How to make a gearbox in LEGO technic (5 Speed+Reverse)

  • The first time I made a LEGO technic gearbox, I could not figure out how it worked. So I decided to create this step by step guide to a simple straight forward 5 speed (+ reverse) transmission for LEGO cars so I can share with everybody what I have learned so far, and perhaps I can learn something myself.
    Instructions available here: rebrickable.co...
    Note: obviously this design is mostly for illustration purposes: power conservation is not optimized (fair amount of gears), the reverse gear is too fast, not the most compact, etc.

    Wow. Finally there is a streamlined gearbox that is actually usable

    Its really cool and all but the gears are not in order and im trying to figure out how to make it shift in the correct order

    Would this work for a 1 cyl lego vaccum engine? I have a 1 cylinder lve powered truck project and it would be awesome to put this in it! And If it won't work with an lve how could I make it work?

      It is a reduction gearbox, so at least at first gear, it should multiply torque quite a bit. If that's still not enough torque, I'd consider replacing the 12T-20T pairs of gears with 8T-24T pairs, which will further multiply torque (at the expense of speed)

      ​@@1plaintext so it should work as showed and speed should increase as the gears increase?

    • @1plaintext

      @@stupidshetproductions yes, speed increases as you shift to higher gears, or, stalls, if the torque output does not meet your output requirement

    Do you have a parts list

      instruction is available at rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-111628/1plaintext/5-speed-reverse-gearbox/ if you open the .ldr with bricklink studio, it should be able to generate a part list, thanks for watching!

    Is it possible to have input and output axle in the same axis? just curious to know.

    • @1plaintext
      @1plaintext  2 роки тому +1

      This is mostly for illustration purpose, a minimally viable unit. Change the output (yellow) connector to a 16-tooth gear and add another 16-tooth gear (driven by it) above it and that will make it concentric, but will increase length by 1L.

      @@1plaintext Thanks a lot. I understood your suggestion, I am trying to make a crab steering for my monster truck project. Currently it has only steer front and rear in different directions.
      But i want them to steer in same direction(Crab steer) So thought of this gear box integration.

    What motor is that ?

    • @1plaintext
      @1plaintext  2 роки тому

      It is a LEGO "Power Function" M motor (M for medium), I believe LEGO has retried all "Power Function" elements but the new "Power Up" motors are compatible.
