Mortymore

I loved your Sonic And I must say that I'm one of those who don't appreciate Bionicle. Sorry but I can't help to deer to ask if it's possible to provide a list of the part used, and more detailed pictures of the head assembly. Thank you so much for shearing. Regards. PS: My idea is to look for the parts at bricklink and build 2 of them. One for my daughter and another for a neighbour kid.

Here goes the rest of the big Technic pics http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Mortymor...telehandler.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Mortymor...lehandler_2.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Mortymor...excavator_b.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Mortymor...048_buggy_b.jpg Regards PS: All images were posted on TechnicBricks And by the way... today (Oct/11) is the 2nd anniversary of TechnicBrick. Happy birthday TechnicBricks.

Today I worked out some images from Amazon, in Photoshop. At my BS folder (when moderated): http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=405026 Direct links for images (since my BS folder may take some time to be moderated) http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Mortymor..._helicopter.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Mortymor...elicopter_b.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Mortymor...i_excavator.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Mortymor..._8048_buggy.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Mortymor...048_buggy_2.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Mortymor...9_logloader.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Mortymor...logloader_2.jpg For now it's what I have done. Enjoy Regards

I plugged the lights directly to the battery box so they come on and off as I turn the power switch. But you can make them turn on and off only when the vehicle is moving by plugging the lights over the drive motor connector, plugged on the receiver. That way, only when you move the vehicle forward and backwards, the light will come on. Thanks for your comments, but be advised that this is still a WIP, and far from being perfect. On the other hand, I used a lot more parts than the original 8262, and just on Power Function elements, it would cost more than the 8262 itself. So if LEGO had brought something like this to the market, it wouldn't be cheap. Regards

I loved the Biczzz Bandit buggy. Your is no motorized and was made form parts and colours available, but has also is magic, and have to work with limited parts available increase the challenge. I liked the wire frame structure, and the mixed colours makes it a funny buggy. Glad to know that it's sturdy despite the fragile look of something mostly made from axles and connectors. But since you consider it a WIP, keep up the good work. Regards

I bought the Quad Bike 8262, but what I really liked was the B model, Buggy. Since what I really enjoy is motorizing Technic stuff, that was my idea for the Buggy, so at this point I have almost a MOC. I'm not happy with some details, and for that reason I still call this a WIP, though I consider it presentable. It's also my intention to get him a younger brother, next year, when I get my hands on buggy 8048. Actually, the idea that would be cool to have 2 motorized buggy's, was what made me buy the 8262, and start all this. I kept a few assembly steps of the original 8262, but apart from that, it's a new arrangement. Steering moved to front, and I'm using rubber bands to accomplish a return-to-center steering, though I intend to move to a x928cx1 when I have one. The Power functions used were, 1 battery box 8881, 1 light 8870, 2 M motors 8883, 1 IR receiver 8884, and 1 remote control 8885. BS (when moderated): http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=404499 Youtube: This was my first attempt to built a complete vehicle by myself, or as I like to think of it, the first step in TruckTrial direction. I'm learning. Regards

At this point I'm considering writing a novel that probably will be called "The puzzling beep" Thanks everybody for the interest on such an almost insignificant matter, but rather curious at the same time. Thanks especially to Conchas for all the effort to solve "the puzzling beep". Well, if it's costume made, I think with the right buzzer and a simple 555 oscillator circuit, that could be achieved, but I'd prefer to have all LEGO solution or otherwise I'll always be thinking I was cheating. Regards

Thanks for your time and trouble to do all the testing, Conchas. Appreciated Regards

I "stumbled" on a great video on youtube, of the 4th ITLUG Legofest di Ballabio 2009 Other than being a great video, I was curious about the beep that sounds when most trucks and loaders are reversing. You will ear it if you pay attention. I went to bricklink and peeron, searching for a beep sound brick, but I couldn't guess witch brick could actually be doing that sound. Does someone here know how that sound is made? And if it's a sound brick, what's is reference? Thanks in advance. Regards

If there's actually M (medium) and XL (extra-large) motors, sure they left room for an S (and maybe an L too), or otherwise they should have call them something like, small and large. In my car I can use a XL for driving, and an M for steering, but what should I use for my wind-shield wipers? Clearly there's a small motor missing in the PF family. A servo motor, as already mentioned, would be nice also. Regards

Regards

This is an amazing work of art. Congratulations. Regrads PS: This should be punished by law.

I just finish motorizing my 8265 Front Loader according to Attila's instructions: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=399314 I found that the way Attila installs the motor in front of the Loader, makes some stress to some parts, so I did it in some slightly different way, as you can see at my BS folder: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=404546 I'm not quite happy with the results since somewhere at the final assembly steps I think I might have cause some sort of problem because my Loader gags a bit when it starts to move forward or backwards. So it still's a WIP. Regards

LOL Very well reminded. Lets start the race to Bricklink, shell we? Regards PS: On LEGO PAB, they don't have them available.

