Blue. Truck appears - too - dark and dull with dark grey. I decided to add a streak of colour to it:

I believe this could work: Na, it'sprobably four frames: two 19L in the back and two 13 long at the front. (but yes: two left, two right)

Thanks. Please see the Pneumatics section..

I would like to show a modification of the original truck that has been on my mind for a long time. Only in the past weeks I was motivated to build it. I wanted a shorter version of the truck. Instead of keeping all of the functions and try to squeeze them in a smaller space the idea was to drop them: No third rear axle No raise/lower function to the remaining ones simplify the crane: no raise/lower no extension no rotation Side outriggers are not necessary This is where i started And this is the current state (as shown above): I kept the front (left to the green line) and rear section (right of the blue line) from the original truck. All of the mentioned functions were removed and the two units connected: The lime beams, red 3L pins, and 6x4 grey angle beams indicate the new connections. Then I have buildthe rear of the cab. The funnel has been placed behind as there was no space in its original position (I wanted to use the 3x11 curved shell). The final truck is shorter by 14 studs than the 42128 set: Changes on the decorative parts have been made because I don't have the second set of all the required elements.

I could be beneficial to bracket the suggested gears: The extra gears may prevent the load bearing ones to be pushed apart. If you push either of the axles towards the center I'll notice increased resistance on the rotation. so any pushing force towards the center of the gearbox should be avoided.

We had a small chat in the 2025 discussion a couple of days ago. Your chassis is different from my approach.

I've modified the box thing. It can fit a two-pump compressor and an air tank. Operation ist from the outside using a crank: For coupling the tube to the excavator I am using a modified version of this part: I used a small drill to open up in the middle.
