  pneumatics
 
I am disappointed, specifically in the so called pneumatics parts pack (5218). This pack is nothing more than a boatload of Technics parts that you may or may not need sprinkled with one each of pneumatics parts that you actually want. You may need (...)

  Re: pneumatics
 
(...) I disagree, John. This kit is great and fairly affordable. The only better source for pneu parts is the Tow Truck 8462. It's not widely available in the US (DYA has several for around US$70, but add $20 for shipping, and be prepared to wait a (...) (24 years ago, 9-Sep-00, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: pneumatics
 
Well, if you only need some of the parts, perhaps what you should do is sell or trade off the stuff you don't need, or find a buyer who will take the bits you don't want? If two or more people split up a few packs, then the cost should be reduced a (...) (24 years ago, 9-Sep-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Pitsco is still showing the "Pneumatic Circuit" (hand pump, valve, 48mm cylinder, and tubing) as being available for $9.50 on their website. It's annoying for robotics types to have to keep buying those pesky hand pumps in order to get valves (...) (24 years ago, 10-Sep-00, to lugnet.technic)

  RE: pneumatics
 
(...) Has anyone tried using the pumps as valves? IIRC, the first (red?) pneumatic valves only had the bottom pip for an air hose. If you remove the spring for the pump, might it work the same way? The pumps are kind of wide (and long) for (...) (24 years ago, 10-Sep-00, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: pneumatics
 
The old red cilinders are in-and outside exactly the same as the pumps. Remove the spring --> perfect working cilinder. With the yellow ones it won' t work! Klaas H. Meijaard Bram Lambrecht schreef: (...) (24 years ago, 10-Sep-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Or monster trucks: with the advent of the Power Puller, they can't be far behind. I can see competitions to find out who can roll over and crush the most Town Jr cars ;-) With a check valve on the output, they might even make realistic (i.e., (...)

(...) Well, okay. As an alternative, Wal-mart has their Mega Bloks NASCAR 4-pak on closeout for $3. At 75 cents a pop, you won't have to feel guilty if you really do crush one. Plus you get a few bricks to build walls you can crash tank and mecha (...) (24 years ago, 11-Sep-00, to lugnet.technic)
