  1. Yea, I need way less output from my pneumatic system than you large scale builders..
  2. This sounds pretty promising, since I plan on buying an Android phone this would be better than the buggy (so I heard) SBrick on the Android app store. Any disadvantages compared to SBrick, assuming an Android platform? I get the feeling that SBrick is probably best for iOS.
  3. I might trade that M motor for an L motor. Otherwise definitely the best design I've seen yet! What sets have the 6L pneumatic cylinder?
  4. Yes, I just heard of a wonderful compressor. If you are building medium or large scale, use the large pneumatic cylinders; small-scale, use small pneumatic cylinders for your air "shock absorbers" instead of shock absorbers.Here is that compressor: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=108379
  5. It doesn't have to be 4 pumps in a row. Thanks! If I used that I would replace the L motor with an M motor- surely the 4 pumps don't generate that much resistance... If it works for motorizing 4 functions, it will work just fine for my 1 function (air suspension). Thanks!
  6. hello, what's the smallest possible pneumatic compressor (not an autovalve, just a compressor) which pumps 4 small pneumatic cylinders? I was considering Sariel's rocking compressor design in his 1st book, but it seems like there should be a smaller version possible. Thanks!
  7. I'm impressed. The special effects look cheap, but otherwise an A+ film.
  8. lol studless easily wins, just give me some system bricks to put on top
  9. Why not couple 4 XL motors? Or 8 L motors? You will get more power.
  10. What is the valve? I don't need to control anything which is not controlled in that video. The M motor (I see no reason to use another motor, considering the M motor's relatively small power consumption) will be controlled via SBrick. Thanks! Does this answer your question? I feel like there should be a way to make this smaller.
  11. Agreed about terminology. However, since the latest diff was by definition designed for the studless system, it is a "studless" (hoping this makes sense) diff, and the older one I see used rarely- even Sariel used the "studless" (newest version of the) diffs in his Dakar truck, and that, as a whole, the studless system and related diffs is generally on a larger scale than studless. yes, that was my point Blakbird That's true, 8880 gives almost every Technic set these days a run for its money in terms of gearbox for vehicle speeds, not for functions which should be manual (like in 24h race car), suspension, etc. However, 8880's bodywork is definitely rudimentary and easier to instantly recognize as being Lego to a non-FOL. Great insight, learn something new every day.
  12. Hi EB, I'm looking into good, compact pneumatic compressors for use in an air suspension using 4 small pneumatic cylinders. Are there any ones out there more compact/less parts intensive AND higher capacity (2+ of those little pneumatic cylinders)? This is the best one I have found so far. Compactness is my main want. thanks!(PS, this is for my little Hard Truck Contest (HTC) event.)
  13. Or getting rid of the thermal protection. Considering that 2 XL motors use 2/3 the current of an RC motor and the same power, 2 XL motors would be superior, right?
  14. What's the torque difference between an XL motor and an RC motor? Thanks!
  15. Are RC motors way better than XL motors? I want to build, is there any real reason to use RC motors instead of hard-coupled XL motors?
  16. I would love if someone could create an LXF with the body attached... ZBLJ please I think it should have Sariel's new 4 speed gearbox, it's strong enough it could handle the torque and RPM... I will build an LXF with XL motors instead of RC motors (since I don't have the money for RC motors)
  17. If you don't couple the XL motors, each axle gets half the torque, so I wouldn't do that.
