Awww, that sucks. I wish you best of luck rebuilding the collection. -
Don't have those pieces, so don't know diameter... Gotta get some though!
-
Nice speed! Maybe you could get higher speed by using the yellow ring pieces from BWE as drive wheel. Sure, traction will be poor and they will get damaged, but the rolling resistance will be much lower and diamater much higher.

Dont know why you would need rubber bands, but okay. What about using Buwizz in normal mode, you guys think that would be OK too?

Technic 2017 Set Discussion

Self-towing confirmed? -
Here's a teaser GIF I recorded while making LDD developer mode video:

Hi everyone. I took some time to show you guys how to enable LDD's developer mode and all the tings it can do. Here are a just a few examples of the things you can do in dev. mode: You can render bricks in wireframe: You can use the various rendering modes to show the collision objects of the bricks and color them in some trippy colors: And the best thing of all, you can DISABLE COLLISIONS in order to place bricks in almost any manner: I made a short video on how to unlock LDD developer mode and all the other things you can do with it here: I hope you guys find this info useful and save yourself a lot of work when LDD's collisions give you a headache

Technic 2017 Set Discussion

Maybe we are getting a 67' Mustang Eleanor set -
*Caughs* ...but in all seriousness lets keep it PF only please
-
Sure, you can make it any shape
-
Sure, but lets start with small first to get experiences. We can always upscale later.
-
But I would like all the competitors to build in a simillar scale if possible...
-
at 68,8 we are talking about 1:10 scale and the models get much heavier and harder to build.
-
Why? I suggested 62.4 as max, you can use anything smaller.
-
I'd say no bare chassis allowed, keep it as nice looking as possible.
-
Okay, how about this way guys. Keep it PF only with Sbricks allowed. And in order to keep all models in same scale, maximum wheel size should be 62,4 mm? Everythign else, amount of motors, battery boxes, etc is as you wish.
-
Odd enough the poll has been the same ever since I added it... Weird.
-
Everyone interested please vote in the poll above.
-
Poll added.
-
I wanted to start a poll today, but I see I'm having hard time keeping up already Give me a few minutes to make the poll guys.
-
Wow, this topic blew way more than I anticipated. I think we should first agree on the basic fundations. We need to keep things as simple and accessable to everyone as possible. My suggestion for starters is a puristic class with a limit being the size and using power functions and modern components only. After that we can agree on other more specific rules. I think I will set up a poll tomorrow with more specific questions to see where most opinions are.

Have a look at this for inspiration:

Reason for type of motors and quantity is so anyone can join without having to spend massive amounts on money on expensive stuff like RC units and motors. Also having restrictions encourages innovation, how to make the racers as light and efficient as possible.

I was watching some of the E-races on youtube ad thought to myself, why not have competitions like that too. Just like the trial trucks, but with the focus on being speed and handling. Here are the basic rules I'd propose use either 2XL, 3L or 4M motors for drive, no RC motors allowed use any Lego battery box, the Li-Po is lighter, but has lower voltage, while the new AA battery boxes have no current limit use of Sbrick is allowed since it only controls the model the model can use a third function like a gearbox, or even a spring-powered boost mechanis, as long as it does not power the car directly use of pre-2005 bricks is not allowed to keep things modern and fair What do you guys think? Anyone wanna try it? Few more ideas: size limit - all cars should be approximately at the same size paneling - cars should be properly covered with panels, bare chassis is not allowed

You just locked the diff.
