I would have a bad feeling if the spring was always compressed. If there is no spring travel at all, you can replace a spring with two 1x6 thin technic beams...

Maybe: https://rebrickable.com/parts/3700/technic-brick-1-x-2-1-hole/ or https://rebrickable.com/parts/18677/plate-special-1-x-2-with-pin-hole-underneath/ or https://rebrickable.com/parts/32529/technic-pin-connector-plate-with-one-hole-single-on-bottom/

I think the Ford and Batcycle are amazingly priced for Lego. I would even say they are a good deal and there will be discounts on the market :). I will still continue to buy used Lego or order parts that I need

I really like the idea and just looked for Duplo trains at Lego... Lego sells a Duplo Digi Train with 234 pieces aimed at 2-5 years for 304.99€. This price is just insane unless the thing can fly

Is there more than one source for the Liebherr price? If not, let's wait and see.... It will certainly be expensive, but the question is how stupid expensive I think :)

I guess the available Lego springs are just to stiff for the tiny weight of a Lego bike. Before the springs gets compressed the whole bike just gets lifted (inertia and stuff). As Lego springs are actual springs without a damper they are not really close the really deal anyway.

Hello, regarding the front suspension. I don't think it's too far off. If you push a motorcycle from the top down (I don't know how to explain it better), the suspension would also bend, because it doesn't work that way. If you drive the motorcycle over a small obstacle or hole, the suspension will compress or push out. The suspension is there to absorb shocks from the road in order to function properly. At least that's how I think it works :) On a motorcycle the suspension doesn't bend when the rider gets on, or it's pushed down a little from above, as it is freakin' rigit an not made of ABS.

Hi, Ngoc Nguyen. If the BWE needs to run smoother I suggest the mod of jb 70. The mod also speeded mine up as It is not as jerky as it was anymore :)

8880 has a 4 speed gearbox and 4WD

My guess is that he imports the 3d models of the parts from another program like stu.io into solidedge. Then builds the model in solidedge. It looks like solidege can generate the 3d pdf without further work. Thus making standard instructions would be additional work and maybe even difficult if such a function is not available in solidedge like it is in stud.io

Hey, there is a similar effect on some of my models which spend their time in a display case and are thus dust protected. Most of them are RC and used to play every now and then. Recently I took 42030 for a ride and it was really driving slow/bad. I always remove all batteries when putting the models away as I had problems with leaking batteries before thus the used batteries were new. After some research I believe that creeping of the plastic is one of the problems. Creeping (could be wrongly translated by me) means the plastic deforms under load over time. I think the whole models "creeps" and thus beams, axles and gears change their shape a tiny bit over time. All those tiny changes add up and cause friction in the drivetrain. If a model is disasamble and put back together the problem disappears because only the pieces which the highest load 'creeped' and are most probably put into different places which don't add up causing problems anymore. Hope this makes sense as it is only a theory :) There are compressed air sprays which are often used to clean keyboards or similar. Has anyone ever tried such a spray to remove dust from Lego?

Played the game back in the days and totally admire your build. The details and technics used are awesome

Hello, I think I was lucky. 95€ for some Lego. Few pieces missing and some dust, but only selling 8275 would pay for the lot :)

Is possible to control a technic hub with a NXT Brick? The idea is to use for example the Joystick from Philo to control the 42124 Off-Road Buggy, since both use Bluetooth.

I really like the style and looks of the bike but the headline is just clickbait. Why not call it it hubless full RC bike as it is a hubless full RC bike. About riding a motorcycle. Steering is done with countersteering or leaning. At very low speeds or when pushing it around you can actually steer by turning the handlebar but you will fail at speeds just above walking.. Your bike is not steered like a bike. Sorry.

I support a Defender successor and all I ask for is a new, more realistic, better working steering system! I really can't stand the current steering with the wheel rolling around a steering point somewhere next to the tire. The Defender wheels are a step into the right direction and the Batmobile with virtual pivot ist nice but there is still room for improvement :)

I really like those figure and luckily own a few but some lost a leg or an arm as the joints broke :( Did anyone try to rebuild those figures out of Lego (technic) parts? Maybe using parts from Bionicle or the buildable figures? Would also be awesome if they could be build in different scales to match 42030, 42043 or 8043

Question regarding the yellow springs. The picture on the Cada pages shows the pinholes in a 90° angle to each other... Can you confirm this?

There was a issue with the actuators and some sets had v1 infrared receivers and some v2. I don't recall any other differences thus I am surprised by the rebrickable inventories. If you manage to get the faulty actuators it is a cheap fix (buy some new actuator:) compared to the price of the set in a sealed box and it should work with v1 and v2 receivers. Why are you so interested in the version?

I would expect to have no colour deviations at all. Doesn't matter if visible or not. This is just poor quality

The German Youtuber build, as far as I remember, a copycat version by a Chinese manufacturer. There is quite some positive feedback on this moc: Rebrickable link thus I believe it works fine.

The mould king 6.0 tend to overheat at the metal contact of the battery box. Looks like the contact surface is to small or the contact is simply not good. When there his more power needed this bottleneck heats up (very simple description) if you add more volts, more power can be drawn and you get more heat. More heat and plastic does not work out. Don't add a more powerful battery without changing the other components which could cause trouble!

I am also looking for simple, affordable Lego (compatible) RC components with a controller and proportional steering. The latest mould king controller/ receiver/ battery components look like a good solution (as Lego isn't supporting PF anymore I don't mind buying other brands). But there is some information on melting and burning mould King battery boxes thus I would not add a battery with high voltage... .

I am sorry but Lego is not the nice company next door which wants to make the world a better place... They are big business and make as much money as possible. No printed b model instructions saves money, lot's of money. Less development costs (the designer makes something which makes even more money), no print costs, less internal logistics, cheaper shipping as weight is saved (100k * 150g per set...) etc.. If someone shows the benefit of no b model, Lego will try it. Maybe start with some sets without and some with instructions for comparison. Looks like it is not beneficial to add printed b model instructions to most models. In my mind this is the sad story of loosing b models. Prints: same story, save money. Colour vomit, save money. All black parts lead to more complaints about build failures (unhappy customer) and 'lost part' claims (as Lego ships lost parts without long discussion, colour vomit pays of for sure as it is harder to mix parts). It is all about making more money wether we like it or not...
