I Gave My Heart To The Junkman

Yesterday I sold my best friend to a stranger for $315.

This was, of course, far less than what a 2005 Kia Sedona ought to fetch, even for scrap alone. There were certainly a lot of useful parts still tucked inside ... but beyond any question of material worth, the sentimental value was incalculable. After all, I had poured so many financial and emotional resources into this long-term relationship, and steadfastly made repairs whenever the need arose, and had shown more unflagging devotion to this soccer-mom minivan than I had for some of my boyfriends, jobs, teeth, and homes. She was my first car, and like any first love, a first car carries a special significance.

I bought my Pamela in March of 2017, springing her from a dusty little shitpot in Bonner Springs, Kansas. I paid $2300 in cash for her, and easily poured ten times that amount into repairs. In just under six years, I replaced her starter, radiator, alternator, thermostat (twice), drive shafts, brakes, catalytic converters, power steering pump, rear shocks, rack and pinion, tie rods, hub and bearing, window motor, door actuator, timing belt, alternator belt, EGR valve, purge solenoid, charcoal canister, air conditioning compressor, cooling fan, valve cover gasket, tensioner and idler pulleys, exhaust Y-valve, oxygen sensors, hood struts, coils, hoses, filters, batteries, rear window, and three camshaft position sensors. We broke down in Iowa, Colorado, Washington, and Florida. We blew tires in Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Minnesota, and Georgia. I got to know the various components of my vehicle, one by one, as they fell apart.

Last week, she failed to start. In and of itself, this wasn't anything new, as she had crapped out so often in the past. But this time felt different, somehow. There was something so final about this silence. I knew, in that moment, that Pamela just didn't want to go any further. She had gone far enough.

With a heavy heart, I made arrangements with the junkman to come cart her away. I took the next few days to clean her out, retrieving all the tools, camping gear, and souvenirs I had stashed in her crates and cargo areas. The last thing I removed was the bobbing statue of Hula Girl, which I had glued to the dashboard back in Missouri. Her nose had gotten chipped in Iowa, when a sudden crosswind thwacked my camera's lens cap across her face ... but her irrepressible smile and cheerful ALOHA had accompanied me for over 99,700 miles, and I couldn't bear to leave her behind. I did, however, tear off the last few shreds of her disintegrating grass skirt, which no longer afforded her any dignity.

I sat for a long while in the driver's seat, holding the wheel that had been in my hands for thousands of hours. Its foam grip had been shredded by the stress of too many white-knuckled rides, all those times when I prayed for us to make it through blinding downpours or snowstorms or terrifying deep country two-lanes or narrow construction zones.

Sitting there, like a kid playing vroom vroom in the family car, I recounted some of our many adventures aloud. "Remember driving down the Vegas Strip? That supercell catching up with us in Valentine? That sunset in the wind farm? Heading out to the Olympic Coast? Devil's Tower? Ed Gein's place? Tinkertown? Bonneville? Waco? That refinery by Dodge City? Sunrise at Monument Valley? That one flat we got in Viroqua, and the farmer helping us change it? Dawn at Cades Cove? Those little hilltop dairy farms in The Driftless? The Badlands? The rim of Bryce Canyon? The meadow in South Park? The pueblos at Bandelier? Finding the trail at Butler Wash? The caves of Maquoketa? Picking up that hitchhiker in Dinosaur? Taking the Mountain Loop Highway up to Big Four? Morning mist on Steamboat Slough? The salmon run at Granite Falls? Taking the Alaskan Way Viaduct? Running along the Skykomish? The vultures on 312? Shiloh? Hooking up with the guys at Magnetic Springs? Going up Mt. Baker?" This went on for ages. Each memory brought to mind another, and another, experiences strung in sequence like beads on a string, a rosary of perils and deeds. After about ten minutes, my soliloquy devolved into a précis ... all I had to do was murmur "Kitty Hawk" and we returned immediately to one of the worst nights in our history, when we had to drive 700 miles through a tornado outbreak with a busted alternator and half a dozen batteries, sometimes driving blind in the rain without headlights or windshield wipers. We had so many close calls in our time together, and our survival sometimes seemed miraculous.

