It's indeed an interesting setup, it makes it only more interesting to see how they did it back in time. (I'm quite young so ) A while back, i had the chance from a company to get 3 Dell Optiplex gx620 free. I gave the full name because they are quite recent models. I've build 2 nice working computers from it, but disappointly it does not fit together It would be a perfect setup althought! I hope my friend can give me the final awnser to this chapter. Maybe again an adapter, who knows? Edit: Just noticed i missed page 76. Now complete. Is the language familiar to somebody?

Thank you for all the replies, but i want to make the most fun of it! I was thinking about making things from it with the ideas of others. Maybe a simple printer (suggested by my teacher) as first try if the interfaces will work? Maybe does the BBC Micro Computer explains why there is nowhere on the internet something about the original software of interface A. I'll share the manual for the 9771 for a while: https://www.dropbox....zvxy/-n9NiI8vrn (It was so fresh, the back was too hard to bent under the scanner ) I can't find such a thing where to insert the codes at. Maybe does somebody recognizes the back of the pc from the 2 and 3 page? Probably interface A will be the hardest, but most awsome quest Besides from this, i think the temperature sensor has the least versatility, but still a handy piece of equipement

Yesterday i had the chance to explore almost all stuff. I'm so happy! One of the jackpots was a 1dm3 box with plenty of chains and treads! If i sum up correct: 3x 1032 (overall 80% complete) 3-4x 1033 (unknown) 2x 1090 (Found glue and is heavy used, about 60% complete) 3x 9604 (overall 80% complete) 2x 9606 (unknown) 1x 9701 (sealed) 3x 9750 (sealed) 4x 9751 (sealed) 3x 1039 (unknown) (new) 1x 1039 (unknown) (old) 1x 1038 (unknown) 5x 9771 (sealed) That's what i know so far, numbers are still growing I'm far more excited too see all the old stuff, rather than the new stuff. Thanks to Azzepa and google i found much info but many links were broken. This is as far as i came for now: This is for interface B, my plans in the future are to discover the best working methode to make something amazing. Shortly i'll have an adapter/laptopstand thingy that has a port for the RS-232 serial cable to fire it up! My plans about interface A are to visit next week a technician friend who can help me connect the IBM card. I've tried many computers but the card is always too big and has the wrong slot. The card seems to be the only way to connect it to the pc. (or not?) I'll keep you updated. Edit: I'm having difficulties with Interface A, Am i allowed to publish a part of the manual? I just don't understand where these codes have to be written in. I've read something about a BBC Micro computer? Is that correct?

Today during the break at school, i looked for more amazing LEGO to find, and YES! It's there! Almost everything is still sealed and in the suspense i forgot to make more photo's. There was also a big box with an overload of sensors, motors, cables and lights from the 9v aswell the 4,5v system Chains, links, i even found evidence there may be multiple micromotors in it! I can't wait until tomorrow! Has anybody some amazing ideas to make with it?

Hi there, This week i've made the happy discovery to find some special, rather unknown (to my) LEGO sets. When i started talking with my technical teacher, he told me our school afforded some LEGO a while ago but never actually used it. I'm very curious if i could get everything back to work. So my first question is: i've never, ever used NXT and are unknown to programming software, is there somebody that could help me get the sets 9750 and 9751 working? I already did some research and i have the cable at home to connect the 9751 to the computer, about the power-supplies and software i'm unsure. I got a quick look at them and haven't opened them. About friday i have all the sets at home to examine them and i hope i can find even more amazing LEGO sets at the black-depths of my school! Cheers, Jesse

I've experimented with modifying the u-joints in many ways. It is very effective if you strenghten the ends, as you mentioned as example with heat shrinking tubing. I tried it with rope and some hard glue and it behaved quite good. But you don't need to expect the u-joints will hold up in any extreme-torsion setup. Strenghtening the u-joints with copperwire behaved worse than expected, but all slack was gone and the axle was harder to come lose in steering designs. The best way might be to modify the cv-joints since they have only 1 bar, and not crossed bars like the u-joint has. The failed modification:

It is technically not a LSD, but i thought i might share it aswell here. It works very nice and noticed no wear to any part in the period i used the idea. The only negative side-effect is that the axle's are not perfectly horizontal aligned anymore.

Sorry for the slow response. I meant the big part from bottem to top in the suspension bridge. You can see them clearly in the 4,5 and 6 picture on dropbox.

