The build as is would work if those conditions were met I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The build as is would work if those conditions were met I think? Absolutely - you could double-wall it on both sides and there would be no trouble whatsoever. I was merely saying that in this particular build, that upside-down 1x8 is completely loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordoflego Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Perfect thread for my question, sorry if it's a stupid one but I only had a technic as a kid, over 25 years ago. What does Lego gearbox do? Like in the new Porsche let's say? So in 1st gear you cant push the car as fast as you could in 4th? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot watch the video (gives me a playback error all the time) but the gearbox on the 42048 race kart (2 gears and a neutral) merely makes the piston on the engine block move slower or faster. Now of course if you had a motor driving the gears, the speed & torque of the car would change depending on the gear selected, but those are not provided with the 42048 (neither with the Porsche 42056 btw). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I expected that with the motor, but wasn't sure without. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelgazra Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 It looks like a 2x2x2 slope, mounted internally on an angle... I don't think the inside studs of the two 1x2 cheese slopes are attached to the piece in question, I think they're floating, covering up the lip of the angled slope. Still trying to work out how it looks inside... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brickcrazyhouse Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 @Zelgazra thanks I think I got it. I used a "Slope, Curved 3 x 2 No Studs" http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=24309#T=C . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelgazra Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Nice one.. not sure that's what the original uses as the line seems pretty straight, but a very nice alternative. In fact, a few more subs for those curved slopes could make for a more organic feel to him. Should mess around with that as you go along!

Loghamel Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Can some of you experts explain (or point me to a place that does) how to create a 4-sided roof that comes together at the top? Say the house is 20x20 studs. Each of the roofs would be a triangle 20 studs wide that meet at the top. I can't seem to figure out how to pull this off. And to clarify, I'm not wanting to use sloped bricks as shingles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to clarify, I'm not wanting to use sloped bricks as shingles. Could you use a series of Wedge Plates and Plates to make it happen? You could use Hinge Bricks and Plates to create the slope angle that you need. You could also do something similar to 7965 for opening/closing and sloping the roof. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
