Hi all, (2 URLs) For those that haven't been following along with the pics on Brickshelf, I'd like to present my latest MOC, a (approximately) 1:13 scale model of a DEMAG CC2800 crawler crane. Future stages will attempt to model 2 different boom (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jun-04, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !!

(...) I just built that, but using the instructions, the 20t bevel gear used for 1st gear scrapes one of the 1x8 plates. Moving the plates up to the top solves the problem (I also used 2x8s to help keep it square). HTH ROSCO (20 years ago, 7-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

(...) From what I've been told of mechanical physics, part distortion is also a concern. There's a tradeoff between making the pump design sturdier and keeping the overall weight/size down. Flat component pumps can be squeezed into available empty (...) (20 years ago, 5-Jun-04, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

You could place cylinders anywhere you've got a little open space, rather than having to make space for a bulky cluster of them. (URL) (...) (20 years ago, 3-Jun-04, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
