I think you understand, I am probably the one getting confused. If you have 1 receiver set on channel 1 with 2 motors hooked up to it and the controller set on channel 1 then does the left hand side lever on the controller only operate 1 motor and the right hand side lever operate the other motor so you can run 1 motor at a time on the controller without having to change the channel on the receiver. -

Wont I have to run 4 receivers?, I have 8 rams and want to only control 2 at a time, so 1 switch will only operate 2 rams and so on. The receivers will be hidden so I won't be able to change the channels on them. -

Dhc6twinotter what is the pressure regulator?. So it will have 2 xl motors for the drive, 5 m-motors for the pumps and pneumatic switches and 2 sets of lights. Will 1 battery box handle all of that?. To have 4 m motors individually controlled how many controllers will I need for that?, I am planning on using a Speed controller for the drive and steering. -

Alasdiar Ryan that is not a bad idea, for 8 rams what would I need?, 4 pumps, 4 switches, 4 M-motors, 2 more controllers and 2 receivers, 2 battery boxes?. I might have to try and fit it all together. -
I am looking to build a Komatsu D575A like Zbiczasty's. I have brought a second hand 8275 Bulldozer so will be using parts off that. I wan't to do the steering and drive the same as that so will be using the 2 XL motors, but I wan't to use 8 pneumatic rams for the blade and ripper and was thinking of running long hoses to a hand controller which will have all the switches and pumps on it. There is a few machines in the Heavy Machinery Collection thread that run pneumatics with a whole lot of hoses running out of them. Does anyone have any pics of the controller setups?.

New Zealand: "Where to find Lego"
technicfan replied to Legoman's topic in Buy, Sell, Trade and Finds
I brought a 9443 Ninjago Rattlecopter yesterday 20% off at Toyworld in The Base so only $47 which was the cheapest that I have found. Good to see that Toyworld at the base had 2x 10221Super Star Destroyer for $899 and 2x 10188 Death Star for $956 -
What sort of truck does the 8258 crane truck best represent?. I want to change mine to a Scania, what would be the best changes to achieve that?.

Ejector problem?.
technicfan replied to technicfan's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Cool thanks. It took me ages to come up with the idea with the u joints because everything else I used didn't work. This is sort of my 1st moc. I have built the hauler the same as Han's but changed the body and am putting this E-Ject trailer on the back of it. It will use this motor for the ejector and a pneumatic ram for the apron. I have stuck a compressor on the back of the hauler. -
Ejector problem?.
technicfan replied to technicfan's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I sort of understand. There is nowhere else to put the motor though because the panel on top slopes down to the end of the trailer. Like I have said if I put thin liftarms under the studless beams that seems to work ok. Just out of intrest do you think the u joint setup and 2 gears looks ok. It seems to work fine. -

Only 5 studs wide aswell. Hope this helps: -
Ejector problem?.
technicfan replied to technicfan's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
That setup is too tall to fit under the worm gear, I am trying to fit it into a small space. It also has a medium motor mounted directly on top of the worm gear and I had to use 4 u-joints going to a seperate bank with 2 gears to drive the worm gear. I think if I place thin liftarms under the studless beams that shound work. -
Ejector problem?.
technicfan replied to technicfan's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I was already using a 1x studded beam with 2x studless beams on either side. You are right It is sitting on 2x grey frames and the worm gear is 4 studs high. What plates did you mean?, having a look do you think it would work if I lay thin liftarms under the studdless ones?. -
I am building a Cat E-Ject trailer for my hauler and am using worm gear setup to eject the plate to push the product out. I am using a studded beam with the teeth on top but the worm gear seems to be about 1/2 a millimetre to high so it won't grip the teeth. I am using studless parts for the rest. I am using the 1 x 5 x 11 plates for the bin and everything seems to be 1/2 to 1/4 of a stud out?.