Finally, words failed me, and I wept. I sat there, finding myself once again broke and broken, a few weeks shy of turning forty-nine, devastated at another huge loss, crying my eyes out because my car wouldn't start.

Pamela had listened to me laugh, scream, sing. She heard my deepest secrets, my most buried fears, all the things I will never share with another living soul. She held space, literally and figuratively, as I processed early traumas, the kinds of injuries that had to be coaxed out of my soul like splinters. She kept me company as I mourned lost friendships, raged at failed opportunities, exulted over spiritual and professional victories, learned the lyrics to dozens of showtunes, and sifted through the smoldering wreckage of too many love affairs. She saw me at my very best and my very worst.

We traveled from coast to coast, crossed the Mississippi dozens of times, explored every kind of terrain in the continental US. We'd chased after tornadoes in Nebraska, dodged hailstones the size of tangerines in Oklahoma, coasted into Death Valley with squealing brakes, gunned through the Cascades on bald tires. We'd raced across salt flats and skidded out on gravel roads and slid on ice and got stuck in the mud. We climbed narrow mountain roads, corkscrewing upwards like a buggy in a Disney darkride, and were rewarded near the summits by whispering aspen groves and skies the color of lead. We followed thunderheads across hundreds of miles of cornfields, doubled back to photograph collapsing barns, got lost and found and lost again. We nearly ran out of gas on a stretch of moonlit desert, and were almost forced off the road by a madman near Mexican Hat. We saw insect swarms, murmurations of starlings, clouds rising from firs, incandescent sunsets, fogbound highways at 4:am, hazy feedlots, mine shafts, floodwaters, dust devils, wildfires. She had given me a treasury of beauty.

Pamela drove me to jobs in corporate office demolition, sanitation, construction site cleanup, disaster services, aerospace manufacturing, warehouse fulfillment, toy merchandising, and food delivery. She waited in parking lots while I went skydiving and whitewater rafting and hiking, while I ate, slept, got laid, gathered sharks' teeth, watched lions mate, and raised a circus tent. She carried me to zoos, sex clubs, cemeteries, battlefields, dormant volcanoes, dams, lighthouses, shipwrecks, museums, rodeos, waterfalls, weird roadside attractions, a nude beach, a monastery, a cassowary ranch, and the homes of countless friends. We saw Monterrey, Santa Fe, Orlando, Tukwila, Minneapolis, Fort Sumner, Little Rock, Mukilteo, Pensacola, Oso, Tulsa, Jupiter, Oakland, Bellingham, Eureka Springs, St. Louis, Mosca, Wichita, Portland, Pahrump, Ocracoke, Waco, Memphis, Sarasota, Montgomery, Estes Park, Vernal, Coeur d'Alene, Peoria, Birmingham, Lumberton, Des Moines, Topeka, Darwin, Beaverton, Bemidji, Enid, Deadwood, Hot Springs, Cullman, Austin, Ocean Springs, Chattanooga, Carlinville, Abilene, Darrington, Nashville, Moab, Pagosa Springs, McEwen, and innumerable parks, farms, rivers, and valleys. She took me to Judy Garland's birthplace in Grand Rapids and my own origin point in Ellensburg. We killed a hare near Ogallala and drove below arches made of lightning. We endured for far too long the joyless mazes of suburbia. She brought me into and back out of my homeland. She was my home at times.

Yesterday, a tow truck showed up on Reef Drive, our residence for the last four years. Pamela was marooned just behind her usual spot, along a hedge at the front of the property, in the shade of a nearby palm. A flock of scarlet ibises used to roost on her roof, and a clowder of feral kittens sometimes took shelter beneath her when it rained. There was a big rectangle where the grass had long ago given up and stopped growing. All of this was about to change.

