Nice tank,did you base your tank from any real one? You could swap the 16 tooth gears for 12 tooth double bevel gears (comes in grey), that would fix your issue of all the gears meshing with each other. I also would of not of bothered with the old style connector at the end of the main gun.

D3K's MOCs
Alasdair Ryan replied to D3K's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Looking at your cad drawing it seems to be a bit rushed,the boom needs to be lower that that shown in your picture. I am looking forward to seeing the 'head' of it,It will be interesting to see how you use the micromotors. -
8043 B Model
Alasdair Ryan replied to David83's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Since you have a extra stud in width why don't you buy your self two L motors? That would make it a bit stronger as well as adding more power to the tracks. -

Mini Motors with NXT
Alasdair Ryan replied to TasV's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Sometimes they can slip,but the trick is to have them power a set of gears to the function and not drive the function directly. -
Mini Motors with NXT
Alasdair Ryan replied to TasV's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
The grab I made above does not jam,when the grab opens and closes fully it will rotate 360 continuous. Since you have a worm gear in your design I don't think your need two micro motors to power the grab. -

I use the micro motor on my grab I make for the 8043,it is slow but because I used a worm gear it is fine. A micro motor is perfect for what you want to do. -
That is a really nice truck. I like how you made the working tail gate and the pallet jack.

Very nice entry,but I see a problem..... As a unskilled builder in real live I can tell you the way you placed the forecourt pillar above a full hight window and door is not a good idea.... But other than that a very nice entry with lots of detail.

LDraw models of new PF motors
Alasdair Ryan replied to Philo's topic in Digital LEGO: Tools, Techniques, and Projects
Once you have downloaded the 'manual download' from the Ldraw site,you can then follow these steps on how to add new parts to Mlcad. 1)Open the downloaded parts folder and the Ldraw installation folder (c/program files/Ldraw) in two different windows. 2)In both windows you will see two folders named 'parts' and 'p'. If you open both of these folders once more,you will then see another two folders called 's' and '48'. 3)Next copy and replace the contents of each matching folder from the download to the matching folder on your computer,remember to replace the two sub folder's matching parts as well. 4)Finally if you open Mlcad and from the top left menu select 'scan parts',it should then tell you that it found new parts. All done. -
