LEGO® CUUSOO 空想 - Turn your model wishes into reality
Meatman replied to CopMike's topic in General LEGO Discussion
I said it before and I'll say it again, Cuusoo needs to eliminate the pictures of the top 6 projects on the home page. Those are the projects that are receiving the most supports every week. This isn't fair to everyone else who has a project that is buried. And what is the point of another Zelda project? -
Finally got my book. It is awesome! Great job to all of those involved in making this happen.

Peterbilt 379 & CAT C15
Meatman replied to Sheepo's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Actually the Vampire Gt gearbox operates very smoothly, in fact it is much much smoother than the typical 8448/8466 gearbox setup, especially in reverse. This is primarily based on the fact that he used liftarms to keep the gears uniform and didn't use 1/2 stud offsets. But I agree, if you would add 3 times the amount of gears, it would seem that you would get a great deal of binding at some point. But then again, if it is built properly and everything is aligned using liftarms, then I would imagine that everything will work no matter how many gears that you add, which is probably what Sheepo did here. From my experimentation with various gearboxes and such, I have noticed that the ones that tend to have a lot of friction are ones where perpendicular connectors are used because they have a tendency to not stay true on the axle that is supporting them, thus leading to a bind up from time to time. -

Seeing Paul's 1:10 scale car nest to your 1:10 scale truck reminds me of Smokey and the Bandit. -

This is in my opinion, the greatest Lego Technic model ever built by anyone. -

Someone built one a few years ago. -
Whoa...Suddenly I like 8145

The 14L axles are rare too. This model require a good bit of them as well. Especially since 16 ones don't exist and must be made out of 14s. -

I don't get why people feel the need to post these teaser pics. -

LEGO® CUUSOO 空想 - Turn your model wishes into reality
Meatman replied to CopMike's topic in General LEGO Discussion
I would say that a very large majority of the supports for that project have absolutely no intentions of ever buying it if it were made into an actual set. They only supported because it was more of a school spirit thing to do. -
Technic 1h 2013
Meatman replied to sama's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I think the Grand Prix racer will be right around the same price as the 8070 supercar. Maybe a bit less since it has no power functions. -