The junkman was a friendly, toothless old chap named Thomas, and he had been doing this job for decades. His skin had been leathered by the sun, his hair bleached into straw, and save for the ball cap and tee shirt he looked exactly like a Gold Rush prospector. On his flatbed slumped a '71 Ford Bronco which had clearly seen better days. In any other circumstances, I'd be delighted to photograph such a wreck ... its windows were blown out, most of its panels were rusted, and it had an appealing patina of green mold, the sort of picturesque decay that I've spent decades documenting. But now it all seemed just too sad for words ... two old vehicles, far past their prime, being taken out to pasture. I thought of how horses used to get shot if they couldn't be ridden anymore.

Thomas indicated that my car seemed to be in pretty salvageable shape, though, and that she was likely to undergo a refurb rather than being scrapped altogether. This gave me a ray of hope that perhaps Pamela might yet play a special role in somebody else's life, and that just because our road had come to an end did not mean she herself was destined for oblivion.

I told him a little about the vehicle he was buying, how famous she was, how there were loyal followers around the world who had been cheering her on for the past several years. "This isn't just a car," I said. "Pamela's been through a lot. She's special." I told him about the memoir I published last year, about how we had traveled together over the whole country and seen the most incredible sights. He nodded and smiled and feigned interest, as he pointed out the numerous papers for me to sign off on. Then he handed me a check, which seemed pitifully small in my hands, and he set about hooking my poor old hooptie onto the tow rig.

I'd witnessed this ritual so many times ... the slow humiliating whine as my baby got hoisted into position, the rattle of chains around her undercarriage, the sinking helpless feeling as the tow truck lurched forward. I had already seen her get pulled away when her radiator blew up in Boulder, when her starter crapped out in Bothell, when her fuel lines got clogged in St. Augustine. But this time was different. This time there would be no joyful reunion at the shop. I stood across the street, and the reality of the situation hit me full force. Pamela, the car who had transformed my entire life, who had freed me from a desperately unhappy stint in Kansas City, who had framed most of America in her windshield, was leaving me forever. In a few minutes, she would disappear, and that would be that.

It's different in the movies, when a love story wraps up. Your heroes ride off into the sunset together, and the music swells, and THE END appears in big fancy letters over the clouds. And as the credits roll and you stand and brush popcorn from your lap you enjoy a tidy sense of closure. There is a clear sense of something having been finished, of a narrative having reached its rightful conclusion. My last few minutes with this minivan, on the other hand, felt weirdly anticlimactic and unsatisfying. I caught a few seconds of video on my phone as the tow truck began its journey. Then I just stood in the middle of the road with my arms hanging limply at my sides and watched as the most meaningful possession of my life rolled away, growing smaller and smaller until she reached the end of the block. And then the tow truck rounded the corner, and left my view altogether, and my Pamela was finally gone.

"Goodbye, old girl," I said, wiping my eyes. "Goodbye." Then I went back to my studio, returned to my easel, picked up a brush, and began the search for a new frontier.

Misalignment: Improper alignment of gears can cause uneven wear, noise, and reduced lifespan. Lubrication Issues: Inadequate lubrication can result in increased friction and heat, leading to premature wear and potential failure. Bearing Failures: Worn or damaged bearings can affect the smooth rotation of gears, causing noise and vibration. To prevent these issues, regular maintenance is crucial. Key maintenance practices include:

Regular Inspections: Periodic inspections help identify signs of wear, misalignment, or damage, allowing for timely repairs. Proper Lubrication: Ensuring adequate and consistent lubrication minimizes friction and wear, enhancing the longevity of the assembly. Alignment Checks: Regular alignment checks ensure that gears mesh correctly, reducing the risk of uneven wear and noise. Bearing Maintenance: Monitoring and maintaining bearings is essential for smooth gear operation and reducing the risk of failure.

