Technic 2022 Set Discussion
1gor replied to Technicallism's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
You gentleman discuss about second half set and we don't know about first half for sure what all sets will be... Either I'm to patient or you are to much ahead of our time -

Then Lambo is your choice (I suppose Xerion doesn't have enough parts needed for your future MOC). Have fun building it and I'm looking forward when you will present it. -

Technic General Discussion
1gor replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
There are few questions that came to my mind; - what kind of MOC do you plan to make? - what color should it be (remember that Bugatti has 2 different colors... oh and Lamborghini has 50 shades of lime)? -

I understand, 42128 could be a template for motorized flagship...but I think this is no place for speculations; we have future vishes...topic for that... let's see what future brings -
Systems tractors and other machinery
1gor replied to 1gor's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
It works another question is weather this harder tire has less grip on soft surfaces, but I don't plan to run tractor outside... Sadly I can't make video because I need extra hands for that purpose, also I don't recommend this to someone who doesn't have strength in fingers. Let's say I have some experience with Lego tire modifications in the past... After kitten will be few months older I'll start to work (again) on Fastrac 8 series chassis...(it will be more compact than current 4 series and will end up packed with motors...) I'll probably stole idea for front wheel steering with m-motor from @Ngoc Nguyen's PF modification of Zetros...to save space in central part to install technic battery box. You can read dimensions on digital caliper...- 625 replies

Well @Technicallism it would nice to have Scania as flagship - tow truck? -
Systems tractors and other machinery
1gor replied to 1gor's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Since @Jundis noticed that new Zetros tires will be ideal for SynTrac, to make Fastrac in appropriate scale I needed tractor tires with 87 to 94mm diameter. So in the meantime (when babysitting my 4 months old kitten) I got an idea for 1:18 scale Fastrac 8330. Rear tires are no specific problem (710/70R38 have 1959mm diameter and in 1:18 scale this is about 109mm which can easily be done with putting 94.8 balloon tire inside CLAAS tire and on standard wheel racing medium 56x34mm), but what about front tires? At the moment of writing this post I have not a slightest optimismus that Lego will produce tractor tire with 94mm diameter. So last few months I have thinking how to stretch Zetros tire but maintain correct shape...and I need at least 87mm for 1:18 scale (as you can see on image below smallest front tire is 540/65R34 - tire with 1566mm overall diameter). My idea is to put tire 24 x 43 from 851 set inside Zetros tire to maintain bigger diameter. 24 x 43 is narow 82mm tire that if fited inside Zetros tire (which usas you know 81mm) could give needed diameter. So I've put it inside and there is tire with 87.5mm diameter (just need to fit Zetros tire nicely to sides and problem is solved - at least this one). Any comments (specially from purists) are welcome- 625 replies

I'm awaiting to see Mustang and specially Deere 9x (if it will be (most likely with Jeep tires)), but still curious what will be 42139 (with 764 pieces)... (I hope that vegetarians are not reading; but El Toro associates me with either Lamborghini or with lunch...) Besides I have only bag full of balloon tires. -

Truck with those tires will be huge (21studs to maintain proportions), or smaller (eventually crane) trucks with 2 or 3 axles mainly manual will be of interest. -

1gor replied to Technicallism's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Agree, it is probably most realistic tire/wheel combination of them all. Sure I like tractor tires (as mainly tractor builder) but still missing 68 and 94 tractor tires to make use of most parts that I have in my inventory... At least if TLC rereleases tractor with trailer (like Lego set 8063) it would be very nice. -

As you can see here not all seta are technic sets containing this tire. Since there is new "wave" of movie based licensed sets we could think that 62.4 tire could reaper in such set; as new steering wheel appeared in ghost busters car...and then in Ford and in new batmobile... -

Currently anything I can do in my free time is to take care of 3.5 months old kitten... I'm affraid he can swallow smaller parts since he is extremely curious; today he was studying hot tea smoke and found out that tea breath is not interesting at all- 5,504 replies

Thank you very much; this thing was bothering me for a while; I have overlaying both steering wheels in Photoshop to gain approximate dimensions, but the way you show it is much better. Now I have to think about how to make 86-87mm tractor tire to maximize parts use that I have in my inventory.- 5,504 replies
