    Wow, it looks great, much better than in LDD What happened to the rubber piece on the right? Great job, looking forward to your next MOC!
  2. Junpei
    Yeah, I've got tons of them. What experiment do you propose to do with the DB gears?
  3. Junpei
    Awesome! Also, I meant it seems like you could just do a simple mechanical thing for the switch and valve instead of a large LA. Was that just because of not enough space for necessary gearing?

    That is the best idea I've heard so far, Rumpletump! That is the perfect contest idea, I have no idea why I didn't think of that! And @Milan, I guess I agree, with builds like Paul Boratko's models, but I think some people might be a bit biased towards PF.

    Looks pretty good, although the head looks really small...

    Geez, calm down DrJB... I don't think the fact that the DB gears have less friction has to do with the plastic. I have built a gearbox that had sliding 20t gears because of decreased friction on the axles, I think it is so it is easier for kids to pull off the axles. I know it's different than what you're talking about, but I have one of the older 24t gears (with the 3 axle holders) permanently stuck to an axle, and I'm pretty sure it just has to do with the mold. I will note that the DB gears feel different, though, but not like nylon.

    I meant that the 3L liftarms only have one degree of freedom. So how can it twist without bending the pins?
  8. Junpei
    It looks good, however I would give the links two degrees of freedom on the inner side, I can see it is stressing the parts.

    How did you make the skid steering so smooth? Are the right front and left rear controlled by one motor and the left front and right rear by the other?
  10. Junpei
    Do you think you'll actually be able to ride that?
  11. Junpei
    Not limiting that could cripple great builders with not enough PF...
  12. Junpei
    Great job! Makes me want to make a zero steer loader...
  13. Junpei
    I'm pretty sure it's a telescopic boom, I don't know what else it could be. I think you should just stick with the studded, but does that fit the size limits?
  14. Junpei
    That's looking better! Although I think you should use 5L axles to secure the shocks, I think they might just fall off if they are on axle pins.
  15. Junpei
    Yes, I think that is the general consensus. Do you have enough panels to build a roof?
  16. Junpei
    It's simple, really. Just add caster, and everything works better. You're definitely going to break parts if you don't add a caster angle. I think if you can get that, you should go for 3:5 gearing, that will be much more fun.
  17. Junpei
    Yes, I support the roof too! I think it should definitely be manual, by levers near the seat, that's much more fun. Good luck!
  18. Junpei
    Yes, at high speeds you always need a good caster angle. I too have those steering parts, they are this: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=32195b, this: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=x873c01. I have never used them as I would like to try to make more realistic suspensions, but it will be very strong, and perfect for something this size. However you may want to try to see if there is any way to avoid using it as they are hella expensive, especially if you're going to use them for all four wheels.

    I would really like a non-PF flagship contest, as 1) I am limited to one M and one XL and 2) It would be much easier to integrate pneumatics and other stuff that is difficult to control with PF.

    Hey, at least you probably have a set or two, my whole Technic collection is a disassembled 8069 and some technic parts I got from years of buying system sets... I'm not even going to post a pic.
  21. Junpei
    I was just wondering, how do you get articulation in the front live axle? It looks like it only has 1 degree of freedom.
  22. Junpei
    How about dual live axles with the stock lego live axle parts? That will be very robust and only requires 2 u-joint and 2 CV joints total, assuming you'll be using CV's for the steering.
  23. Junpei
    Ah yes, the two 24t gears powering the pump. I don't own a mog myself but I have heard many complaints about their teeth being ground up. Nothing to do with ungeared motors tho. I will probably be ordering one or two of them to do some tests.
  24. Junpei
    I don't think the 3-pin arrangement will work very well, I was thinking the old gear block, but with pinholes arranged like on the front of the l-motor on both sides. That also means that you can keep the studs and anti-studs for system and train builds.
  25. Junpei
    Looks great, I can't wait to see the video. Zero steer would be pretty much impossible, right?
