    Thanks for this.
    LEGO technology has come a wonderfully long way since I was a kid (the remote controlled motor, used here, is pretty sweet), but It's still just as fun to play with & surprisingly fascinating to watch stuff being built.
    I always wanted to try building a robotic/prosthetic human hand with as much dexterity as a real one (so many joints), so if you're looking for interesting ideas, I reckon that designing & building a Robo-Hand & wrist would be a serious challenge.

    This is really cool. I've been following your progress on Rollercoaster-based light rail systems since you made that three-car train with the medium motor in the center, but you've clearly outdone yourself with this design. I like how compact it is, and how functional and realistic it looks. I'm probably gonna get the Ninjago City Gardens this year, and I'd like to find a way to have this design running through the full city. Just one question, is it possible to put a few tiles on the ends of each car to suggest an articulated segment, or is there too little clearance? Either way, I love it.

    • @JKBrickworks
      @JKBrickworks  Před 3 lety +2

      I'd love to see that! Yes, you could definitely add some plates/tiles to the ends, as long as they don't go all the way out to the edge of the car. The cars are 6 wide, and I think you could add two plates to the center 4 studs without any clearance problems.

    Amazing! You finally cracked the code for suspension trains.

    I’ve been working on a similar design but my bogies have always had two wheels which as severely limited the capability to follow the roller coaster track. I never even tried if a single wheel would be able to stay aligned. Also with the full size motor, battery box, and receiver the train becomes awfully heavy heavy requiring massive overhead rail support.

      I can appreciate that. I built one years ago using LEGO PF components that ran on the old 4.5V single rails, and yeah, it was a beast. When I found these little motors, I knew they would be great for models like this.
