I have never experienced that. Don't dip the tubes in oil. You want the rubber tubing to be as tight and secure or they will pop off when under pressure. I slip this over the tube to clamp down seal on the pneumatic piston.

I found this tread it is over 2 years old And it shows how to connect Two Ir receivers together in parallel. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=45953

All you need is a soldering iron and you can soften the lift arms and bend them. Even though I have never done any bending on Lego. This is how you could do it.

I made this governor for my transmission. So far I have no clue how to connect everything together.

Wow, these new small gears look heavy duty. I cant wait to get me a set.

I am not trying to get credit for anything but rather show you how to properly connect two battery boxes together and understand why it is safe for the IR receiver and motors. It not like I specifically said build a helicopter with this. I want everyone to be able to know about this and use it with out fear.

That is a nice ship. Good luck with the complete studless construction. Oh wait I see two yellow studs.

This time I have a the old style axle connectors on the red clutch rings. I have also made a gearshift lever for each of the red clutch rings.

Great job on putting this together. I think it is neat that Lego had thought of a interior lighting on a church set back in the 50s. It just shows you how long the idea to incorporated electricity with Lego has been. Wow I can't believe this, 50$ for a 1x6 Lego brick.

@Zblj: I really hope you succeed with this flying machine.

This is a Lego Vacuum engine I made. It is made of 100% Lego. Each cylinder is specially made of one common design and is connected both to the main Air block and the Frame. The Air block has a internal channel which air can flow through. The frame sets the proper 60 degree angle for all the cylinder. I have built a F4, V4, V8, W6, Y6, X8, and this 6-cylinder radial using the same cylinders pistons and valves just like the fake Lego car engine.

Hi LiamM32,There are many barriers to get past. I like the fact that the LP engine uses air as a source of energy. However, almost every air tool is a air turbine. Lego would haft to make a Air turbine to get the same results.

That is a cool truck. Very old indeed. He used a sliding 24 tooth gear to get it to work.

Understood.

Yes.

I have a 5 speed Transmission with a over drive gear and reverse in Lego of course and still is a work in progress. I have the input shaft directly connected to a motor shaft and the transmission output shaft is connect to a speed computer displaying the Rpm as I manually engage each gear. This was a test to see the high speed effect on the gears and the sliding gear engagement. What do you think about the Lego transmission and the overall capabilities.

The Multi color bricks look neat. They should make skittles like that.

I start with the 9398 and how the flex is removed by having this horizontal connection. Now on this truck there is no horizontal beam connection like the crawler has.. This is what things look like when you have all four tires on flat ground. Now when you start to put the suspension to use. The vertical beam will begin to flex. You can use your mouse arrow to measure the distances on the two beams in the two pictures and see that the bottom one is definitely closer.

I can show you some flex just let me take a picture real quick like.

Wow that is awesome! The new wheel hubs that are on the back have the possibility to be a solid axle when you swap the dark grey part with the one on the portal hubs. This is Really great for a rally truck.

The new hubs look neat. Unlike the portal hubs you have a front and a back on these. Is it just another extension on the CV joint or can you put an axle through these hubs too.

Amazing! Welcome to the future.

I like the 3 speed gear box. Nice to see it in action. I am building one and I am going to test how much it can take.

Hi Antonio, I dont think you can connect two of these boxes together to make 9 volts with out some cutting and rewiring. Also trying to power some lights with this battery is excessive and they would not be that bright at 4.5v. The old 9 volt battery box would be better at lighting a set of lights than that clunk. Hope this will help you
