I have had a idea stay tuned.... I think you should try a 3D printer from 3D Hubs.com. I did a quick test and it said that I could make on of the hub parts for around 15 euros.

We have prices for Effermans parts..... Prices are in uk pounds, parts made in nylon.

Ok I will get a quote for that...I think if will be similar to your latest quote.

Efferman there is a problem with the scaling with your file,can you answer the question below...... "I had a look at them - some of them came out very small (under 1mm) - I thnk that there is a inch/cm/mm unit issue - can you give me the XYZ dimension of this parts and I can scale the others accordingly (they will all be the same)"

Done....

Quote sent,I should hear back tomorrow.

Sorry Efferman can you save them as STL files. Regarding prices it is the volume of materiel that is expensive.If you can break your part into one stud thick sections if possible.

What was the set number again?

Man I got lucky big time..... If you want to pm me the files I could get a quote from the place I am using.

I think he has forgotten to add some pins.

Its grown again.....

A very impressive face shovel.

You should be able to get that made quite easily if I got my parts made then you can get your made.... Should you not have a small recess in the main part so that the small lip on the hub fits into it?

Pro builder coming through.... Here is the new three speed gearbox with another gearbox controlling each side. I should now pick up speed,as it should be plain sailing all the way to the end. Sorry about the picture quality.

Looking good efferman between us both we will knock some since into the technic part catalogue.....

I meant to say third.

Hello Darylt and welcome to Eurobricks. The first thing that comes into mind is the driving rings (or gearbox) not engaging properly,have you checked this?

I am pleased that some of you are interested in trying out these custom parts along with me. I do like to stick to lego made parts as much as possible but this I had to try and make because it can allow to you to pass a forth function though a turntable. With this part we can make mini excavators with a blade and expandable tracks while keeping it compact,or using it in cranes. You can now have all the motors in the lower half.

I am not too sure if they could or not,but you could always get a set to test your ideas out... I would not think postage would be any more than £10.....

I just built it there and then...2 mins?

Yeb that in turn drives the two black bevel gears at the steering rack.

Defiantly. Take a look at Jovel's video.

We can do that....

I have about 15 or so of those red panels....

I can tell you the price will be about £10 Uk pounds (inc postage) - 12 Euros? It will be slightly more if you are in the states or another far away place. Very cheep!
