Question: Since I don't know what the z24 exactly looks like on the prop, is
it just like the regular gear? Reason I say, I'm curious, because you could
use the holes on the gear to pin another z24 to it and then you'd have a
place to mount another short axle to it, therby increasing the stability.
Your right on the money about getting fancy with planetary gear arrangments.
That just piles up the weight.
Let me know if the z24 on the back of the prop is like the standard gears
ie, with pin holes. Then we may have something to go by.
Thanks,

Why LEGO decided to do it that way I can't imagine - all previous sets (AFAIK) used the offset axle holes (present in the old 24t gears) to connect pistons, not the pin holes. IMO that part is a (...) (21 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

| You inspired me to tinker a bit, but I am still unsuccessful. Putting gears around the z24 to help stabilize it is problematic because, at standard LEGO distances, there is sufficient space between the gears to allow the z24 (and the prop axle) to (...) (21 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)
