I also noticed that clutch gear was rubbing on the beam, but I found that the radial pattern wasn't as bad as the text side. I just pushed it a tiny bit away from the beam and it seems to be working fine. The only mod I've made so far was switching (...) (17 years ago, 29-Oct-07, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I had something else I forgot to mention earlier: one of my 2L notched pins still had a considerable amount of flash that had to be cut off. The tolerances seem slightly off too, some of the longer studless beams take a lot of force to get the (...) (17 years ago, 29-Oct-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) I didn't notice any trouble, but it's cool that you've already started modding it. I did get a damaged piece- a 3L technic pin was useless. Lucky I have spares! (17 years ago, 29-Oct-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

I've had this set for 3 days now, and on my first build lifting the blade was very erratic, with a lot of stopping and starting. I looked at the <link(URL) offered on the Lego site, but that wasn't an issue. I've just rebuilt it with a fix of my (...) (17 years ago, 29-Oct-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

No shortage of crane options. I like that :-) How about a large pedestal-mounted crane? (2 URLs) Now I'm biased because I built one :-) (URL) But this sort of model lends itself well to RC'ing, particularly with a 4-function control (i.e. just like (...)

(...) I fiddled with lengths in Euklides till I got a reasonnably flat and horizontal path for the foot, while keeping axle lengths even, and came up with this one. After building I had again a closer look at this other simulation: (URL) the bottom (...) (17 years ago, 22-Oct-07, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.technic)

(...) Thats a nice walker. Great job, now I want to place a brickshelf order so i can get more 7L axles. :) May I ask why you went with a longer axle at the "front" of the leg? As opposed to making it a "square" design. Also, great idea on the IR (...) (17 years ago, 23-Oct-07, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.technic)
