(...) (URL) Cool! Hey did you try including the positional steering output and connecting it to a switch? You might be able to use the steering control instead of the aux if you can get that to work. Would probably require extra battery power on (...) (19 years ago, 11-Jul-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) This may not eliminate stalls, but try adding a bunch of spinning mass (i.e., a flywheel) somewhere in your gear train, preferably at the output. A big Technic tire (like from 8448 or something similar) would work nicely for this. This will at (...) (19 years ago, 9-Jul-05, to lugnet.technic)

I broke another 9V motor. See my (URL) post> for the first story. I'm building what amounts to a pitching machine for the Great Ball Contraption. In most TECHNIC building you're building a gear train to produce lots of power at the expense of speed. (...) (19 years ago, 9-Jul-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics, FTX)

Hello to you all, This question was asked before in this newsgroup. Then I also answered that these shock are indeed used in the 8369 Dirt Crusher, the radio controlled LEGO car. These shocks can be locked into half extended position and there is a (...) (19 years ago, 5-Jul-05, to lugnet.technic)
