If you have a turntable around, you can do even better than that. I never
counted how many teeth it has on the outside, but it's a lot more than the
40t gear. And even better, it has molded on "mini-beams" to attach other

The RCX set doesn't include a turntable, so this won't help the original
poster of the question.

| I second the turntable suggestion. Triple black pin two beams to the molded-in mounting lugs and you can make a perfect space to worm-gear the outer ring. As an added bonus you get tons of mounting surface to put the rest of your big- rig (...) (24 years ago, 21-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics)
