(...) I wonder why competative winching has bever been a sport? What you'd do is connect the winches on two trucks, and whichever drags the other to the mid point first wins. You wouldn't be allowed to connect the trucks to anything but you could (...) (16 years ago, 30-Apr-09, to lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.technic)

For the past 6 months on and off I've been trying to create a Technic construction vehicle... with all tries miserably failing, until recently I managed to pull up a nice undercarriage system which, in my opinion, is kind of huge. I originally (...) (16 years ago, 24-Apr-09, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

Hi all, Had my camera back so figured I'd upload a video of the new PF controller controlling some old 9V stuff. It's hooked to an original PF battery box, don't have he new one and haven't tested the old 9V b-box. (URL) (16 years ago, 21-Apr-09, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.technic)

(...) He probably means two clutch gears in a single axle, meshing with two other gears which also share an axle. That way (in parallel) they should slip at twice the nominal torque. (16 years ago, 18-Apr-09, to lugnet.technic)

(...) That's not a bug- it's a feature. The point is to protect the motor from damage. That said, I bet if you used two clutch gears you'll get twice the allowable torque. I don't recommend it- but you could try it and see what you think. (16 years ago, 17-Apr-09, to lugnet.technic)

(...) With the PF and NXT motors, i perhaps agree with you. Of course, you can get any torque limit you want by gearing up and then back down, it's just more awkward. (16 years ago, 16-Apr-09, to lugnet.technic)
