Here's how it works: Anybody can ask a question The best answers are voted up and rise to the top Just finished building the 4x4 Crawler and it was a fun build but as a remote control car it is . . . in a word . . . I know it's powerful and can climb over stuff but sometimes there is nothing to crawl over and I'd rather it be faster. Are there any other gear configurations that would make it a bit more exciting? The simplest way to get different speeds is by changing the gears. The instructions get you to build it with a 12:20 gear down in the portal axles, so the easiest way to change the speed is to flip those to get 20:12. From memory that will not work because it interferes with other parts of the model. You can fit two 16 tooth gears in there instead, giving a slight speed increase. Or you can put an 8:24 gear down for even more torque (but even less speed). There two options are shown below. It's important that you keep all four wheels geared the same, otherwise you will be making the front and rear motors fight each other.
That's not great for the motors and gears, and it will drain your batteries very quickly. Deeper inside the model there is another 12:20 gear pair that you can also swap for 16:16 (two sets of this, one each end). You need these old school 5292 puppies ;-) Check a motor comparison here You're gonna have to do some after-market mods but those are very powerful , I have them from the 8366 set. But as you can see in the review, there are pro's and con's on every engine. I suggest reading it in full, it's an amazing source of information and you'll learn a lot like I did. There's a nice poster about them. It has 2 different outputs which makes it so fun to make something that can use them both. They will drain your batteries for sure anyway you use it. You can switch 4 pairs of gears on each end of the crawler (2 pairs in the portal hubs and another 2 pairs inside the gearbox infront of the motor) do this on both ends or you run the risk of broken gears or premature motor wear.
I ran 12 tooth gears all the way from the motor to my hubs for a dramatic increase in speed however the torque suffered severely, I would only recommend doing my gearing with xl motors.

Doctor Who And Companions Official LEGO Comments 5LEGO Cuusoo will now consider LEGO Doctor Who ideas.More LEGO photos of my set will be posted on my website HEREYou Tube video showing Tardis unfold and interior The iconic Tardis sits where it all began, Totters Lane. The scene is a typical London street, with brick wall/fencing and lamp post with Totters Lane sign. The Doctor and his companion stand outside with K9 ready for adventures. The Tardis opens up to become the inner Tardis walls and can be placed next to the console where the Doctor controls their journey through time. The set includes: Tardis, exterior / interior walls. (LEGO if you don't want to use the frame and "glass" part of my Tardis design that's ok)Interior console ( LEGO can choose if they want the full, console and tilt damage )street/Interior base.K9 (18 parts)1 Dalek red, or gray (25 parts) (assuming Lego can get the license)Minifigs (most have dual printed face, happy and shocked )1 and possibly 2 Doctors.
An older and more recent Doctor, so older and younger fans have a Doctor.For the more recent Doctor, I propose Tennant, or maybe Capaldi, who is the latest incarnation. For the other I propose the 4th Doctor Tom Baker, and possibly Sara Jane as his companion. I am open for LEGO to choose the Doctor/s2 Companions (Rose Tyler if Tennant is chosen, or Clara Oswald if Capaldi is chosen.(Possiblility of 1) Weeping Angel (Face printed on both sides)(Possiblility of 1) Cyberman If LEGO likes the idea, a sound brick for the iconic Tardis sound.Due to the nature of the set fans may buy 2 sets. One to have the Tardis on the street scene, and another to have the Tardis unfolded to become the inner walls placed next to console.Total part count including Minifigs around 530 (less if just the top of the console is chosen)LEGO I will supply you with the Ldd file. If you choose this I am open to you, and fans choosing which Doctor/s. And choosing if you want only certain parts of the design/ Minifigures.Be warned which way you turn, sometimes, it's a choice between becoming a rock and a hard place, as the Weeping Angel may turn you to stone, or the Dalek exterminate you!
Figures have dual sided printed facial expressions.Real photos of Lego, with contrast adjustment in Photoshop, and Laser fire! Not sure look HERETom's scarf works with an existing LEGO part, but with a scarf printed on it. The shade and cloth folds, and waviness details are built into the printed color. The scarf being a part is also removable.BOX ART: I think fans may geek out if the Box was a front view photo, or render of the Iconic LEGO Tardis. The top left window could be the LEGO logo, and below that the white rectangle could have text saying the set number, part count etc. The box doors could open showing photos of the set. I think this would appeal more to Who fans, stand out on store shelves, and make the set more unique and collectible. LEGO did a similar thing with the 4x4 Crawler Exclusive Edition. The set could have a small pamphlet with details on Doctor Who and it's history. Thank you for your support, and consideration.
