This page is VERY useful! Adrien rates this set 5 of 5 stars.Ive had this since it first came out. Was my first technic set. It is great I have just pulled the F1 apart to wash all the pieces and out it back together as the supercar. The inventory is fantastic as I can check I still have all the pieces before I put it back together. Just bought 42030 Volvo,awaiting arrival in post. Fred Smith rates this set 5 of 5 stars.I had this set years ago.Tom rates this set 5 of 5 stars.Just dug this out of my parents garage with the intention of putting it up for sale. Found this website and thinking it's a good idea to check the inventory against the parts I've got in the box - while I know it was complete all those years ago when I took it apart and boxed it up, reading the instructions makes it VERY tempting to put it back together again...just to check....thing is I'd probably end up NOT selling it
, and that's not the purpose of this exercise!!

Note that only one driving ring can be engaged at a time.
through the center of the H returns the opposite ring to center. The new driving ring is the key to everything. It slides over the which we first saw in 1993. Small tabs on the driving ring allow it to lock along these ridges, but still slide with some extraThe driving ring grips the longitudinal grooves on the axle joiner causing them to rotate together. groove in the middle of the ring allows it to be pushed along the axle joiner in either direction. A set of 4 driving dogs on either end then mate with a 16 tooth idler gear allowing the idler's rotation to be either synched with the axle or allowed to spin freely. The animation shows how the new driving rings work to engage and disengage the clutch/idler gears. The driving ring is shown in lower axles are joined with the gray axle joiner. ring rotates with the axles. At first, the driving ring is disengaged so both the dark gray and green gears are not driven and
slip on the axle. The driving ring then engages the green gear thus drives the blue gear. Because the driving ring does not use rather uses four tapered driving dogs, there is considerable backlash between the driving ring and the gear. The allows the driving ring to be engaged even while it and the mating idler gear are turning The lower left computer image is color coded to show the different gears paths for each of the 4 gears. The red parts go to theThe yellow center differential is the output to theYou can see that the yellow axles interface with the other gears in two places: blue and green. the blue and green axles are always turning at different rates, as are the blue and green idler gears. The cyan idler gear turns with the blue one, and the brown idler gear turns with the green one. Next, note that the red engine gear is linked to the purple drivingThis means that the red and purple axles are always turning
at a different rate (3X). Now let's trace each of the 4 gears starting always with the red engine axle: 1st Gear: (purple ring, blue gear) 24:8 (purple) x 8:16 (blue) x 16:16 (yellow) x 24:24 (diff) x 14x14 (bevels) x 24:16 (final diff) = 2.25:1. 2nd Gear: (purple ring, green gear) 24:8 (purple) x 16:16 (green) x 8:24 (yellow) x 24:24 (diff) x 14x14 (bevels) x 24:16 (final diff) = 1.5:1. 3rd Gear: (red ring, cyan gear) 16:16 (cyan) x 8:16 (blue) x 16:16 (yellow) x 24:24 (diff) x 14x14 (bevels) x 24:16 (final diff) = 1:1.33. 4th Gear: (red ring, brown gear) 16:16 (brown) x 16:16 (green) x 8:24 (yellow) x 24:24 (diff) x 14x14 (bevels) x 24:16 (final diff) = 1:2. Note that 3rd and 4th gears are overdrive. This would be bad for a real car and make this model difficult to motorize. case, the engine is really meant to be driven by the wheels rather than the wheels by the engine.
