I have created a new mecha the pelvis section is only 1 stud wide. It looks awesome. I'm thinking of a name but won't ask for suggestions till you see what it looks like. If I got a dinky web cam, would I be able to take a good picture of it? (...) (23 years ago, 23-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

about an hour after i posted i had this great idea to use the ball joints from the legs and arms of the old throw bots. normally i would never mutalate pieces like this but my dogs think they make great chew toys, anyway I just use them in (...) (23 years ago, 23-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Welcome to LUGNET Jacob. Of course I am still generally a new name in mecha building here, new compared to builders like Mladen, but nonetheless I usually display my mecha here. About the reliable hip joints, that is something I have been (...) (23 years ago, 23-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Bravo, bravo. I think you've got the essence of something here. Barebones model. I particuarily like the "eye" What I find most intriguing about this guy is the potential. Think, not only is it a trainer but build on it a little and you have a (...) (23 years ago, 22-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) You can use the old Throwbot gear boxes. Two put together and then click in a technic beam on one end. My Q model uses this in the legs and hips giving it slender and strong legs. Someone suggested to me that the design would benifit an EVA (...) (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

this is my first post, and i just wanted to ask if anybody has any reliable hip joint designs for medium to large bots? (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) It depends on the width of the legs and the total weight of the model. If you have thin legs (no more than 4 studs) and a light Eva, using several click hinges in parallel will do the trick. Ebay is a good sources for large numbers of click (...) (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) I'd have to agree here, Mladen. The set is made based on the parts available at the time. Also, the designers need to make a recognizable model without copying an existing one.
