 | | Technic "Ball and Axle" part question.
|
|
Does anyone know all the different sizes of the Technic “ball and axle” parts seen in the Star Wars Technic “Stormtrooper” and “C3PO”? I am making some “home made” versions of these parts and I need to know the different lengths of the axles. Also, (...)

Jay, The Throwbot "ankle" part, as seen on: (URL) the ball and socket joint used in the Stormtrooper (I'm not sure about C3PO, I don't have it). As for the "ball and axle" part, the image is missing the little black ball that fits into the socket, (...) (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

(...) Thanks T.J. I just assumed the axles were attached. Well, this puts a slight crimp in my “home made” version of these parts, I guess my parts will simply have permanent axles. It won’t be as accurate to the real thing, but it is a lot cheaper (...) (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

(...) Okay, I see the problem. Try it without the "p" on the end: (URL) is in Jim Hughes' web site "Technica". If you're not familiar, he has an excellent reference on technic parts. The link above goes to the "Joints" section of the "Throwbots" (...) (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

(...) Thanks again T.J., "Technica" will come in handy, I particularly like how there are links to sets with the part your referencing. Thanks again for your help. Jay (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

(...) AFAIK, the new ball-with technic axle hole only comes with Technic C-3P0 or Stormtrooper, and not any of the Throwbots. I don't think it comes in Bionickles either, but I could be mistaken. ~Grand Admiral Muffin Head (23 years ago, 5-May-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

(...) Thanks mark. I have to say, I am somewhat frustrated that a great mecha part like the “Ball/w axle-hole” is in fairly large and expensive sets, though I am very happy they exist in the first place. Oh well, maybe they will show up in a cheaper (...) (23 years ago, 5-May-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

(...) Check out set numbers 8500, 8503, & 8505 (or any of the sets in the Throwbot/Slizer section) on the Lugnet set reference. Many of the sets contain the part in question. Look at the ankle joint of the 2-legged Throwbot/Slizer-what...-they-are. (...) (23 years ago, 5-May-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

(...) No, the Slizers don't have the ball joint thing, only various joint with ball connections. This thread was about the single ball joint element with an axle hole. The black ball joint with axle hole is, as far as I know, only available in the (...) (23 years ago, 5-May-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

(...) them. (...) The bionicle sets have that part! It is seen best on Tahu's chest. I'm not sure, but I think the stone bionicle (stone, not earth) has 2 of these. Can someone confirm this? NICK (23 years ago, 5-May-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

(...) Thanks T.J. now I know the different lengths to cut my axles. I stated this thread to get info about the “Ball/w axle-hole” I have several of the socket pieces to which you refer, I think they come in every throwbot set. Thanks for the help. (...)

(...) Thanks Fredrik, I am glad to hear the “Ball/w axle-hole” part comes in smaller sets especially since those sets are from the Bionicle series. I like the simplicity of these compared to the throwbots, I just hope they will be cheaper than the (...) (23 years ago, 5-May-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

(...) I don't have the sets myself, but I've heard that there is four or five of them in either of the sets. Does that sound plausible? Fredrik (23 years ago, 6-May-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)
