Hello all, I went to TRU this morning to see if I could get the UCS X-wing. They had one left but the box was opened and taped and generally looked bad. I asked an employee, that was restocking the Lego shelves a few feet away, if they had another (...)

(...) Yes I have seen it too. (...) I don't know how to look "inside" a .dat-file. (...) I now that. I have used the rack-shape 10 times for making one tooth. Every time some degrees more.

Hello, It is about 20-25 years ago when I last playede with my 4.5 volt motor, but I remember them very vell. You should be able to buy new "points" at any electronic-part shop. As I remember it they are "single" but I guess that the screw is the (...) (25 years ago, 12-Sep-00, to lugnet.technic)

You should take a look at the ldraw program and the .dat files which accompany it. I have seen gears in there - see how they tackled the problem and take it from there. Also, from looking at my own gears here the teeth are not a straight pyramid (...) (25 years ago, 12-Sep-00, to lugnet.technic)

Hello,, I have a few questions about the Lego Technic Gears. I have tried to draw them in a 3D-CAD program but I can't get the good tooth- shape. (I have made a rack, and used this for "cutting" a gear-tooth in 10 steps and then copied in a circular (...) (25 years ago, 11-Sep-00, to lugnet.technic)

I bought the Expert kit on sale at ZanyBrainy about 3 months ago. It has a certain "neato" factor. Its worth it for that but has its limitations.
