More info would be nice... Where is the joint going to be used? Will the angle of the axles keep changing (liek in suspension) or is it static? Is the joint held on both sides? Here are some of my personal pointer I can give you. Cv pros: Cv joints are usefull if you have low torque application (like steering) and you need a bit of axle sliding movement. Cv negatives: As soon as you out too much torque they simply pop out They have a limited angle (some 25 degrees) aafter that they pop out U joints pros: They are stronger than Cv's. They dont slip on the axles as much as Cv's. They allow higher angles than Cv's U joints negs: The axle holes tend to crack. At higher angles they create vibrations. If the angle ot torque is too high the cross part pops out, or the axle hole breaks Bewel gears pros: They allow for a smooth transmission of the power If the surrounding frame is built correctly they can whitstand the torque of an xl motor Bewel gears negs: The half 12 tooth ones tend to break a lot, especially in differential cases Once they slip at high torque they become deformed and prone to even more slipping You need a very good housing to keep them from slipping at high torque Knobs pros: They are simple and reliable. They can carry extreme torques even in not-so good gear casings Knobs negs: They dont spin smoothey, just like an U joint at a higher angle they create vibrations They tend to squeak Their efficiency is lower due to only 4 tooth used (larger intermeshing surface = larger friction) Hope these tips help you. One more thing. A U joint or a Cv joint can carry more torque if both ends are fixed. A free-floating U or Cv joint has more room to oscillate, slip out or break.

I like the fact that functions are reversable and I cant wait for the LDD file (if you need any help just poke me ). How much can this baby lift?

For me interesting how the most used set combination seems to be 42026 and 9392. I guess there' s a lot of suckers for orange and black models, especially me.

For some reason the wheels on the sides remind me of a an alien buggy from GTA 5. Nice use of the showel as a spoiler, it has to be a first

Awesome photographs. Love the filter you used, it makes the truck look more gritty.

I think Unimog's steering is not that good... Better use 9398's steering with a stud or two shorter steering arms so you get a higher steering angle.

These are good ideas for an S motor. Imagine a motor that is just 3 studs wide including the connectors drawn on top and some 3-4 studs long.

Mah we will all forget untill that date...

Yeah blue and gray teeth usally dont really look healthy I am happy that it made you LOL. Thanks! Its interesting we both used the same sets and got such different designs. Rawr I agree technic alows you to build so much more than just stuff on wheels. Thankies!

It looks like an RC car of sorts Must be the antenna hehe. even though its small it is quite cute. And the gearbox is very smart.

That is a very good mech! I love all the police lights

33. Foxy Click here to check the topic So I (too) combined the 9392 and 42026 sets and made this little beasty. I used 263 of the 307 combined parts. Total time spent on building, rebuilding, optimising, etc... was some 3 days - I'd say around 8 hours total. Functions: - Walking function with the pullback motor - Sitting option made with a special lock on his rear - He can move his jaw using the worm gear - Movable ears and tail Here's a video of the little furry beasty: I hope you guys are impressed as much as I am

Are the wheel directly above the tracks? it seems they are hitting the support. I suggest you to angle the wheels so they dont hit the middle support.

I DARE YOU!!11!!ONE!

Yo! With everyone building machinery and such I decided to make something a bit more...furry So I (too) combined the 9392 and 42026 sets and made this little beasty: I was actually inspired by the small orange panels, I thought to myself those are some awesome ears. Function wise foxy is quite packed: Using a special lock his rear legs can be placed in standing or sitting positon: So here's the little bugger sitting: And because his jaw is actuated by the worm gear he can also grab his favourite toy: I used the flex tubes on the tail in such way they push on the body, creating friction. This means his tail can move up and down- Tail in normal position: And raised: And now he's just being silly: I used 263 of the 307 combined parts. Total time spent on building, rebuilding, optimising, etc... was some 3 days - I'd say around 8 hours total. I think he's the first pullback motor powered quad, which is actually quite hard to make because the pullback motors are not really good for non-linear moving mechanisms. My personally favourite feature besides walking and sitting is the ear movement because it gives him an ability to express himself. All in all I am very pleased about this model because its just so different from the regular stuff. And he's cute Here's a video of the little furry beasty: I hope you guys are impressed as much as I am

Is there a way to make the front part of the roller move a bit and switch the abttery box? This way you still have the feature but hidden.

Black makes model seem bigger and sometimes cooler. For example my fox 8x8x8 is black, but it has orange/red details and green wheels. I used black because it complements green wheels the best,

What a great use of parts! What immediatley cought my attention is the light blue fender above the round peiece. Looks very nice and flush. Also nice engines!

Greetings! Thats a lot off of academic stuff you have there You build any MOCs?

I think I saw a falcon hanged on a wall somewhere, but I'm not really sure... You can check instructions to get an image of how its built. Oh and welcome

There's always the slizer head: #32165: Technic Connector Block 3 x 6 x 1 & 2/3 Or bionicle foot 32475:

Yeah seems TLG is replacing the multiple manuals with one big (and fat) one.

The instructions are phenomenal What software did you use? Looks a bit like LDD but I'm not sure.

Not bad for 3 hours work. I think it came out nice.