Advancements in Ring Gear Technology Technological advancements have significantly improved the performance and reliability of ring gear assemblies. Innovations in materials, manufacturing techniques, and design have led to more efficient and durable assemblies. Some notable advancements include:

Advanced Materials: The development of high-strength alloys and composite materials has enhanced the durability and performance of ring gear assemblies, allowing them to withstand higher loads and harsher conditions. Precision Manufacturing: Advances in machining and manufacturing technologies, such as computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), have enabled the production of highly precise and efficient gear assemblies. Improved Lubrication Systems: Modern lubrication systems are more effective at reducing friction and wear, extending the lifespan of ring gear assemblies and enhancing their performance. Smart Monitoring: The integration of sensors and monitoring systems allows for real-time tracking of gear performance, enabling predictive maintenance and reducing the risk of unexpected failures.

Top Features of Master Gear Manufacturing and Suppliers

In, master gears numerous industries are dependent on manufacturing. Gears are an essential piece of any machine. The force move that pinion wheels empower is unrivaled, making them indispensable parts in any machine. While the interest for the most recent hardware is on the ascent across numerous ventures, so is the requirement for master gears manufacturing. Various enterprises depend on gear makers to supply them with modified stuff and backbone that is applicable for their modern applications.

Precision and Accuracy

Master gears are made to exact tolerances, often as small as a few microns, so they can accurately replicate the gear geometry they are supposed to measure. This high accuracy is basic for keeping up with the trustworthiness of the staff assessment process.

The manufacturing profile of expert master gear is made with careful meticulousness, matching the plan particulars precisely. When used for testing, the master gear provides as an accurate standard against which to compare production gears.

Material Quality

Master gears are typically constructed from high-quality tool steel or similar materials that are renowned for their durability and wear resistance. This is fundamental as the cog wheels go through rehashed use in testing conditions.

What Is a Planetary Gearbox and How Does It Work?

A planetary gearbox, also known as an epicyclic gearing system, is a complex gear mechanism made up of outer gears called planet gears or pinions that surround a sun gear or sun wheel in the center. This complicated setup is routinely used to achieve great torque in an extremely small design. The planetary gearbox, which consists of the sun gear, planet gears, and ring gears, displays the sun gear at its center, surrounded by numerous planet gears evenly spaced around it, and enclosed by the ring gear.

How Does It Work?

A planetary gearbox operates through the interaction of several key components: the sun gear, planet gears or pinions, and the ring gear.

Sun Gear (Sun Wheel): The central gear in the gearbox is called the sun gear or sun wheel. It is typically connected to the input or power source that drives the gearbox.

Planet Gears (Pinions): Multiple planet gears or pinions surround the sun gear. These gears are typically mounted on a rotating carrier or arm.

Ring Gear (Annulus): The ring gear, also known as the annulus, surrounds and meshes with the planet gears. It has teeth on the inside and is fixed or stationary.

Gear Interaction: The planet gears mesh simultaneously with both the sun gear and the ring gear. The planet gears spin as a result of the rotation of the solar gear.

Rotation Direction: The planet gears rotate around their own axes while also orbiting or revolving around the sun gear. This combination of rotational and orbital motion generates torque transmission.

Output: The output of the planetary gearbox is typically taken from the planet carrier or the sun gear, depending on the configuration and application.

The gear ratios and torque distribution within a planetary gearbox can be controlled by the arrangement of gears and gear stages. By altering the number of teeth on each gear, different gear ratios can be achieved to suit specific requirements.

Overall, the planetary gearbox efficiently converts input power into output torque with high torque density, making it a popular choice for various applications requiring compact and robust transmission systems.

What Is Planetary Gears' Primary Function?

Epicyclic gears are typically utilized as speed reducers. This indicates that the motors (servo, brushless, or brushed) are slowed down in order to improve torque.

Planetary gear motors are better able to generate higher speed and torque when it comes to speed and output. The numerous contact points positioned in between the gears are mostly to blame for this. In fact, for the majority of typical designs, the planetary gear system may cut speeds by up to 10:1 and accept greater input speeds.

