I like how you grew the feet. Wing plates work good on the feet, right?!
They have a cool shape and match the body scheme well.
An idea I wanted to share. • Hey, you make me feel honored.
I, and others have found, that by using a z40 in a Throw Bot Gear Box, has a
manageble amount of backlash. Less so than the circumfrence bearing of a z24.
Like this:
Trick is to add the 2L axle and technic plates, then lock them to the Main
Technic Beams with another crossmember axle. This puts the wieght on the
gear, NOT the axle. Further making for a stiffer joint and more manageable
backlash.
I figured I’d pass the tip along. Hope it helps.

It does. I have this combination in the knee. But without the technik beams
outside the gear box. The trick with the 2L axle might help to reduce the
problems I have with twisting of the liftarms due to the weight.

Super cool exploded view. Nice!

I like it too.

Very cool mods and improvements. Stormwalker is better than ever, but just as
cool as I first remember. Thank you!
