  Re: Building a realistic working road grader from Technic LEGO parts.
 
(...) I did a large technic road grader in 2006, and although the steering works, it does not work exactly like the real thing. I tried to modify it to make the blade rotate further, but it did not work and the design in the pictures is finished. (...) (17 years ago, 6-Dec-07, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: Building a realistic working road grader from Technic LEGO parts.
 
(...) Have you thought about using pneumatics for the front end? Are you planning on a newer style machine? Old motor graders had linkage and drive shafts to run everything. Modern machines are all hydraulic and use hydrostatic front wheel drive. I (...) (17 years ago, 2-Dec-07, to lugnet.technic)

  Re: Killough platform with power functions
 
(...) Here are some building instructions (or at least an MLCad file). The PF parts are not shown, but it should be clear where they go: (URL) For anyone planning to build one, there is a warning: the way the wheels are put together may cause some (...)

Here are the photos of my new Rail Crane with Power Functions: (URL) It's an 8mm scale model of a Cowans Sheldon 76T crane.

  Re: Killough platform with power functions
 
(...) No - the mechanism with the differentials does precisely this conversion for you! As you say, there is one IR channel for each motor. I am controlling it using this: (URL) The joystick on the left (inspired by this one (URL) from Mark Bellis) (...) (17 years ago, 24-Nov-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