The planetary gearbox offers several advantages, including:

The operation of a planetary gearbox involves the interaction of these three components. The sun gear is driven by an input shaft, which causes it to rotate. As the sun gear rotates, it meshes with the planet gears, causing them to also rotate. The planet gears are connected to a carrier, which is held stationary by an output shaft.

The rotation of the planet gears around the sun gear and the stationary carrier creates a gear reduction effect. This means that the output shaft rotates at a slower speed than the input shaft, but with increased torque. The gear ratio of a planetary gearbox can be adjusted by changing the number of teeth on the gears or by changing the arrangement of the gears.

The design of a planetary gearbox offers several advantages. It provides a compact and lightweight solution for transmitting power, making it suitable for various applications, such as automotive transmissions and industrial machinery. Additionally, the multiple points of contact between the gears distribute the load evenly, resulting in smooth and efficient operation.

Planetary gearboxes are commonly used in different industries, including automotive, robotics, and industrial machinery. They can be used in conjunction with various power sources such as internal combustion engines, electric motors, or hydraulic motors

Choosing a Planetary Gearbox: Some Advice

Since not all gearboxes are created equal, you must be careful to select the ideal one for the project at hand. The considerations stated below should be kept in mind while choosing a planetary gearbox for your application.

The sort of application you're building will determine the required backlash, torque density, and ratio features.

Environment: To avoid dirt, dust, and moisture from entering the gearbox and harming the inner components, choose a planetary gearbox with the proper sort of housing.

Space: The good news is that you can always choose a smaller planetary gearbox to fit your application. Always assess the space available in your application. To guarantee that your application functions as necessary, consult a specialist to obtain the appropriate-sized planetary gearbox.

Advantages & Disadvantages of Planetary Gearbox

Compound planetary gears have their own set of advantages and disadvantages to take into account, just like all other types of gearboxes. As you narrow down your selections, take into account the benefits and drawbacks of epicyclic gearing.

Advantages

No backlash: Gearing has nearly no backlash and is quite accurate.

Modular: The majority of planetary phases can be stacked since they are modular.

Shaft: Coaxial configuration means that there is no offset in the output shaft.

Gear: increased gear life at equivalent loads.

High power density: The burden is distributed among many planets.

Size: Planetary gears are lightweight and small, making them simple to employ in a variety of settings.

Torque: Transmissions with high torque levels are feasible.

High efficiency: Due to their low rolling power, planetary gear systems are approximately 95% more efficient.

Disadvantages

Noisy operation: Planetary gearheads frequently produce more noise when operating. However, other models, like those in the Kavitsu Transmission product line, promise to be quieter.

Load sharing: Since the gears must always be beveled with helical teeth, load sharing won't work if the gearing is inaccurate.

Lubrication: Grease lubrication is typically required for planetary gears in order to prevent wear. An oil bath option might be preferred by many consumers.

Cost: The price may be increased in order to guarantee low backlash and lifespan. This is typically due to the fact that they are made up of more parts than other kinds of gearboxes.

Loads: High-bearing loads can cause the dead stud to deteriorate quickly.

The Power of Rotation: A Comprehensive Look at Rotary Actuators

Transform Pneumatic, Hydraulic, or Electric Energy to Mechanical Rotation

In the realm of industrial automation, precise control over movement is paramount. Rotary actuators play a vital role in achieving this control, converting various forms of energy into rotary motion to power a wide range of applications. From the delicate movements of robotic arms to the powerful operation of valves and gates, rotary actuators offer a versatile and efficient solution for driving rotational tasks. This article delves into the world of rotary actuators, exploring their types, working principles, functionalities, and their diverse applications across various industries.

Understanding Rotary Actuators:

At their core, rotary actuators are mechanical devices that translate energy into rotary motion, or torque, around a specific axis. This energy source can be electric, pneumatic, hydraulic, or even manual. By converting this energy, rotary actuators enable precise control of angular displacement and rotational force, making them ideal for applications requiring positioning, opening, closing, or rotating various mechanisms.

