    What about 2 way switching like you have on the top and bottom your stairs, either light can be switched on or off from the top or bottom. So you have a standard lego switch one each floor once the lift knocks it off and stops dead on each floor, but the external switch set to the opposite pole starts it up again.

    I believe there are 3 switches per floor in a lift, 2 of which are above and below the stop point, these are used to slow the motor and then the one in the middle to stop it. If the ev3 motors are stepper motors then the control brick will know exactly where to stop for each floor and you also might be able to add a slowdown just before stopping for a nice smooth ride.

    My dad used to work for konecranes, he said your lift is far smoother than the real thing. :D

    I did a C model ages ago with the 9398 set... http://rebrickable.com/mocs/JM1971/honda-atc It was a honda atc 3 wheeled bike, fun but inherently unstable just like the real thing.

    Nice to see your still doing this mod, I thought maybe try and put the xl motor in the wheel and have something rotate the motor to steer. https://www.dropbox.com/s/hg8dd6wf022f34w/BM.jpg?dl=0

    OMG you seen the size of it in real life?

    I did it wrong once and tore a u-joint apart, they are hard to replace too becuase lego don't sell them individually and you can only get mostly old ones on bricklink, the ones that crack on the axel connection. Its no joke people, look after your u-joints, this guy knows his stuff.

    A monumental undertaking indeed as the arkham knight tank is a really complex vehicle, looking good with what you have done so far.

    These are much better for you, very handy for puffin when your busy doing builds.

    All you need now is a lego cookie monster. :D

    Sweeeet, and even has a working supercharger, very nice. It was hardly in the new mad max film yet it was the star of the original trilogy, I was dissapointed with the new film becuause of that, but the interceptor lives again in lego. :D

    My motobike stays upright even when its not moving... http://rebrickable.com/mocs/JM1971/honda-atc Seriously though I would never of though of using a moving weight to steer a bike, I tried to make a 2 wheeled bike once and it was terrible so I cheated and went with 3 wheels, it so difficult to do a 2 wheeled bike, kudos.

    Race?

    Lego never makes stuff from existing sets or combinations anymore, its such a waste. Good to see someone making a moc from one set.

    Found this old lfx file on my, I'm not sure if its 100% though, https://www.dropbox.com/s/j5f3gyr26kyx7eq/piterx.zip?dl=0

    I would get it open its mouth and look at anyone who comes near. :D

    I'll use grass instead, not the smoking kind lol. Before foam upholsterers used horse hair and hay. :)

    Or, put the rim in the tyre while submerged in water, if you ever get a puncture you'll know instantly. :D
  19. JM1971
    I would buy the set, if there was one that is, have you tried sending the design to lego? It's about time lego did something more exiting, the 9398 was a step in the right direction but then they went back to doing boring stuff.

    At first glance I would of never of guessed it had so many RC functions and also moved like a rocket, A++++ work indeed.
  21. JM1971
    Over stuffing them with foam will create a bulge along the center, this bulge will cause the tyre to have less contact on flat surfaces and therefore be even faster, a harder tyre is going to be faster anyway, nice find. :) You can get foam on amazon, a one inch sheet should do, cut into strips with a electric carving knife and glue both ends together, also a more expensive option is memory foam unless you get a memory foam pillow and use the foam chips inside it to fill the wheels. PS. All foam is fire retardent now, thats what the sparkly bits are, not that you should be driving lego though fire. :D http://www.amazon.co...rds=1 inch foam http://www.amazon.co...arch_detailpage

    Something I always wanted to try was how industrial light and magic made the special effects in the first 3 movies, a camera would move and the space ship model stays still and when its all complete it looks like the model is really flying, no strings lol.
  23. JM1971
    For those pieces that won't separate.
  24. JM1971
    I would guess there is a fan blowing air though the boom stick and some fairy liquid involved somehow? Its good how you did it anyway, nice.

    I just put up a vid and it seems ok, nothing about the music being copyrighted. Those old midi tunes from the 80's had a lot of bass. :D
