Something I think would be interesting would be a measure of the strength of a particular combination before the gears either crunch or break - for example I am sure that the strongest combination of gears (...)

| | | | | (...) I think creating dissagreement is the quickest and most surefire way of generating a reply, consider this proof :-). I would think a pair 40 tooths gears would be the strongest set up. I've never broken either combination so I have no proof. I (...) (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.technic)

The 16 teeth ones definitely are the strongest in this department, and (...) (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.technic)

There are two versions of the 24 tooth crown wheel too - on the older version the part of the tooth which stood above the main body of the gear was much smaller, and I have several with broken teeth 8?( The newer ones are much stronger, but (...)

| | | | I agree about the 8 tooth pinions. I usually use two of them where ever I can to keep from breaking them. They're especially weak because they're undercut. We don't have to destructively test LEGO® parts to create such a table though. There are (...) (23 years ago, 6-Nov-01, to lugnet.technic)
