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".

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
