    Just great. Thank you so very much.

    Checked your example, you have two degrees of freedom on the lower ends and one on the upper ones? What for is the link on the upper ends of the shock absorbers? Is it to limit the rotating ability of the whole axle?

    I understood now, thank you.

    Thank you so very much, great explanation, seems much clearer now. Do I understand right that the shock absorber both ends connection points must be able to move just in one (vertical) dimension? Or two dimensions required (vertical)? And why it is important for the links to be semi- triangular and not rectangular?

    Love the crawlers, never made them myself yet. I'm not clearly understand something. Is there some explanation how they mechanically behave? For a single wheels axis there is usually 4 links and 2 shock absorbers, i.e. 6 points of contact with a body. For 9398 4x4 Crawler there is 5 points of contact including that 'round parts'. Why 4 links but not a pair of them? Also I saw construction with 4 links without shocks absorbers at all, I just don't understand how the body does not fall on the ground:

    It is so great and important that we all love different things in life :)
  7. AKM_76
    Completely agree, but, again, the overall design and appeal of the set is much more important for me then the 'functions' )

    This piece is popular (black one) for making guns

    I'm surprised that so many people love construction sets. I like them also but they are not my favorite ones. I'm quite new here and what also surprises me is how many people love retro 'studded' sets, I'm not a fan of them personally ;)

    8386 Ferrari F1 Racer (1:10 Scale) & 8420 Street Bike.

    Use the Bricklink services at their best, make a wishlists and see which shops have the highest quantity of items automatically.

    8420 - the best motorbike ever. One of the best Technic sets. Must have.
  13. AKM_76
    Don't know )) Maybe someone want to make something similar in LEGO.

    Here is something for the inspiration:

    Ok, I see. Here is something to read, Nathanaël Kuipers interview: http://www.technicbricks.com/2011/02/tbs-techtalk-05-with-nathanael-kuipers.html

    Is there a way to find out who designed the particular LEGO sets? For example I'd like to know the designer name(s) of 8386 Ferrari F1 Racer and 4891 Highway Haulers - some of my most favorite LEGO sets, and which sets they designed else? And what are they doing now, Flickr pages, etc...

    Егор, привет! I'm already in your great group in vk (Андрей Кузнецов), but hey, what for do I know English? ))) I enjoy the possibility of not being limited just by the local Russian-speaking Internet sector. Anyway thank you for the invite.

    What do you think about Lego discontinued Radio Controlled solutions? Not so much fun and freedom as PF?
  19. AKM_76
    For example: I'm sure it must be considered a crime to motorize the beautiful 8386 Ferrari F1 Racer
  20. AKM_76
    I'm so very much agree with the first post, motorizing and RC controlling everything, was thinking about it also. But I never played with RC car personally, Lego or other manufacturer and I'd like to try it with Lego. Speed and climbing walls does not seem a strong argument for me, I really believe that 'slow' can be very cool if it designed nice, more then, when I see all that RC cars running that unrealistically crazy fast it looks quite annoying. Just some of my thoughts.

    Thank you very much for reply.

    Hi, I want to step into a world of Lego RC cars, I don't have any Power Functions yet, and I've got just a couple of small Technic sets. I want it to be a long time or endless single car project with modifications over the time. I'm looking for something ike this: So I have several questions: 1. Is getting a 9398 Crawler essential for my situation? Maybe getting PF and some parts or other car set(s) from Bricklink? 2. Control unit - 58122c01 or 64227 ? I see that 58122c01 is used mostly. 3. Battery box - 84599 or 54950c01 with batteries and an external charging device, or to use non rechargeables?
