(...) Nice design. Oh man, the design of the 24t gear at the back of this propeler is realy lame. That whole part is very un-legoish. 1) Perhaps you could use the old friction connector instead of the new one: i.e. part 4459 instead of part 2780. (...) (22 years ago, 8-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

The need for accessory packs is certainly justified. I'd be happy if we could just get the 4wd steering parts from the 8880. I think this would be a good start (and packs of studded beams of course). Steve (22 years ago, 8-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)

How about inserting the 24T gear into half a large turntable, and securing the other end of the turntable using axles. I know this gets very large where you don't want to get large, but it might provide stability in ways the other solutions do not. (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Have you considered using lubricant between the 1x 4 beam and axle? I know I did, many times, but never got around to do it. Do you think it might reduce the friction enough? (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

Yes, I had tried that. I was unable to prevent all the rotation at the friction pin, and even a small amount of movement there caused significant wobble/binding. Mark Haye "Ross Crawford" <rcrawford@csi.com> wrote in message (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)
