Good parts packs
1gor replied to dougstar's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
If you need tractor tires + lot of parts I suggest 42054 because it has almost 2000 parts and is slightly more expensive than 42081... -
We will see later; when you upload image you can open image at bricksafe with max 1024 resolution and just copy / paste url here and image will be displayed

If you want something, hen you have to offer something for it. So if you want some help it would be correct from you to publish images. If you do not know how, the simplest way is to make bricksafe or Flickr gallery and paste images with max resolution 1024 here; otherwise you could not expect someone to help you

Technic General Discussion

It has many details...and ZEUX is (IMHO) simpler build. -
I have used 49.5 tire on that kind of setup, but do not have images of it. I'm using older gear rack on this setup(I have one half narrow beam here between differential and CV-joints), but with C-frame from Unimog U400 you can use new 7 studs long gear rack... Go take a rest; I 'll have interesting day with rain that is frosting on cold surfaces and have to drive some 100 miles to pick up results of ultrasound for my mother, after that I have to fix boiler so LEGO today is (most likely) only in mind...

42100 Liebherr R9800 Excavator
1gor replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
No you're not, there is no way to force them to give it up, and this alternative (environment friendly) sources sound very nice, but as always in real life if you want something you have to loose something; question is only what are you ready to loose? but I think that Liebherr company takes environment friendly development very serious as you can see in brochure on page 14, 15, 16 and 17 (there is also possibility to have excavator with 2 electric motors each with 1700kW) -

That sounds plausible -

1gor replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
People will always need energy and this talk about environment is actually talk about taxes, did anyone ask him/herself how much does cost (and pollutes environment) disposal of batteries from electro-mobiles after the reach their end of life? Technology will be always be there as long humans need energy; and btw there is a version with 2 gigantic electro powerplants on excavator not just 2 V16 engines... -

@Shiva, first if all I'm very sorry for permanent disability I'm temporary (with my left eye, but it could be fixed with LASIK...one day when it stabilizes). I have also one finished moc which will be redesigned in few weeks and one is currently under construction, but unfortunately none if them us crane... perhaps one day with 94.3 tires... Regards -

Obsession with build times
1gor replied to HeresJohnnny's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Very well written; LEGO should be enjoyable hobby and what is enjoyable should last as long as possible. If you set some kind of requirements like mandatory time to be built than hobby could end in frustration. -

1gor replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
To me it looks like LIebherr is some 1:35 scale, but I could be wrong -
I do not use RC parts much, just for some functions because I have cat that is very sensitive (he was few months small orphan when we found him in 20+cm of snow) and my terrier (who you can see on my Avatar) does not like that sound and makes noises that are going on nerves of my wife, so I have very interesting situation and have only for 2 fully RC mocs enough PF elements

68.7 look better, but I'm not a big fan on this tread on Baloon tires (I have 12 Power pullers in box and some 20 94,8x44 and who knows how much 81,6x38 and 10-12 68.7x34), so perhaps 68.8 x 38 or typical 62,4 truck tire will be more appropriate? Perhaps one friendly advice to very good friend; I always start from tire options of real vehicle and then I see what LEGO tire / wheel combo is optimal compromise and then I scale to wheel/tire combo the rest of my build (that is why I build very slow because I have always several variants until I find best solution) Regard Vic
