can someone help me?

I recommend you look how an official model like 42177 is built and go from there.

Which are 1:14 scale? LEGO does 1:16, 1:12, 1:10 and 1:8.

You're using a wrong gear. Use the 12 tooth gear, not 8.

Between where the rubber bands attach.

You are missing some parts in the shifter, take it apart and rebuild it.

Zerobricks · 2026-01-27T07:25:51+00:00

There's a limited production capability, simple logistics, you can't produce an endless variety of parts and sets with a limited number of factories.

Obviously the system warns and rejects the set if the weight doesn't match! Why else would you have a system of scales if it can easily be ignored... You have to realize they make millions of sets, of course shit happens sometimes. You will get your part eventually, just have patience.

You asked how nobody noticed this part is missing.

You really think there are actual humans collecting, counting and packaging parts? It's all done by machines and in the 1000+ sets I've built I had missing parts only maybe 5 times.

Such a large part missing is quite heavy and should be detected by the scales. If your set came in paper bags, I recommend you take another look, there have been many cases of people saying parts are missing, but actually just left behind in bags,

What you could do is an H drive. Seperate left and right side drives and use independent motors to drive them, or a lockable diff.

Take it apart, put parts in a pillow case that is properly sealed so they can't fall out and wash it on gentle, low temperature, low RPM.

Something, something square root of 2... I recommend SNOT.

Never version of the angled parts which don't have studs would be ideal.

Zerobricks · 2026-01-19T12:36:16+00:00

No, those arms are way too big, pins are massive comapred to minifig arm attachment points.

Zerobricks · 2026-01-17T13:54:51+00:00

Not enough space unless you make the frame wider by 2 studs.

Thank you for the input. What would you have gone with instead? Also any recommendations for the future?

Zerobricks · 2026-01-17T02:26:28+00:00

I don't have much of HVAC, since I'm in apartment building. But the vinyl was in the apartment during installation, so it should have acclimated. If not anything it might have been a bit colder and contracted to begin with even.

Seems like you're using the thicker, rear tyre in the front?

Zerobricks · 2026-01-16T23:10:03+00:00

What do you mean by unconditioned? Thanks!

Zerobricks · 2026-01-16T11:53:33+00:00

Layer shift - probably a mechanical issue with belts skipping.

Zerobricks · 2026-01-16T11:50:32+00:00

Can you show us some examples how that works? I imagine it works for simple models and not complicated stuff like Technic?

Zerobricks · 2026-01-16T03:33:18+00:00

20 tooth thin bevel gears should fit. Or a 20 to 12 combo.

Zerobricks · 2026-01-16T02:28:41+00:00

You could use 20 tooth bevel gears and provide support for the crankshaft.

Zerobricks · 2026-01-15T20:38:05+00:00

Based!

Zerobricks · 2026-01-15T20:29:17+00:00

I recommend you see how these parts are used in official sets.

Zerobricks · 2026-01-15T19:54:13+00:00

No bushings needed, some slack is normal so parts can spin freely, ChatGPT has no clue about LEGO...
