just wondering if i did anything wrong, i posed a problem a while back and
haven't gotten any responses....
but anyways, there is an update to my website:
http://odin.prohosting.com/mrplanet
you will find a new page that has a new differential which has been made
thinner and with a lot less gear lash.
by using the 12t bevel gearsface to face i found a nice tight gearing with a
direct change in rotation. and if you use this in a frame (like we always
do) you can decrease the width by exactly 1 stud making it a nice 6 studs
wide.
i'm going to check the links right now because there was trouble last time
with the *.dat link.
regards.

Nice work. I think you forgot to relocate the axles when you changed to
the bevel gears. The way it's drawn the 5L axles penetrate the teeth of
the 16-tooth gears and the bevel gears intrude on the adjacent axles.

You've done nothing wrong as far as I know.
Sometimes you just don't get a response and that goes for everybodey (except
perhaps Jennifer who gets like a zillion :)).

I dunno about the rest but my initial reaction when I wisit that page is
that it's taken down for mantianance, until I scroll down. Perhaps some
ppl. just wont scroll?

Lazy as I am, how well does that work? It's an interesting use of the bevel
gears...

well, you have to mess with the tension for a little while to get the proper
"feel" of a diff. pretty much i imagine this to be used in larger vehicles
that need a more sturdy diff. looking back at the pics i think that i have
to re-do the *.dat. now that i have had a chance to look again. i think that
i just don't have the proper placement of width because i'm lazy and put the
snap to coarse so the axels will look like they are going through the 8t
gears but really they aren't.
any q's?

After playing with your designs for a bit, I decided to see if I could make it
any thinner. I did, but it's a compromise: compared to your thindiff, I suspect
mine is looser, less sturdy, and more prone to binding. It is, however, only 5
studs total. I would still use yours unless I really had to have it smaller (or
I didn't have another 40t gear!).

Ooh ooh ooh! I wonder if this was based on my idea from last year.
I created this Nov 2001 to help someone out.

If so, that's cool that it's being further developed.

you could make that one stud thinner by placing it within a framework. now i
have something else to work on... i did recently make on from a 24t gear but
it rotates around one of the four holes off axis and is really only good for
use in a sensor array such as a track alighment system can't remember the
link off hand but i think that i can find an image.