I'm pleased to see that "The pneumatics strikes back" because, in LEGO terms, I considerer myself as belonging to what I call "the Power Functions generation", and so, I never had a chance to play with pneumatics. Since I don't intend to invest on second hand sets, or extra expensive new old ones, I would fail the pneumatics experience. Well... seems that I will get my chance to play with pumping air things, with the 8049 (Tractor with Log Loader). Regards

For the 8049 Forest Tractor with Crane model, I'd like to see one hexapode like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gk-yQ1H3M8 And sure... a motorized one! Regards

I fell in love with this set as soon as I saw it, and it was responsible for taking me out of a Dark Age of around 15 years . So it really means something to me. When I bought it at S@H, I bought also some extra power functions because my intention from the beginning was to motorize the Cherry Pick even further, and remote control it. If you're interested, is my first attempt to fully motorize the basket, and a MOD for the B version.I also bought recently the 8264 Hauler, and for my country, at S@H it costs more €10 than the 8292, but to me it worth less €10 than the Cherry Picker and it is far less technical. Thanks for the great review. Regards

I took some time to try to build the cover version of the Bulldozer 856, and to take some pictures of him. To do that, start deassembling the bucket, and then it goes something like this: Next, are the extra parts from the bucket that weren't needed. More on BS when moderated: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=406653 Regards PS: Maybe this isn't exactly what LEGO intended, but it seems to work.

I believe that you don't have to do much more than just not assemble the bucket, and work with those remaining parts in order to place the 2 plates 4x12 side by side, were the bucket was to be placed. If you go to peeron to look for the 856, you'll get the parts list and you could see the rubber band, part x88, and get an idea of it's size. That's just the way you describe it. It happens the same to me, now that I replaced the old chewed gear rack for new ones. With the old gear racks that I have, with some teeth marks on them, the bucket wouldn't fell so easily because the little bumps on the racks caused some friction. So now you know a way to improve your bulldozer 856 performance. Give those racks a bite, and wile you have your teeth on the job, do the same on the tiles placed below the racks, those slippery bastards Regards

You caught me on the tight curve. I know almost nothing about mechanics, but at least I know it's not possible to have a V without 2 branches. So I suppose it crossed my (LEGO) mind that it was possible to conceive a V1 from ripping off one piston to a V2, and let rest the remain piston at the original inclined position It was just a matter of speech (not good, I know). Thanks for your reply. Regards PS: By the way... I'll take the opportunity to thank you for your priceless work with Technicopedia.

This was a simple MOC I made for my son, but with the intent of making the best looking kart I was able. I spent most of the construction time to make a front bumper I be happy with. The Kart has a V2 motor, though I know the karts usually use just a 1 cylinder motor, and so, to make some purist happy, later I made a version of a more realistic motor, though I still prefer the V2 V2 version V1 version BrickShelf: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=435249 I know this isn't a great MOC for the experts, but I'm just starting with Technic from scratch after a 15 years DarkAge. For some reason I just felt compelled to share my humble work here. Enjoy

I'm presenting my MOD to LEGO Technic Cherry Picker, B model. This was my first Technic set post dark-age, and since I put my eyes on this set I thought to do something like I'm showing you now. I built 2 versions of the MOD, an A version all made from LEGO technic parts, and a B version were I used a tipper bed (peeron ref. 52045) from the LEGO City Dump Truck 7344 set. I used 3 Power Function motors, 2 IR receivers, and one remote. One M PF motor controls steering, another raises the tipper bed, an one PF XL motor for traction. The IR receivers were partially hidden below the battery box. Version A BrickShelf: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=357989 Version B BrickShelf: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=357990 Steering Steering was an head breaker since I didn't want to plug a motor directly to the gear rack, because it causes sudden turns instead of smooth and controlled ones. BrickShelf: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=357986 Video on youtube: It's not perfect, but it's good enough for me, for now, so I hope you like it. Merry Christmas to everybody Regards

Bionicle and Technic are on oposite sides for me. If from LEGO only one theme had to survive, and all others end, I'd choose Technic to keep alive, though in my imagination I associate LEGO with the City theme, don't ask me why. On the other side, if one theme had to end, I'd choose Bionicle. Off course I respect others opinions... this is just my own. I like robotics also, but when I look at a bionicle set I can't see any robotics there, but when I look to technick "bricks" (and Mindstorm), I can imagine lots of working things, robots included, humanized or not. Cumps PS: And by the way... It bothers me to have here in the forum, Bionicle mixed up with Technic and Minstorms, because I have no interest in the first, and I always have to dig here, the post that I'm really interested in.

Congratulations Teddy! You are building an amizing castle! I liked the new stained-glass windows Regards

Leaf spring came at least from Middle Age times, so no one's idea here. Crowkillers made is LEGO version, and Ras_Al_Ghul is own. And even if inspired, they both seem different enough to me, to say they are alike. Regards PS: And by the way... none of them are actualy leaf springs are they? I see springs, but not the leafs :P
