Thot didnt go out the mall will able to control Lego poison

But then itchy hand went to sales thread in LYN and found a 2 weeks old Quinjet at rm200. Poisoned 

Perfect birthday gift for my boy. Samore Astro just premier Avengers yesterday.

But not easy to dismantle some almost 700pieces secretly 

hmm..u guys notice the trend of this thread?
modular -> creator house ->train set ....

let's do a simple prediction on what is the next got to have lego set?

my bet goes to Friends

Thanks bro for the info.
Went there this morning to take advantage on the discount. Was planning to buy the excavator for my kid...I arrive around 10.20am. But...the Q to redeem that voucher (the 1st 500) was freakingggggggggggg long !
So, i gave up. Not worth the hassle...

Today is a chillax day with the kids. Planning to do the camper van but i did this instead...



Moving sets kinda grew into me lately..

When Space Travelling is possible.. everything is deadly....   

I think most AFOLs cannot "tahan" when encountered the 1st one...

all got nice and expensive hauls over the weekend.

I only manage this     

I die die also won't buy Friends set 

no ppl build KTM train? can put Friends MFs into the ladies coach, 

everyone's into train poison..but..  
lucky for me coz SW not train poison..  
(self-comfort-ing)  

Ok, updated my blog. No MOC / modifications lately. Still waiting for parts. 
Other stuff not reach KL yet 
Lego 9398 - Motorized Rescue Helicopter

Nothing new in this, as per building instruction. The length and width is bigger than Unimog & Crawler, mainly due to the main-rotor. Height wise, lower. I did not put on any stickers ... yet.



I don't know about others, but my winch is very tight. Due to the grey-pin bush with friction below. The motor can't turn this, so I replaced with a 5.5 axle with stop. BTW, I use my own longer string. However, when I disengage the gear for winch, it is free fall when something is on the hook.

I may need to sacrifice some spare bush-pin and sand-down some of the friction on the pin. Or research more for other solutions.



I do not have the power-function motor set (8293), so I take the parts from other vehicles to try here:
- M-motor
- Battery box
- IR receiver
- Remote control
- 8-tooth gear
- 24 tooth gear with clutch (white)

All works fine, after the above fix for the winch. Here is the video with the winch, rear-cargo door, landing-wheels and rotor.



Something I note (before I do further research on internet), when the rotor rotates, it has momentum and when I stop the motor, the rotor will continue for a while. This can mean disaster for the gears, as the rotor forces the gear to rotate the motor. Hence, a smart design here for the safety mechanism, there is a gear on L-beam which can roll up to prevent gears grinding.

Also, this means the motor can only rotate the rotors in one single-direction. If switch the other direction, the gears will rotate freely. Which is what a helicopter rotor should be, rotate in one direction for lift. Below is the video of how it works.



All in all, the helicopter is quite complete. There is a stick to adjust the rotor pitch.
One thing missing though, is the tilt (front and back) for the chopper to move forward/backward, in real life.

IMHO the cheapest way to add Power Functions to a train is to buy 7938 Passenger Train and transfer the power functions parts over. The 7938 by itself is too "short" IMHO so I combined two sets together, then use the Power Functions parts for my yet to be built Maersk Train. Hope this helps to inject more poison for 7938!
Yeah, I don't remember exactly how many speed but it can really go from a very slow crawl to progressively higher speeds! It's quite fast at the highest speed setting. Tracks those bends quite well too on the standard curve tracks, with the flexible tracks you will have to brace them otherwise you are going to get a train crash!

Power consumption wise it is pretty good. I use Sanyo Eneloop rechargables on my set and they last very long. I don't use regular single use batteries anymore for the sake of our environment so I wouldn't know how those performs...
7936 stopped production in end 2011 or early 2012, I also wanted to buy more but can't get anymore at a reasonable price. It used to be the cheapest way to get straight tracks. Lucky I bought some before the prices soared...

I think 7937 will go EOL this year so better grab soon. 

Now now, this is richby way of hauling, I used to do that, not anymore. Lol

for friends fans..
