A little while ago I asked how to make a decagon nicely out of LEGO. Now I need to make a hexagon. I'm building a model of the HUSS Jump2: (URL) far, so good. I think I can build 6 of these (I'll have to buy more micromotors, though). But now at the (...) (22 years ago, 10-Feb-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Chris, We're currently planning to run a non-public train workshop the March 1 weekend. So if you *care* about where the Jeffs, Derek, Dave and Calum are during the RC event, you might want to avoid that weekend. As for colliding with KotH, I dunno, (...)

(...) I think it effectively uses 9 data streams, the switch selects which 3 are assigned to the 3 controls (ditto in reverse for the receiver). But I could be wrong.... ROSCO (22 years ago, 10-Feb-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) You can't run a 5599 at the same time as an 8475. They interfere with each other, and only one of them works at a time. I'm not sure how Lego does the different 8475 channels, since they're all on 27 MHz... Maybe they use slightly different (...) (22 years ago, 10-Feb-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) No because they're only on one channel. You can't have two 5599/5600's running at the same time. I suppose if everyone has 8475's, someone can enter a 5599/5600, but you're still at a disadvantage: All you have is a car. The 8475 allows for a (...)
