    We get a topic like this nearly every year,same question...same answer nobody knows the proper answer with the exception of the Lego group.

    I recommend that you should be testing any gearbox that will be propelling a car along should be tested on the ground,and not static like in the video. There are two ways I have often thought about building the most efficient auto-gearbox: Design A The Centre shaft is the one that changes gears,the top is a static axle from the motor and finally the lower axle is where the different output speeds are placed. Design B A orbital gearbox where the driven axle goes through gearing on a rotational axis which meshes to a static output shaft. I have tried your idea too but have found that there is not enough force to change gears,design A does work well but it is limited as a lot of gearing will make gear backlash. Keep it simple....

    Hi Paul I have hosted your image for you,Photobucket is easy to use and free so I would recommend using that if you are looking for a hosting site. Your bin lorry looks very good,and the functions are there too,you seam to enjoy making refuse vehicles.

    Not another crane..... A Telehandler would be nice. Unlikely... That would be nice or a backhoe. Boring.

    Sometimes members can post before they think,hindsight is a wonderful thing, but sadly it comes after the action you have done. Before posting read over what you have said,making sure is confines to the site-guidelines,its in the right forum section and its clear and tidy to your best of your ability. Just because you are posting about selling a technic pin does not mean that you should post this in the technic section. Or if I can not find my favourite 5420 -1 soft rattle in any lego shop does not necessary mean it belongs in the action figure section.

    There is actually a "Hide Function" that staff members can use,but I can see a public version of that leading to trouble with people making "hidden" comments. I just use Google,the topic tagging system on Eurobricks gets abused... People should be treating others with respect and being helpful anyway,no matter if they are a new or old (*cough Jim*).
