(...) Hi Pat, Well I think the 8860 is a great place to start. That configuration could hold a lot of weight, do you have any idea how much you need to support? (URL) (18 years ago, 13-Nov-06, to lugnet.technic)

Hi Technic Gurus! I'm starting what I consider to be an ambitious project -- My area of "expertise" (if you will) is Classic Space, but I am considering a large space vehicle with potential dimensions of 22 studs width and between 64 and 80 studs (...) (18 years ago, 13-Nov-06, to lugnet.technic)

Well I've just built this, and I can say that with a minor modification the pump works fine. You need to join the outputs from the two switches depicted through a third switch to prevent pressure being lost through the exhaust port. However, since (...) (18 years ago, 12-Nov-06, to lugnet.technic)

You might as well use it in style-- (URL) YouTube vid in which I connected the LEGO capacitor to a 9v motor and dropped it on the 854 go-cart chassis Yes it wasn't the original blue 854--I wasn't willing to put that one in harms way :) Anyway, (...)

Hey, This is, indeed, an awesome set, both as a town set and as a source of parts (31 14-long technic beams alone, not to mention other beams and technic bits, plus tons of basic bricks, plates, tiles). To me it's the porta-potty that makes the set, (...) (18 years ago, 9-Nov-06, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

I received a Lego catalogue the other day, and there are quite a few nice sets in it but one particularly caught my eye, the 7905 building crane. (URL) it's a City set but it's got enough technic to interest us. It's full of yellow or grey studded (...) (18 years ago, 9-Nov-06, to lugnet.technic)
