I guess it is a matter of finding the right scale frame to fit the weight
allowance of the given joint for the over all completed Mecha.
With The Cub, I found the joints quickly became over loaded.
I think therefore The Cub is more of a sculpture then a practical "playable"
Mecha. Though I don't *really play with them, just set them up so they look nice
and toss them in a box and break them out for displays or shows.
Ok Ok, I admit, I play with the ZRX2, beacuse it is so poseable.
The other creations I make all usually have the goal of being able to stand
without aid. That is why I use worm gears so much. btw, is that what you mean by
usual Sophie-Mecha? Or are all the slopes I reguarlly use making it an issue?
Any help you could give would be most apreciated.
