Granted I agree that a Lego Technic race car would be difficult to build with a transmission, but let's not forget the supercar 8880. It had instructions for a pretty neat race car (which had, I might add, a two speed tranny). So I think lego would (...) (20 years ago, 18-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)

Ross- You seem to have a lot of truck tires and wheels (the end gearings you used for your big Demag crawler crane's tracks). Have you ever considered building a large scale mobile crane model with them? I am thinking maybe something like the huge (...) (20 years ago, 18-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) This makes sense since the even length axles are now black and the odd length ones are now light grey. Axle pins have also gone to a single color, tan if I recall. -Orion (20 years ago, 17-Jan-05, to lugnet.color, lugnet.parts, lugnet.technic)

Salut Didier, (...) I think they are using different colors for different pins to make building easier, so younger children can do it. And blue for the half-pin seems to be the standard now. Jürgen (20 years ago, 17-Jan-05, to lugnet.color, lugnet.parts, lugnet.technic)

Hi, Sorry if this have ever been discussed.

Dennis Bosman- I have a request of you. Do you ever keep in contact with your colleague Ron Jansen (the builder of the Van Seumeren Liebherr LTM 1400)? Do you know if he has a computer? If he does, would you mind giving me his email address? Thanks. (20 years ago, 17-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)

I came across a design I did 8 months back. The way I have this drawing is that one motor operates the first section, and right beside the motor is a cable that retracts and extends the rest of the boom. I will post pics of it as soon as possible. (20 years ago, 17-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)

Is this why on those big cranes (Demag AC 500) there are a small set of wisible pulleys on the ouraaise left side of the boom? Thanks. Thanks for the drawing. Very helpful! Keep on building cranes! (20 years ago, 17-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)
