(...) Now I have this mental image of 5 rtlToronto guys showing up at the next copmetition with bubblejet printers built out of air tanks, RCX's and 32 long axles. :) Iain (20 years ago, 11-Feb-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Oh! that's a great point. I've always had problems with 12-longs not being long enough for doing this. I kind of forgot about it. Ok, now I want more. Derek (20 years ago, 11-Feb-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) 32-long axles, and there is NO stop, it's a normal axle. The upcoming large technic crane seems to use one too. Seems like it's made of the same type of ABS as the others, so at that lenght its relatively flexible, and twistable. The best use (...) (20 years ago, 11-Feb-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

is this the same 32 long in this set, as in the hockey ones? Also, I thought the hockey axles had "stops" part way down the axle. (URL) (20 years ago, 11-Feb-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) It's the only application where it's shown up so far. There hasn't really been any real world model for a Technic set that really demanded such a long distance...the only one that comes to mind would be the tail rotor of a helicopter or for (...)

(...) I tend to design assemblies with long shafts in a method that is analogous to how high power electricity is transmited over long lines. If you think about torque as amps and voltage as speed, it's just like that. Shafts don't (generally) care (...) (20 years ago, 10-Feb-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) The longer the axle is... the more likely it would be to twist under torque. I wonder how TLC has approached that issue.. perhaps a new plastic ? Ray (20 years ago, 10-Feb-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I can bring some to show, they're pretty neat. I can't think of a project that I would use them for, but there might be some useful ones like the Mindstorms photocopier or some factory assembly stuff. Hrm. Wouldn't it be neat if there was a (...)