Types of Rotary Actuators:

The diverse world of rotary actuators encompasses various types, each catering to specific needs and applications:

Electric Rotary Actuators: Powered by electric motors, these actuators offer precise control and are well-suited for automated applications. They come in various configurations, including stepper motors, servo motors, and DC gear motors, each offering distinct torque and speed characteristics.

Pneumatic Rotary Actuators: Utilizing compressed air as the energy source, these actuators are known for their speed and force output. They are commonly used in applications requiring high-speed actuation or limited space availability. Rack and pinion and vane types are two common configurations of pneumatic rotary actuators.

Hydraulic Rotary Actuators: These actuators rely on hydraulic fluid for power, offering exceptional force and torque capabilities. They are ideal for heavy-duty applications requiring high power output, such as operating large valves or manipulating massive machinery components.

Working Principles of Rotary Actuators:

The specific working principle of a rotary actuator depends on its type. Here's a simplified breakdown of the primary types:

Electric Rotary Actuators: An electric motor converts electrical energy into rotational motion of the motor shaft. This rotation can be geared down or up to achieve the desired output speed and torque. In stepper motors, the rotation occurs in discrete steps, offering precise positioning control. Servo motors provide continuous rotation with precise control over speed and position based on feedback signals.

Pneumatic Rotary Actuators: Compressed air enters the actuator body, pushing against a piston or vane, causing it to rotate. The direction of rotation is controlled by valves that direct the compressed air flow. Rack and pinion actuators convert the linear motion of the piston or vane into rotary motion using a gear rack and pinion gear. Vane actuators utilize the direct rotation of the vane within the actuator body.

Hydraulic Rotary Actuators: Hydraulic fluid, pressurized by a pump, enters the actuator body and exerts force on a piston or vane. The resulting linear motion is converted into rotary motion through a gear mechanism similar to pneumatic rotary actuators.

Functionalities of Rotary Actuators:

Rotary actuators perform a wide range of functions in various applications. Some key functionalities include:

Positioning: Rotary actuators can precisely position mechanical components or robotic arms to specific angles.

Opening and Closing: They can be used to open and close valves, gates, dampers, and other mechanisms requiring rotational movement.

Mixing and Stirring: Rotary actuators can power mixing blades or stirrers in various industrial processes.

Indexing and Material Handling: They can be used for precise indexing of materials in automated production lines or material handling equipment.

Clamping and Gripping: Rotary actuators can be used to clamp or grip objects in robotic applications or assembly lines.

Selection Considerations for Rotary Actuators:

Choosing the right rotary actuator for your application requires careful consideration of several factors:

Torque and Speed Requirements: The actuator's torque output and speed capabilities need to match the application's specific demands.

Power Source: Electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic power sources should be chosen based on available resources and desired control characteristics.

Duty Cycle: The frequency and duration of operation for the actuator must be considered to ensure proper sizing and prevent overheating.

Accuracy and Repeatability: The level of precision required for positioning or control should be factored in when selecting the actuator type.

Environmental Conditions: The operating environment, including temperature, humidity, and potential exposure to dust or liquids, should be considered to ensure proper material selection and protection for the actuator.

Applications of Rotary Actuators (Continued):

Lego Technic 42160: Audi RS Q e-tron...

is it a pile of poop?

The answer in short terms, is sort of, but not really.

To give a better and more understandable answer, you need to know how I came to play with this model for a weekend and what went wrong. Firstly, this kit has been supplied to me by a friend. I am not able to afford such kits, but every now and again, someone close to me buys a set and I get to play with it. I am not going to tell you who this person is, just that I value their friendship because of who they are, not because of the Lego they buy, even if I get to play with it.

