  "The Great Lego 8653 Technic Enzo Ferrari Hoax"
 
Where do I begin? I seemed to have been called out on what some are calling a Hoax. Let me start by saying that I really do not appreciate being associated with such a fraudulent claim. I have absolutely no reason to make up any falsehoods. The 8653 (...) (20 years ago, 23-Dec-04, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: Technic Motors in Studless Construction?
 
(...) The RC buggy motors will work, but they run about 3 times the speed of the other motors, so you may want to gear them, anyway. As for mounting 9v motors, you can put Technic 1x2s on both sides of the top, next to the electric connection, and (...) (20 years ago, 22-Dec-04, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Technic Motors in Studless Construction?
 
I have started playing with some of the studless sets (8441 and 8451 picked up on sale) and am trying to figure out how to connect motors to studless... Any ideas/diagrams of ways to connect studless construction/geartrains with the standard 9V (...) (20 years ago, 22-Dec-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) They're tilting doors. I'm sorry, but I just don't have a good pic of them at the moment, and the MOC is still not finished. I'll post the pics as it gets finished. (URL) (20 years ago, 22-Dec-04, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: Simple locking mechanism
 
Do you have a pic of the doors? I'm having trouble to visualize... Initially I was thinking a simple drop latch made with technic...kind of like (URL) but made with say, a short axel and a couple of liftarms like the 41677. -Rob A. (...) (20 years ago, 22-Dec-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Nope, those are garage doors, rubber-band actuated ;-) I just wanted to make good replacement for those expensive lamel garage doors parts, so I basically copied the doors I have in my garage. The problem is that also in reality the doors (...) (20 years ago, 21-Dec-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Aye it shall, even if I have to throw large amounts of $ at Lego to get the parts to do so.. it shall! It seems my Lego collection is too eclectic to have enough to finish it right now.. but I'm working on one... (20 years ago, 21-Dec-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Hi Jindroush, I would try magnets. If it's a really large door maybe 2, but otherwise 1 would probably suffice. ROSCO (20 years ago, 19-Dec-04, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Simple locking mechanism
 
Hi, I have rather large 'doors' which tend to open by theirselves. I need something small (2x2x2 studs max) and simple which would lock the doors in close position. I think about usage of friction, I definitly wouldn't like something which creates (...) (20 years ago, 19-Dec-04, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: SSClagorpion - Status Report
 
(...) 21 cyles per second is good. It will go much slower with 7 more legs. Do you plan on having all the legs be self cycling? How will the legs stay coordinated? I plan on one pison for vertical, and one (maybe two) for horizontal. Do you know the (...) (20 years ago, 19-Dec-04, to lugnet.technic)

Well I have a leg design at current using 2 large cylinders that gets ~21 cycles/minute with 1 leg and a 6 way radial pump (I don't have enough pumps to fill out the full 12 way...) but it's sturdy and strong and fully self cycling...the problem is (...)

  Re: SSClagorpion - Status Report
 
Hi Joseph, There is not much for new news. I have done some study of "limited throw" pneumatics. One of the things that makes the larger pneumatic pistons slower than the small ones is the 6x volume difference compared to small pistons. The travel (...)
