42056 - Porsche Speculation
maxxens replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I have the feeling in our time it is more probable, that someone has a smartphone lying around than some old fashioned AA batteries. But let's first see if the Porsche will even have any kind of RC before we discuss the the how ;) -

Just 90° and a bit higher resolution and we would know :/ -
Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
maxxens replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
I guess, that (if the GB house is the real deal) it will be more like the monster hunter villa or the simpsons house, i.e. standing free without walls to connect to other houses. But with a piece count of 4500 it should be fairly easy to modify it into a modular building ;) -
Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion

There is a barber shop in the detective's office. -
Recently I found in my old lego instructions the old red super car (the studded one) and the old yellow plane. I was amazed, how much happened in one step of the instruction and could not remember, that it was a big problem for my brother and me to complete these sets on christmas eve within a few hours. No idea, when they exactly came out, but we got them the same year (being born '79 and '81).

I have to say this is quite fugly... I love to read books and there is nothing what hates being open more than a paperback. Honestly I am a bit afraid that the book will lose pages after the third/fourth rebuild. I prefer the six books (which I also got) or even better the book of the Ultimate Falcon, best book ever :)

[GBC] Jumper Module
maxxens replied to Yiharua's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Unfortunately this has nothing to do with regulations but with the bitching around of youtube/google and the GEMA, the organisation in germany who is responsible to collect money from people who air music for the artists... -
42009 B-Model
maxxens replied to maxxens's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Sorry, I did not clarify the meaning of my post :) I meant "the only review right now is a video with a timelapse build" but I really prefer to look on pictures and read text than to watch a video. Call me old fassioned ;) -
42009 B-Model
maxxens replied to maxxens's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
So more and more people should own the 42009 (I am still waiting for christmas) but still no review for the B model? There is only a youtube-video with a timelapse build now: -
Lost art of orienting bushings?

There are no studs in studless builds ;) Yeah, I Know, a few studs are still left on lights etc. :) -
Lost art of orienting bushings?
maxxens replied to torso's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
In my opinion the newer version has much less friction because of the ring which greatly reduces the surface in contact with other parts. To topic: I always try to line them up nicely, i.e. if there are two pieces on an axle they should both be lined up the same way rotationwise and both outwards/inwards endingwise. It annoys me to no end if there are an odd number on one axle so I cannot line them up properly ;) -
Unfortunately not. The good old times of preview windows are long gone :( Maybe it is possible by only cutting the seal on one side. But completely without cutting will not be possible.

It would be interesting to see how many sets were sold how fast in which country. Especially, if in there were simply many more sets in the US available or less were bought until now.

I think Lego chose ten entries from the top 100 for the top 10 according to their own rules (i.e. financial possible, according to lego building rules etc.). From this ten the lego users chose the no. 1.

9398 not driving straight
maxxens replied to datune's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Did you calibrate the servo? It is the first step of the instructions. I cannot see it exactly in your video, but is only one axle or both steering to the side? If first, forget my comment and check the gears, if yes it sounds like the servo is the problem. If i remember correctly the whole rack and the gear is fixed from every possible direction.