When they handed over the set and said “have fun, see what you think...” Everything was still sealed in the box and all seemed fine. The box was quite pretty, but in a serious, 'make everything black' kind of way. This is the first time I have been able to play with anything from the new Powered Up and Control Plus systems, having been playing with Power Functions for several years.

Out of the box, there is an awful lot of black pieces in this set, with some light stone grey and a little bit of dark stone grey. The only pieces of any brighter colour are a few pins and a couple of cross blocks, none of which you can see after construction. Once the model is fully built, it is a large, complicated, black box. Thankfully the wheel rims are a nice shade of red, giving it something pretty to look at. If you want a moody teenager's perfect model, forget the old spooky girl minifig, this set is very much of the dark side. In fact, I don't think that even the old Sith Infiltrator set from the Star Wars theme was this dark. To add a splash of colour to the model, there is roughly seventy kilotonnes (OK, two large sheets) of stickers. None of which I had the patience to apply. This many stickers is bordering on offensive, it is clear that they only want the parts to be used for this model and this model only, but more on that later.

With all of the numbered bags out of the box, I found four loose tyres, the control plus hub and the envelope that holds the instructions and stickers. Thank the maker that they put the instruction book in an envelope, because the oddly oily tyres are oozing out a slick and slimy substance that stained the envelope. This stuff is persistent and remains even after I had to wash the tyres with detergent. I scrubbed those tyres with a nail brush and some Fairy dish soap and then put the tyres aside to dry. Twenty four hours later and they continue to ooze out this oily substance, that reminds me of the GT85 Teflon spray I used to use as a cycle mechanic. My guess is that this is some kind of moulding release spray, but it is odd that it continues to leach out, leaving oily stains on fingers and anything absorbent.

Building the model is a dreary affair. There are no complicated and fun gear boxes or even the barest hint of an actual cockpit. There are lots of clever angles and some well thought out use of curved panels, but the emphasis here is purely on the playability with the remote control (not supplied!), rather than making this a fun build. The new wheel hubs seem a lot stronger than previous versions, but come already assembled, so I have no idea what they look like inside. The drive shafts have been redesigned and are significantly bigger now, meaning that they are stronger too. However, the front axle does have a significant amount of bump steer, which is controlled by a secondary rack and pinion. Without this secondary system, the wheels develop a significant amount of toe out as the suspension compresses. As always, Lego suspension is a crude undamped spring. Any force applied to the spring, is released immediately, meaning that the car does not have actual shock absorption, but this is a petty criticism... unless you know that Lego have in the past made damped springs.

The Control Plus hub and the associated motors are powered by six double A cells and not the 12 that is listed in the instruction book. Surely someone must have proof read the instructions? I am using alkaline batteries, having tried rechargeable batteries in the past. Alkaline cells will give out 1.5 volts, which leads to a pack that runs on nine volts. I used a set of rechargeable cells and discovered that each cell only gave out 1.1 volts, which came to 6.6 volts, meaning that anything I built was down by almost two and a half volts. Fitting the batteries to the hub required the use of a screw driver to remove a cover, that exposes a battery box that slots into the hub in an exact location. It then needs to be screwed back in place. Knowing that previous versions of this unit had a clip in battery box, one can only assume that it developed faults and needs the screws to hold it in place. Again, the power functions battery boxes, with their side covers are easier to use. However, having to have the controller with line of sight to the receivers did make for some complicated builds. The Bluetooth system allows for the hub to buried inside the model and does not get interference from strong sunlight.

