I'm pretty not happy with the steering centering myself. I can't get mine to center no matter what I do. Oh well, I only bought the set for the motors anyway. -Rob hmm...New motor...Rail Racer 2003...hmmm "Jason J Railton" <j.j.railton@ntlworld.com> (...) (22 years ago, 22-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I just want to add that I've only seen two of these, and they both had a minute problem with centering the steering. A full proportional system has a trim setting on the transmitter, since the signal is constantly sent all the time the (...) (22 years ago, 22-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic)

Hi pneumatic fans, Thanks to a couple of kind folks, I've been able to trace the art of building pneumatic "steam"-engines to the early days when the single acting cylinders were introduced by LEGO. Here is a page to pay tribute to these pioneer (...) (22 years ago, 22-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

(...) Depends on construction technique. For my small mobile crane the construction I used meant the boom was significantly weaker than normal (bending-wise), and in fact when it failed, even though I was watching closely, it went so fast I was (...) (22 years ago, 19-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic)

Great Crane! I am so jealous of the amount of bricks and plates you guys have. (...) That's what I keep finding. The hardest part of the crane to get strong enough tends to be the base/outriggers/crawler frames. The boom is easily strong enough. You (...) (22 years ago, 19-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic)

Dean, the clutch idea works perfectly! I make a simple drive base like the one in your post using the clutch gear, added a couple of motors, tested it using a couple of dual-switch battery boxes, then tested it with an RCX and a remote. It drives (...) (22 years ago, 18-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) You have to look very closely at the crane, and pay careful attention to it as the lift progresses. I first take the slack out of the lifting lines, and then reel in the line in short bursts. Slowly, but gently, the object will begin to lift. (...) (22 years ago, 17-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic)
