When I purchased the rock crusher xt's 1.9's I was looking for wheels which required two rims per tire. I'm glad you found me an answer, they look great. And yes power pullers do weigh a lot but are still good to own. For functionality yes tall skinny tires with tread will be best but I just love the look of wide monster truck tires. :) -
Solid leaf-springs
750ACE replied to jorgeopesi's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
In June of 2010 Nico made a Jeep with Flex Axles for Leaf Springs. I am surprised no one else mentioned his creation. http://www.nico71.fr/jeep-4x4x4/ -
PF Switch - recommended uses?
750ACE replied to SteveNesta's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I do not see how that is high or low gear. If one motor is idle and the other one is spinning the idle motor is actually causing strain on the spinning motor. When both are coupled and running the same rpm you are not in any sort of higher gear you are only adding torque. -

Why an F150? Super Duty F250 or F350 looks much better in the front. -

Solid leaf-springs
750ACE replied to jorgeopesi's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I built a moc with flex axles and it worked great. I fixed them on the axle different. If I can find the old pictures I'll post them or I'll rebuild the modules to show. I can't see bending plates. Most truck leaf springs are curved, I could be wrong though. -
Does that exclude shipping back to Australia and possible customs fees?

You post quite a bit of non-lego nonsense. -

I recently purchased 2 XL motors from Lego direct. I noticed one of the motors has a higher pitched sound, almost a slight grind. It spins up faster and slows down slower than the other XL motor which sounds smooth and stops quicker. Has anyone noticed differences between one motor to the next? When direct coupling motors without a differential one motor will be straining more than the other which can't be good. I am curious if I should contact Lego about this noise and speed variance between the two.

I registered for the birthday club as well as the online emails and rewards program. My kids even signed up, doesn't mean they get to keep the coupons, haha. http://www.geoffreysbirthdayclub.com/ My coupon reference is only valid on non sale items but does not exclude technic. I wish technic had more sales, am I missing them? Everytime they have a $20 off of $75 Constructions sets it says excludes Technic. Toys R Us are the kings of promotion diversion (sales you cannot use). I receive about (5) 20% coupons in the mail & email yearly. I purchased the 8109 a couple of months ago with a 20% coupon from the mail. Tons of fine print but Technic hasn't been excluded lately.