Controlling the car requires a smart device, a mobile phone or tablet with Bluetooth will work. I have a Samsung phone that is an older model and rather cheap, but I was able to download the application and it installed rather quickly. There is the potential for fun here, with it giving you information about the car and recording data about its use. It has tip over sensors and can work out the camber of roads. However, from the moment it was switched on, it told me that it is always going up hill, with the back of the car being two degrees lower than the front of the car. I put this down to the bump steer problem over extending the front suspension, making it stiffer than the rear. Using a mobile phone is fine, but it can be limiting. Not every child has access to a mobile smart device modern enough to run software this complex. My version also developed a couple of glitches, always with the steering, that would stop registering my finger movement and making the car crash into whatever I was trying to steer around. I am aware that Lego make a Bluetooth controller to run the trains and I wondered if this is compatible. A quick chat with Lego will tell you that this is not possible. However, an ever quicker on-line search will show you that this is possible, but going more in depth you will discover that you need to be able to hack the hub and rewrite the firmware. Thankfully, some helpful souls out on the wild internet have made this a lot easier and I have been having a lot of fun driving the car with this controller.

If you want a really good controller hack, have a look at this brilliant tutorial. This is entirely the video producer's work and I am in awe of what he has done.

youtube

It was at this point that I was forced to ask why Lego do not allow this functionality as standard? When I spoke to Customer Services at Lego I was told that there was no provision made for the controller or MOC building, using the Control Plus system. To my mind this is a poor decision and a bad faith move on behalf of Lego. Once again, we are being controlled by the tech we choose to play with, rather than playing with the tech and customising its abilities to suit our needs. Supplying a simple controller with the set makes sense to me, with perhaps optional increased playability through a smart device. I will be honest, I fully intended to hack the hub as soon as I got my hands on it. However, the car is going to remain on a shelf for a little while because the tyres are still oozing a greasy substance onto their surface.

The tyres are another new design and size. Trying to fit other tyres to the car is all but impossible due to the design of the steering system and rear suspension limiting tyre width. Trying to fit larger tyres is impossible because of the body work of the car scrubs on the tread. The only wheels I managed to make fit are the medium road wheels as fitted to vehicles such as the wonderful Mercedes AROCs truck. However, they do stick out rather a lot. I am thinking of possibly using some pulley wheels to space out the hub and allow other wheel types to be fitted, but I am yet to try this.

Overall, I have found this whole model to be rather disappointing and that is because of some unnecessary design decisions made by Lego. Making the hub locked to this model (or the others that use the same hub), with the exact motor configuration, with no access to constructing a model of your own, is ludicrous. Shame on you Lego.

The fault with the tyres is an ongoing issue that I have been discussing with Lego customer services and after nearly a week, I am growing increasingly dissatisfied with their answers. Being told to just wash them off was fair enough, but how many times do I have to wash them before they finally stop oozing oil? When they do stop oozing, are they just going to perish and rot away? I have a pair of small rubber balloon tyres that came on a model from 1999 and these have become rotten and feel like jelly sweets that have been left in a hot car for a year. I can see these tyres developing the same issue in time and I would worry that if stored with any of other Lego tyres, they would damage them.

I am not sure where Lego are going with these licensed sets that seem to be more about collecting exact models, rather than creating new ones. Saying that, I do have the Lego Triumph, Ducati and Kawasaki motorcycles as display pieces and am waiting for them to finally release a GSXR1000! However, I do enjoy creating my own machines. I have in the past built rock crawlers, dumper trucks, fire tenders and fighting robots. Lego Technic has always been versatile, allowing the builder to construct some seriously clever mechanisms. As I write this, I have sat in my build area, a complicated eight wheel drive, eight wheel steered truck, driven by two power functions controllers, with more on the way. Power functions servo motors are becoming rare these days and can cost in excess of forty quid. However, there are many different companies on e-Bay selling Chinese clone parts that can work very well with the power functions controllers. I know this because after my last servo started to develop a wiring fault, I looked elsewhere for replacement parts. The weakest part of power functions has always been the wiring. My worry with the new control plus system, is that damaged wires cannot be repaired quite as easily. With power functions, I am able to just cut of the wire and solder on a replacement. With access to cheap Chinese clone parts, I should be able to continue to run my power functions parts for a long time, because I have no plans to upgrade to control plus as of now.

I would like to thank my dear friend who has made this and another high end set available to me to play with, this week. They know who they are and they know that they are more treasured than any rare power functions servo I could find!
