(...) Hey, you're welcome. This model's much more playable and "swooshable" than most of my others, although the front half still has a tendency to snap off if handled too roughly. And do you mean Bohrok, and not Nuva? The Nuva don't have canopies. (...) (22 years ago, 28-Oct-02, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.space)

Hey, you're welcome to your opinion and I'm certainly not going to bash you for it. While I agree that the bionicle parts do seem to be "hanging on", they are, after all, a different color then the rest of the model (that pseudo-silver as opposed to (...)

Nifty Adrian. I quite like the versatility of those wings...all the configurations really ups the play value. I see the canopy for a black Nuva sitting in the bin and keep wondering how I'm going to use it. I think I now know how....tanx! Cheers, -G (...)

Hello, Adrian, While the piece use is awesome, and the studless design is really neat, I dunno about the all the bionicle stuff. In Jon's M-Wing, and in your awesome Megaera, the bionicle pieces are used to supplement the overall shape of the model, (...) (22 years ago, 28-Oct-02, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.space)

Wasn't there some complaining in .space about nothing new happening? Well, how about this. Here's a little ship I built over the weekend after getting inspired by a couple of the new Bionicle Nuva sets. First was Palmer's M-Wing, then my Megaera, (...)

(...) When looking at the axle piece from the motor it seems there is plenty of space, and the redesign of that part would suffice. But then I'm not a mechanical engineer. Jürgen (22 years ago, 27-Oct-02, to lugnet.technic)

As an afterthought... Lego must have realized the problem because the Microscout, Manas motor unit, and Spybots ALL use an axle socket for motor output! With the recent revision of the 9V motors, it would have been nice if they could have (...) (22 years ago, 26-Oct-02, to lugnet.technic)

No, it's not just you... I've found myself many times in the same predicament, and just like you, end up doing something less compact to get around the problem. I haven't peeked inside one of the motors, but I suspect there's probably not a lot of (...) (22 years ago, 26-Oct-02, to lugnet.technic)

You mean like the gear reduction unit in 872? See (URL) for details. You basically have a 4L axle bushing running across the block at the bottom, and a 2L in the middle. Very useful thing to have... Duq "Mark Tarrabain" <markt@lynx.SPAMBLOCK.net> (...) (22 years ago, 26-Oct-02, to lugnet.technic)

Actually that's a pretty good idea, not bad at all. Just think before those axle joiners came out, I used to use a couple of z24s linked together using the axle slotsto extend the output. Legomaster www.mylegomaster.com (22 years ago, 26-Oct-02, to lugnet.technic)

I've often wondered why it was that LEGO decided, when making their technic motors, to have them with such a ridiculously short axle that you almost ALWAYS will need to use an axle joiner to extend it. What would have made more sense (at least to (...) (22 years ago, 26-Oct-02, to lugnet.technic)
