Hello Jason,
| |
I think these are great, though I can’t help thinking that forcing the clutch
gear to slip a lot of the time is being a bit rough on the LEGO.
|
Well... it slips only when turning in the backwards direction. Not a very
aggressive move ;o) As the slutch slips rather slowly (about 100 rpm) it should
not wear too fast.
I am much more annoyed by the angle transmission at the output of the XL motor
that grinds a lot under load. I have to improve that... (but probably not with
Bulldozer parts unfortunately)
| |
I know you were making these from the Bulldozer. But given other parts, how
about driving the axle on one side of a differential, then applying the
ratchet to the differential cage? Then the vehicle would spin on the spot in
reverse. Though it may also have a tendency to drift to one side when going
forward...
|
IMHO (since there is a lot of friction in tracks), it would be much more than a
tendency!!!. But you could use a driven differential cage with a ratchet on one
output...
