(...) Indeed, while the stackable brick system sounds good for some cases, I think a greater degree of flexibility would be achieved by having the air supplied to each switch seperate hoses as in the current system. Certainly it may be desirable to (...) (25 years ago, 24-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)

I don't know if anyone else has come up with this, but here's a way to get really long wires cheap. I'm building a control box for 6 motors with regular switches, since the LEGO ones are too expensive IMHO. And since the control box won't be part of (...)

(...) Wow, that's pretty sweet... Cool model. I think I agree with you there, it needs to be a bit taller. Battle Droids only crouch slightly on a STAP, they usually look like they're standing up. I'd say increase the height by about 3 maybe 4 (...) (25 years ago, 23-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.starwars)

Hey all, Just added some pics of my newest creation. (URL) not exactly color-coordinated right, but brown is hard to come by. Also, after looking at it, I think I'm gonna add a brick or to to the height, under the engines. -Kleric (25 years ago, 23-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.starwars)

I took a second look at it. when you put on the upper plates (pic 6) it's hard to see the gear, but in pics 3,4,5 it's quite obvious - three gears inside the inner box, one of them connected to the same axle as the pulley (making left-right movement (...)

Yeah, the springs on these yellow shock absorbers are much stiffer than the normal ones. Although on the Silver Champion, even they are not enough to hold up the chassis properly (sometimes when it is pushed down, it stays down). They work quite (...) (25 years ago, 23-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)
