  T.J's Diff
 
T.J, I see you've built that diff that was advertised here recently. (URL) does it compare with the standard diff? Steve (23 years ago, 31-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: Wiring Gear Motors
 
(...) Hey Greg, If your looking to connect to a speed controller, you can use a LEGO 9v train controller. Other than that, sure, you can cut and splice to your hearts content. Robert Powell SCLTC (23 years ago, 31-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: MOC Kanapu, the Lightning Toa
 
Doug, nice job. I like the bow/arrow combination. Nice use of parts... also like the part about "Toa who should not exists, yet does, defying the prophacies" -- way to spin the LEGO story. - Steve (...) (23 years ago, 30-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)
 
  Re: Wiring Gear Motors
 
(...) Sure, you can wire it up to anything you want to. But do so at your own risk. I've used an AC adaptor (12V, 1A output) with my 9V motors for quite a while now and they work fine. My only advice would be to cut your Lego wires a good length (...) (23 years ago, 30-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Wiring Gear Motors
 
Is it at all possible to wire a regular Lego gear motor to outside electronics? It seems like it could be done by cutting one end off of a Lego wire and reattaching other wires so that the motor could be plugged into something like a speed (...) (23 years ago, 30-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Telescope
 
Could somebody help to nderstand how to use the telescope and would someone also tell me when the next update will be as it appears you can tell using the telescope. Thanks, Tim (23 years ago, 30-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)
 
  Re: 8466 4 wheel steering?
 
(...) I certainly like the way most of the new cars use only one shock absorber per wheel. That is much more realistic than the twin shock abosorbers from 8880. It is also better, as two shock absorbers add more friction to the suspension, making it (...) (23 years ago, 30-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: Wheels
 
Hello Tobias (...) I know at least 4 types of balloon tyres: 43.2 x 28 56 x 30 68.8 x 40 100 x 60 The tyres of the 8465 looks like the 68.8 x 40 to me... The look the same as the tyres of the 8459 or 8464 (pneumatic front end loader) If you take a (...) (23 years ago, 30-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: Wheels
 
Are there two or three sizes of them, then? Maybe I was wrong, thinking it only was two. The wheels on the 8465 doesn't look as small as the Exploration Mars ones. --Tobias (...) (23 years ago, 30-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)
 
  MOC Kanapu, the Lightning Toa
 
Well since I have not been able to get my web site up, thought it would eb fair to show off another one of my creations. This is Kanapu, a new Toa who should not exists, yet does, defying the prophacies. But will she help the Toa, or destroy them? (...) (23 years ago, 30-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)
 
  Re: Wheels
 
Hello Tobias (...) As far as I can tell, the big ones are in the Powerpuller (8457) and the big 4x4 (8466) these wheels are about 10 centimeters in diameter... greetings Maico Arts (23 years ago, 29-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Wheels
 
I have a few questions regarding different types of wheels. I'd like four *big* ballon tyres, not small like those you get in the Police Buggy or the Exploration Mars set. 1. Are the ballon tyres in the Wheel Pack (5219, I think it was) of the big (...) (23 years ago, 29-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: New Tower Crane
 
(...) Awesome crane! As for string, I've been using a special fishing line I discovered. Unfortunately I'm not a fisherman so I can't describe what its for but I can tell you what it looks like. Its a black braided thread, much like lego string. Its (...) (23 years ago, 29-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: 8466 4 wheel steering?
 
(...) I would recommend it, for sure, for the new parts (the springs are unique too, as they are stiffer than the grey/black ones, in the same way as 8458's yellow springs are), and the chunky, robust design, but the one thing that disappoints me is (...)

  Re: TLG Article in "Fast Company".
 
(...) I just read this article. People can find it on the web here: (URL) was a very good treatment about what Lego has to do to keep up with the times. Many of the themes that we complain about here are found in this article. They spent a great (...)

  Re: 8466 4 wheel steering?
 
(...) That's just the kind of challenges I like! Perhaps I should try to grab one of the 8466 sets. On the other hand, I kinda like making small vehicles nowadays. BTW, can I ask one more question on the 8466 setup? One problem with the 8880 setup (...) (23 years ago, 29-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)
 
  My pellet guns on Brickshelf finally.
 
(URL) of the pictures can be found here, (URL) for the movies of the guns firing. Unfortunately I forgot to make one of the p-86 before I broke it down, and it was the most powerful gun! oh well, More pics will be added soon, The pics I do have (...)

  Re: 8480 landing gear
 
(...) I seem to recall I had to adjust the meshing of some bevel gears to get it just right, but if you line them up just like it shows on page 37 (step 23), it should work fine. Also, you were asking about the correction sheet - in fact it's really (...) (23 years ago, 29-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: 8480 landing gear
 
(...) I'm sure it goes like clockwork - certainly I noticed nothing amiss when I built it, although admittedly this was some time ago and my memory may be at fault. One thing I did notice was that the large bevel gears in the gearbox responsible for (...) (23 years ago, 29-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)
