 | | 8480 Space Shuttle Optic Fiber module —Stéphane Simard
|
| | | Hello all, I build for the first time my MISB 8480 Space Shuttle yesterday. Needless to say, awesome set. I was very careful when I built it to make sure that there was no friction whatsoever between the gears and axles, so the only friction came (...) (22 years ago, 16-Dec-02, to lugnet.technic)

So I fiddled around with the whole back section squeezing bricks together, making sure axles lined up etc, and after (...) (22 years ago, 16-Dec-02, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | | | (...) Well, after further feedling with the pulley and battery case, it nows runs at a respectable 2 rotations per second. That's very good, and probably the best the shuttle can get due to the design. But still not fast enough to give a dizzying (...) (22 years ago, 17-Dec-02, to lugnet.technic)

Since LEGO is designed for kids I recon this should be OK, but I still have my concerns for the health of the optic unit...

| | | | (...) That is about the speed I have always gotten with it. I think the FOS light module itself has a tad too much friction in it. If it is manually operated (as in 8456) it works fine, but when motorized it goes a bit slow, and the fact that so (...) (22 years ago, 17-Dec-02, to lugnet.technic)
