(...) The only thing I've done is to add LEDs. Cutting a 9v jumper came first. But I can't aford to do that to often. Either way, I'd love to see more of this as well. Mat (22 years ago, 12-Aug-04, to lugnet.parts.mod, lugnet.parts.custom)

Has anyone seen instructions, schematics, plans, rough sketches on napkins, etc. for custom electric LEGO parts? LEGO seems to be getting out of the electronics business, which is a shame IMHO. The available selection is quite limited (and pricey (...) (22 years ago, 12-Aug-04, to lugnet.parts.mod, lugnet.parts.custom)

(...) Agree with the high quality = no need for traction tires, but there is more to it than just weight.

Sorry for replying to my own post but I just thought of something that some of these wheels may need to incorporate. I bet there needs to be some sort of rubber traction "tire" on non-conducting wheels. I would hate to see all this get mocked up and (...) (22 years ago, 30-Jul-04, to lugnet.parts.custom)
