There are two issues here. 1. Can the motors sustain more than 9 volts without damage? If I was TLC designing motors for use by kids, I'd make sure there was a large safety margin. New batteries are typically 0.1 - 0.2 volts above their nominal 1.5 (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.technic)

Yes, nice job. Well done! (...) If you're going for a real power puller, then a ratio of 24:1 sounds good. But beware! You'll be getting into gear-breaking torques. Be sure to use the new style 24t gears, if you should need 24t gears. I agree with (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.technic)

Judging only from some of the artwork in the back of the new sets' instruction manuals, it seems that the new legs on the Toa Nuva may have some kind of hinge-like knee joint. That would be a good thing. It's also possible that there is artistic (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)

Hi Ross, that crane is fantastic! What is the real hight in cm? Is it over 2 metres? Should be, because the crane is much taller then you at the "me.jgp" ...
