Ah, but you were asking for parts we want not fudges we can achieve! I want the ridge intact in the correct place! I can make 7U axles as well! William -----Original Message----- From: news-gateway@lugnet.com [mailto:news-gateway...net.com]On Behalf (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

This is any easy one, the only tool you need is a pair of little electronics type diagonal cutters like Radio Shack sell for about $5 I think - red plastic coated handles made from die cut sheet metal. You can use them to nip the ridge off from (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

Now two parts I *would* pay for A black friction version of the 3/4 dark grey pin. If you attach a half width studless beam/liftarm to a full width beam with two of the dark grey ones it more often than not wobbles too much - I want a nice tight (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

I agree - but then ... Check out my variation of Jennifer's Bobcat at (URL) and if you look closely at "...squeeze.jpg" you'll see that the rear axle on the left protrudes slightly - that's because it really needs to be a 7U one - The same is also (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

Yeah, Roboslizonicles are a great source of supply of "raw" material ;) The part you describe yields a ball with a short length of cross axle attached from the other end when you chop it up as well. With some of these highly specialised parts, I try (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

There are two different "carrier disks". One has a center round hole, the other a center cross axle hole. They both have a pair of cross axle holes and pair of round holes around the outside. The cross axle holes are used to pin the two disks (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

I was thinking along the lines of the old planetary gearboxes where different gear ratios could be selected by applying a brake to the appropriate anulus. ROSCO "Xanthra47" <jmantor@nycap.rr.com> wrote in message news:GtxCHy.CyG@lugnet.com... (...) (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

We don't even need that. Two of John's Internal gear bricks, two carriers, some pinions and some axels are enough for a two stage planetary set. Drive the first stage "sun" with a pinion on a technic gear motor, connect the output of the 1st carrier (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

I was hoping you had done that : ) Very Slick ! I'm confused by your pics, though. Why are two of the four axles for the planet gears fixed to the carrier such that they can't rotate ? -Xanthra47 PS. You're gonna sell these, right ? I'll take at (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

I've occasionally wished for a 7x7, 56-tooth gear (same size as the outside of the large turntable). I know others have taken turntables apart to use them as gears (I think I saw this usage in a clock mechanism). In fact, I'd buy several (say 10 or (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)