How is the long connector like part called used in the strut towers? Again, outstanding work Nicjasno!

Hello Nicjasno! Never thought i would see you here. I´m glad you will help me =D The simplicity in te design is very nice, i also used the triangles, but in a way different kind. To go to a 4 stud wideness solves the problem with the wheelhubs, but the arms are on both sides 1 bush to short to be on scale. It is possible to displace the arms with 1 stud with help of the liftplates but that is not the strongest setup. And building the spring on top could still be possible, but i don´t have any room underneath the arms to mount the bars from the suspension. Did you had in your car a Watt´s linkage or a panhard rod for extra rigidy? The shiftment in the axle should be the least problem. The arms that are on scale are the 6 stud long bricks with 5 holes, not very much to place anyting on it. Thank you for your idea! That is indeed a very smart idea, but the axle that comes out the differential are not centered in this design to fit the wheelhubs. I'm not going to use the 42000 hubs since they have to much slack to perform at. Nicjasno has made a very good alternative for it on his youtube channel! Also, the big turntable doesn't is to wide on 1 side to make 4 bricks coming out.

Thank you for the nice welcome! The arms where i'm talking about are indeed the long technic bricks. Switching to studless arms is probably getting harder to make rigid. The liftarms don't fit easy in the studded box without a big changement. The only way how it was possible to archive a 3 stud wide with the bricks was using a kind of tile with a half stud offset and the technic bricks have a hollow top. This way you could snap them tight in the other bricks with a half stuff offset. Switching to a 4 stud wide is also probably giving more challenges than this setup. The arms will be a half stud offset from the black liftarms that keep them together so it will be harder to make a link to remain extra rigidy or for any other use.

Hello everybody, One day my nephew asked if we could make together a car. I started the project last christmas and have actually not made so much progress at the car, but i learned in the meanwhile a lot! I started with zero experience and haven't played a while with lego. Nicjasno was a good person that was very helpfull. The first suspension i made, was very bad according to nicjasno. After watching his video's, i was really ashamed of myself =P. How could i let see such a bad designed suspension to nicjasno! My nephew loves the Ford Mustang GT, and actually i love it to! The scale has in the meantime changed alot. Following nicjasno it was a good idea to build from the wheels. I started with the (http://www.bricklink....asp?P=44772c01) wheels. I followed the idea of sheepo's MacPherson idea. But after some testing i was not convinced enough. When you steer, one side of the car gets lift up because the length of the spring variates. Also an unexpected thing happened. The Powerfunctions XL Motors peforms bad, really bad. (even coupled). After some research i saw you could make your own engine with the lego pneumatics. I started with the one-cylinder from nico71. When i saw it for the first time actually working. The excitement really killed me! I was so excited i wanted to go to the next level. To directly build the biggest, bad-megablocks megablock engines was for me not a good idea. So the next choice was the SYS I3 from nicjasno with all the modifications. After the succesful build. I thought i was ready for the LpePower v8! =O. I have both models kept in my closet and have traded 3 yellow cylinders for 11 transperant blue cylinders. But i'm stil waiting for them. So the next wheelchoice was (http://www.bricklink....asp?P=44772c04), but they were to small to fit the big v8 engine block =P. So we went on to the biggest wheels lego has made: http://www.bricklink....asp?P=44772c03. In the meanwhile i had builded many idea's for the car, but parts broke every time. So we went to the 'heavy duty' category. Nicjasno had tipped me about his HDA. So i had made my own copy of it, but it was really to big! It was such a beautifull designed gearbox. So now, where my question comes from: I started building a rear suspension nicjasno made for his own Ford Mustang GT, but i don't use non-lego wheels with all the extra coming items such as the turntable and the custom adapters. So i had to do it with nicjasno modified wheelhubs (i follow his buildshow). But after many designs that are to big or to wobbly, i ask some advice from the experienced builders on this forum. The thingy that proposes nicjasnos modified wheelhubs and the headpart of the rear suspension (live axle) The wheelhub needs to fit the arms that are coming out, but has any a good idea how? Another photo Nicjasno's models without the cylinders. (I also want to say i appreciate the help of youtuber OOOONeoGamerOOOO with the modifications. I am still learning to do it my own.) Sorry for the bad photo's (original huh?) It is night and i have only a mobile i can acces at the moment. I'm new to this forum so if i do something wrong, i will hear it. Any idea is welcome!
