   Hello Brian,

it’s two of Technic, Liftarm 1 x 4 Thin built into Technic, Gearbox Half mounted on a Z40. The lift arms are the ones that twist.

Let me know what you both find out
Marco

Marco,

Just so I get a better understanding, the Liftarm twists under the weight of the Mech causing “wobbliness” or undesired movement?

However, the liftarm has not broken nor twisted to the point that it is forever ruined?

Brian

Hi Brian,

yes the lift arms twist under the weight. No they don’t cause wobbliness or undesired movement. You can see what happens on this picture picture. The turntables should stand nearly verticaly upright. They dont because of the twisted liftarms. You se the effect best when comparing to this picture. Just compare the left turntable.

Hope this will help
Marco
