(...) Hi Eric, Thanks for sharing with your findings about the new PF remote with us! I haven't played with it yet, so was very curious to know about some implementation details and you gave full light on those. From your description the remote (...)

Owen and Mike, The 2825 part connects the input shift with the orbiter. The part that was shown in the original LDRAW model clearly does not work because all its holes are round and so there is no way of transferring torque to the orbiter body. The (...) (16 years ago, 23-Mar-09, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Apologies for not having part numbers to hand.. You did mean the 1x5 not the 1x4 liftarm? if so Owen is right the cog must turn freely hence the excessive 1x5 liftarm.
