A couple of Technic fun models from a couple of years ago: A crown, using some technic body parts from C3P0. Technic parts make it fit well on my head: (URL) A working tambourine, with overlapping Technic beams, for quite a strong structure, and (...)

(...) I burned out two of these motors in a high-torque situation (my Great Ball Contraption module prototype) which I posted about (URL) here> and (URL) here>. I don't like them for their friction, their louder sound, and that they "feel" cheaper (...) (19 years ago, 27-Oct-05, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) Hi Jacub, that's a really nice crane! I especially like the support vehicles you built for it, really makes it complete. Is the jib held on with rubber bands? Nice simple idea! Did you drill out the centre of the 1/2 bushes so they rotate (...) (19 years ago, 27-Oct-05, to lugnet.town, lugnet.trains, lugnet.technic)

|

Hello Gyl, This gearpack is the rear axle of the Dirt Crusher RC set 8369 Since the dirt crusher uses 7.2 volt Rc racingpack batteries so the motor will probably use 7.2 volt... Connection is only possible to the receiver part of the dirt crusher. (...) (19 years ago, 26-Oct-05, to lugnet.technic)

This is not new, but I have never made a folder exclusively for the dump truck I began designing in December of 2001. It is 4-wheel drive, steers from the cab, has a V-8 engine and very old tyco pieces which I used to put the old-style pneumatic (...) (19 years ago, 26-Oct-05, to lugnet.technic)

Here is a mini fig scale Gottwald AMK 1000t mobile crane. There was only one of these ever built. This Lego crane uses 2 micro motors, one running the main hook, and the second running the hold back line for the jib. The counter weight is made up of (...)

Well, it is not much of a media watch, because it is such a small market, but I'm going to be on the local cable access television "The Owatonna Today Show" (indian name pronounced oh-wah-tah-na). On October 26th, I'll be on for a whopping 12 (...) (19 years ago, 25-Oct-05, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.technic)
