(...) A corollary to this (that I discovered yesterday - apologies if this is already well known) is that you can use a bushing to lock a driving ring to the axle - the same notches that allow the bushing to fit between four studs will act as the (...)

(...) Hi Ari, I'd love to build it. No lack of necessary parts here. Could you post (or send me) a copy of the LDraw file you took that screenshot from? Never mind if it's incomplete. It's just easier to build if I can see it from different angles. (...) (15 years ago, 7-Jan-10, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

Hi, here is an idea to build a good old fashioned twin stick truck transmission. I don't have enough synchro parts so I can't build this myself. Is there any volunteers to build and test it? :) (URL) Schematics> (URL) Twin Stick 5x4> More accurate (...) (15 years ago, 7-Jan-10, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) Very nice! There have been many prototype engines designed using similar techniques in the past, there's a page about them (URL). ROSCO (15 years ago, 30-Dec-09, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

OK, here comes another one! (2 URLs) This has a new (?) method of locomotion - it rolls along just by changing its shape. The wheels are fixed to the body and do not rotate. In principle you could enclose the whole thing in a plastic bag and it (...) (15 years ago, 30-Dec-09, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX)

I'm glad this little model is generating so much excitement! ;-) (...) Interesting to hear I'm not the only one to experience these issues with turntables! (In a second-hand technic set I once bought, someone had inserted ball bearings inside the (...) (15 years ago, 30-Dec-09, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Yes, there are many possible sources of frictions differences, especially in the turntables, quite sensitive to assembly (I had to lubricate two of them). After making sure that all parts were correctly aligned and fully plugged, it worked (...) (15 years ago, 29-Dec-09, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Cool! It feels strange to see it in someone else's house! :-) It looks as if you added some extra gears on the top. Is that just for decoration, or to increase the friction to prevent unwanted turning? (At one point I decided I needed that, (...) (15 years ago, 28-Dec-09, to lugnet.technic)
