Have you seen Nathanael Kuipers' Brickshelf gallery pictures or this Eurobricks topic about the Concept Car?

Has the entry topic already come out? If not, when is it going to be created?

Nice find! It does look a little yellowed though.

Cool! That would be really cool for you!

That would have been a useful piece for me! They probably couldn't find any use for it...

I think so, yes.

Remember,these don't don't have to be vehicles.

And?

You aren't allowed to use LDD. You could use the LDD instructions feature and build it from there, but digital files aren't allowed.

Are we allowed to paint a certain Lego brick that we don't have the color for?

When is the Entry topic going to be created? I think I will try this...(though I hardly think I can match all these people!) Hmmm.... All kinds of ideas... And I am guessing that you are not allowed to use Lego CAD programs?

A lot of function for such a small thing! Great! What kind of advanced mechanics? Ackerman steering, camber and caster angle, kingpin inclination?

Yes, I always use some kind of longer axle to push those out.

Very smart device! Maybe LEGO can make an app to control PF elements...

Wow! Awesome stuff... Now we just have to put in Sheepo's Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet PDK. Sadly, there are only instructions for the chassis...

These motors look like they are of the older generation... Where can you get these RC units?

That's very generous of him to donate his fantastic MOC.

Hello! Is anyone going to help? I really want help....

I found Akiyuky's automatic crane loader a long time ago and I wanted to know how it worked. I have seriously been observing it the past few days and have discovered how most of it works. Here's the video. More pictures to understand the crane better:http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://legokarakuri.blog91.fc2.com/&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dlego%2Bkarakuri%26biw%3D1103%26bih%3D512 It's in Japanese, so I translated it with Google. It is an OK translation, but I can't really understand it. You should look at this before reading on. Here's the gearbox that you saw in the video. As you can see, in the video, the train came and engaged with the dark gray 24 tooth gear outside of the gear, which drove 2 knobs. There, it drove a differential, driving a 24 tooth gear, and then an 8 tooth gear, and then a 40 tooth gear. The differential also drives a black bevel gear, against the tan one, in the perpendicular angle, which also drives the trapezoid slider. There, it turns at another perpendicular angle and turns two worm gears. One worm gear turns a switch to press a switch on the train(which makes the train go back and forth), and the other turns a slider, making it go back and forth in the gearbox, you can see it when you watch the gearbox carefully. But what does this slider do? I see no connection to it, what is it for? Could you examine this and tell me? Now, when the trapezoid slider moves, it also makes the crane go up and down. But, the crane starts going up before the trapezoid slider passes it. How does it do this? The crane is lifted by chain links, but how does the slider trigger this? I see the grooved cam for the intermittent motion. But, all this does is makes the crane go with the slider after it passes, unless I am wrong. I understand how everything except for the crane lifting and the little slider in the gearbox. Could you please look at this and try to tell me how it works? You don't have to do it, it is a large task. Thank you so much.

You can use the Power Functions Pole Reverser Switch with old Lego 9V electric parts, but you will have to use an adapter cable. You need a 8886 / 60656 "Electric, Power Functions Extension Wire with one Light Bluish Gray End (length 20cm)." The Light Bluish Gray end of the wire connects onto the electrified plate on the old Lego 9V electric parts, and the Dark Bluish Gray end connects to the Power Functions element. You can get the part from Shop.Lego.com ( 8 inch version and 20 inch version) .

That's a nice bike -- welcome to Eurobricks. It will look great in real bricks.

From the Lego EV3 "45502 Large Motor Product Sheet" released in January 2013, we have these specs: * 160-170 rpm (compared to 220 rpm for the Lego Power Functions XL Motor but similar to the NXT motor's 170 rpm per Philo's Motor Comparison webpage http://philohome.com...s/motorcomp.htm ) * Running torque of approximately 30 ounce-inches (equivalent to 21.2 Newton-centimeters) * Stall torque of approximately 60 oz.-in. (equivalent to 42.4 N-cm.). Compare this with the PF XL Motor's stalled torque of 40 N-cm. and the NXT motor's stalled torque of 50 N.-cm. The Lego EV3 "45503 Medium Motor Product Sheet" has these specs: * 240-250 rpm (slower than the PF Medium Motor's 405 rpm) * Running torque of approximately 11 oz.-in. (equivalent to 7.8 N-cm.) * Stalled torque of approximately 17 oz.-in. (equivalent to 12 N-cm). Compare this to the PF M-motor's stalled torque of 11 N-cm.

I made an LDD file of the 40079 Mini Camper Van (for those who want to fool around with alternate designs virtually) -- see attached. I used the inventory on Rebrickable; note that there are two extra parts and no sticker set. 40079 Mini Camper Van.lxf

I like your Lunar Rover III, but it must be heavy with those two battery boxes:
