    Hi. Please don't quote images. Especially when they are big and on the same page. Thanks!!

    I’m hoping it will be on my desk within a day or two.

    I meant “would not” btw

    So I took the bull by the horns and started working on a new design. Slightly smaller, so less empty space around the wheels. But with two motors, so still pretty bulky. And I did end up with a somewhat modular design. But it's simply easier to design one wheel element and copy it three times. I just need to make sure the center will be sturdy enough. Adding a layer on top will probably make it sturdy enough.

    Moved the Bugatti Media Kit to my Google Drive as well. So if you weren't able to download it, you can now.

    Sorry for bumping my old topic, but since we discussed it in another topic, I was going through it again. And I found it worth mentioning that I recently acquired two more EV3 sets. So for the base I will have a setup of two Large Motors per wheel and two EV3 units. I have rechargeable batteries for all my EV3 units, but I do need to get myself an extra power plugs. Or three extra plugs, so I can charge simultaneously. I am aiming at making a rotating body, using the BWE gearracks in black (Rough Terrain Crane). I have two EV3 units for the upper body. After the reviews of the 2H 2018 Technic sets, I will try to reinvigorate this project. I simply can't let all this EV3 potential go to waste. By the way; some design decisions; I have abandonded the modular concept for the base, because I will probably never make any other modules and the base needs to be strong enough. There's no need for it to be modular. I will not think about the exterior/bodywork of the robot, until I have finished the chassis. I will try to use mostly the same elements as in the original EV3 set. Which means black beams, red connectors, white panels etc.

    Cool. I think the rule is pretty straightforward and won't generate too much discussion, so I have added it to the first topic.

    Basically, it's the big project I will probably never get arount to finish hehe. I made a promise to myself to create a big robot, using my EV3 units. I have invested quite a bit and I do need to do some interesting stuff with it. The link to the topic is in my signature, or simply click here. PS I forgot that I need to use axles to connect to the wheels, so attaching the motor directly to the turntable doesn't solve anything. But it's working looking into anyway.

    I think the word you are looking for is casualties...instead of complaints

    Since we do like to see water rides, I think we will be pretty lenient when it comes to using water. So I am thinking something along the lines of... "You can use non-LEGO elements for containing and/or transferring/transporting water" How does that sound? Let's do this!

    Dude, that is awesome! Off-topic: Now that I see how you have attached the motors to the large turntable, I might want to reconsider using axles for my big EV3 robot. Maybe I also need to attach them directly to avoid strain on the axles.

    Thanks buddy!

    Jim replied to Bod9nou's topic in LEGO Train Tech

    Very nice work! But I don't think it fits the Scale Modeling Forum. I will move it to Trains.

    I love to see all the WIP topics! Thanks for sharing.

    I fixed the heights of the interactive images. You will be able to see them now in Safari. Thanks for pointing it out. I already had forgotten about this issue.

    It's one reserve, in case one of the gears fails Thanks, corrected. I noticed (with the help of a former ambassador, who's name shall not be mentioned) that I used cilinder instead of cylinder. Yup. Well, it's info from the press release. US $349.99 – CA $399.99 – FR 379.99€ – DE 369.99€ – UK £329.99 – DK 3199DKK @All Thanks for the kind words. Writing a review, when the set is already available, can be kind of demotivating, but seeing the enthusiast posts with kind words is PRICELESS. (don't get me wrong; I also love the posts from people who don't agree or have another opinion)

    We are currently looking into the water rules. We do love to see water rides, but it’s hard to contain with LEGO parts, so it will need non-LEGO containment. We will get back to you guys on this one.

    I see that the Bugatti link has been suspended due to traffic LoL. Need to move it to Google Drive.
  20. Jim
    Of course! Thankd
  21. Jim
    Ahhh I remember it again. It was due to lack of height on the element. I will correct it tomorrow. Thanks. It needs to be set explicitly.
  22. Jim
    The links have been added. Both Media Kits are downloadable. Some cool information in it.

    Please, no clone brand discussion here.

    True. BWE. 42069 also kinda neat. 42039 and 42038. I think we are doing more than okay in the B-model department.
