zux replied to Technix's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
That would be less power capacity. -

Have you checked your fingers/nails for damage? -

Wow, excellent looking model! So many details here to look at. Is there a picture from the back, without the body? -

Source, page 12. You can find more illegal connections there. -
It looks like prices are showing for Europe only.

Set 42006 - C Model
zux replied to Paul B Technic's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I've build one model out of 42006 only, but used additional PF stuff. Might get photo BI, if needed. -

Searching a part
zux replied to Seeks's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
There are a lot of similar stickers for City and Technic sets that come in 1x wide plate size with different length. You then can easily cut them to required length. Check stickers for these sets: 42006, 42008, 42009, 42023, 42024, 60017, 7592, 7593, 8110, maybe more. -
Correct. As far as i remember there was similar issue for other EB members, but not sure if it was region dependent.

European website actually shows the price of each piece if it available.

Well, I have been assembling my 41999 copy, which some of us kept it to certain date and didn't assemble once received. When I got to the point I had to use PF Battery Box I found its LED didn't switch on with a battery switch. It turns out BB is dead, as I have tested it with two sets of batteries which perform fine in a different BB. Ok, I wasn't disappointed here as I knew LEGO Customer Service is great and will definatelly replace it. So I used my other BB to finish building the model. Later I went to LEGO CS webpage and submitted required information, that was 23 days ago actually. I received confirmation email shortly, no updates after that. Today I made a call to CS on a different question, but also asked what is the status on broken piece. The guy on the call told me I should bring it back to shop where I bought the set to get it changed/swapped or receive a refund. I told him it isn't quite possible due to limited nature of the set I have (not to mention it should be transported to a different country) - "This is the only way, this part can be changed", he told. Well this is not what I expected. Please note, I'm from Lithuania (that's in EU) where we don't have official LEGO presence, just LEGO brand stores not owned by TLG. The best what I was hoping for TLG would sent me another BB to Lithuania. The worst - TLG would send it to any address in a county where their e-shop is shipping (that would still suit me). But advise I was given is quite shocking. Standard BB isn't expensive but still costs 7,99 € in TLG e-shop and a bit less on BL. I can live with this, as there are plenty of BB provided in different sets so I might end up having too much of them. But overal eperience isn't very good at this moment. Now I wonder what is the cause of such requirement and if there are known pieces/parts that cannot be changed alone, only with a complete set? Did anyone had similar experience?

PF Wiring Question
zux replied to Blakbird's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
There is such cable. I wonder if it allows you to connect Mindstorms motor to old 9V system or old 9V motor to Mindstorms? Would it be possible to achieve some PF compatibility with minstrorms using that cable through PF extension cables? -
PF Wiring Question
zux replied to Blakbird's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Well I think you could try your theory, by attaching an extention PF cables to each device (like 1 for motor and 1 to IR Receiver) and old 9V electric cable between them. I'm thinking if it works, then some of cables cab me trimmed for sure. -
Sarcasm related to LEGO Technic

"I don't need to have each tyre/wheel type used for Technic" "I don't need/like buggy motors" -
In Technic part of this forum it was reported sometime ago that one bag was completely missing in limited edition 41999 box. Imagine that - it is a lot of missing parts!

[MOC] 1:10 Lancia 037 Rally Car
zux replied to Hrafn's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Love the B-group MOCs, those cars looks so good. This one is not exception as well. Like how simple and light it is - trying to build a modern version rally car, but it gets too heavy and you cannot build the body with just 5x11 plates -
How the RC system works - a video
zux replied to Sariel's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
THis awesome system, really love it. The only disadvantage I found is that steering output on RC unit has small torque plus has very limited turn angle. So if you are using custom steering setup it barely able to turn the wheels. -
Leviathan Airboat
zux replied to Sariel's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I'm not sure if it is realistic, but why not to try combining both types of propellers - one in water and second one above. I mean this one and another from your previous MOC. Should be a beast for any conditions. -
41999 Left over parts
zux replied to DrJB's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I can confirm I have exactly the same Extra parts as 750ACE stated above. Added these to BL some time ago, still not approved. -
Looks very good, like the 42025 color scheme :)
