Bills' Creations - Lego Technic 8880 Transmission

[rokenbok101]

hey bill if you still have the instructions do you think you can make a PDF file and send it to me please? i have this set too but not the instructions.

[jamiek245]

i have that kit i love it i got it handed down to me by my brother

[jrlegomaster]

the reason why it can't go 3 and 4 gear is because one of the gears is hitting a lego plate.

[KadaverKurt]

Boring video, gay music!

[Superarniukas]

Cool



[kevinstheman1]

those areent pullies their syncrodes and the "dog teeth" which is what they call it in a real transmission catch to the inside of those gears when you shift.

[legomanre]

this guy sounds like a rapist

[notaloka2155]

Where can i buy these kits

[notaloka2155]

where can i buy a kit like this???

[nuwud]

I wanted this one as a kid...

[trackspike64]

got this set and its awesome will never sell it ...

[brysowg]

@trackspike64 I still have mine as well..

[notaloka2155]

@trackspike64 where you got it

[notaloka2155]

@trackspike64 

[BlackSpid3y]

so you sell all of your LEGOS right after you build and post a video of it ?

[brysowg]

@BlackSpid3y Not right after.  Sometimes I keep them...

[BlackSpid3y]

@brysowg i see ...

[trackspike64]

do u sell them of keep them is my question 

[brysowg]

@trackspike64 I usually sell the models after I build them...

[trackspike64]

do u keep all ur lego stuff u build

[brysowg]

@trackspike64 No I tear it down soon after I take the vid...

[legoearth500]

why did you suddenly stop posting videos?

[brysowg]

@legoearth500 I am starting to write software for the iPhone and iPad and it took more time. I will get back to posting vids one of these days...

[chris21198]

is that model still available anywhere in uk? or somewhere else?

[brysowg]

@chris21198 When I got mine it seemed that this model was more available from EBAY in Europe than EBAY in the USA. My guess is that they sold more in Europe, So your best bet is to scour the EBAY listings - from Germany and France and Spaih and Italy. Good luck. BTW this is a really awsome model...

[crookie28]

great video! there is much talk of technic clutch gearboxs but this is the first one I've seen which really shows how it works.

[brysowg]

@crookie28 Thanks. I just rewatched it and it is a complicated sucker. I had to put a motor on it to begin to understand it...

[brysowg]

@crookie28 I tried to figure it out and the only way was to power it up. Then it clicked. It is really complicated. At least the video does clarify that it is a actual working transmission. Those Lego people are amazing...

[hondayamahafan]

your motor is geared to high before the transmission

[brysowg]

@hondayamahafan Probably right...

[rokenbok101]

your welcome : - )

[rokenbok101]

uhh bill thats a medium motor not a xl motor

[brysowg]

@rokenbok101 Your right... Thanks for the clarification...

[legodude12345678]

please look at lego technic assault course 1-3

legodude12345678

[verizon1357]

u take to much time to show ur trucks

[BettyMasterPain]

oldies lego technic rules,

[AISC95]

where can I buy this set? ( I know they don´t produce it anymore) Is there anyone who could sell it??? please notify me!!!

[ksp420]

Wow, that stick shift could have saved me days worth of time. I had to build that from scratch with standard technic pieces (bulky) when I built my first 5 speed Lego tranny. Mind you I was 12 years old and had the time then (17+years ago). But this dilema forced me to come up with several of my own cvt (continuously variable transmission) designs. Bill, take a look at my video. You should be able to recreate my design and have fun too. Thanks a lot for the great video!

[eggheadrrlz]

Damn, finally I understand how it works!

[omarbaaghil]

i like this lego very much

[Lalelu2474]

the motor needs more ps to go in 3 and 4 gear :D

bild in a bigger motor!!

than it will work

[somebodyhelpme2009]

its teknik not technyc

[tractorboy8420]

funny exept for the y the box sais Technic  lol

[SeasOfRhye]

LOL  so there ARE lego shift collar pieces! no wonder they can make those kits so compact. All these I've been trying to build transmissions of similar size with straight cut gears and sliding countershafts! That shift panel looks really handy as well, can you buy these specific pieces seperate from lego or would i have to go buy a bunch of kits?

[tuv45]

just call the lego company and say you lost the pieces, they'll send you an envelope with em .... you just need to be able to describe the peice really well.

[blackbrick999]

why dont you install a stronger motor? I think lego offers some or if not, modify the motor. bdw nice work sir!

[kelperbelcher]

why does that electric motor has 4 wires??? anyone knows???

[2002636777]

sensors for the motor

[izzatdaniel96]

do they still sell this model?

[HTA4]

what the..??? 00:21 - 00:25 lol

[knexfoller94]

cool moodel who much was ?

[MooseTuningInc]

HEY! that's a clutch dog! Very Kool! Clutch Dogs are the very device used to drive older and antique outboard boat motors.

[ilwcfg]

:-S really confusing for a german people my transmission on my lego audi r8 isnt so complicate

[Trevs99999]

will you show me how it works im trying to put one in my chasey of my 8284 plz reply

[djzal]

i have the same car!! one of the best lego technic!! from 1997 i believe...

[teamkoryotkd]

were did you get the set

[5000cannon]

are you willing to sell your car?

[brysowg]

No. I do not sell any of my models!!! Happy Holidays!!! Bill

[ilwcfg]

to modificate a car to make it functionaly is really difficult , i am going to build a lamborghini murcielago

[brysowg]

Good luck at your model!!! Bill

[tyler78768]

Hi,

I'm French, Sorry for my English.

It's a very good video for de gearbox. Now, I want to have this car... thanks for that ;o).

I have one question : What is the first music on your video?

@++

[tyler78768]

Sorry, It's on page 3 : "The song is "Maneater" from the CD "Super Hits Daryl Hall & John Oates"... "

@++

[brysowg]

:) ... Bill

[brysowg]

As you said - "The song is "Maneater" from the CD "Super Hits Daryl Hall & John Oates"... " Thanks for the comments... Bill

[NoxNoctisUmbra]

how much the models cost?

[brysowg]

It was a SUPER MODEL and sold originally for over $100 USD... Now it is hard to find for that price as it is a RARE set... I have seen it sold for $75 with missing pieces... Bill

[blindassassin111]

where could i get this because i have been looking and it isnt any where so far

[brysowg]

About the only place you are going to find this one is EBAY or BRICKLINK... It is more available on EBAY EUROPE... In the USA it is very hard to find for some reason. If you really want it then do a daily WORLDWIDE search for it on EBAY and it will pop up eventually. It seems to be readily available in GERMANY... Bill

[blindassassin111]

thanks for the responce and advice i will go do that now:) bye

[brysowg]

:) ... Bill

[LegoTechnicLover]

did you ever finish the 8880 supercar?

[brysowg]

HA HA!!! Not yet. But I will and soon. I intend on building the NEW TECHNIC OFF ROADER. I will finish this 8880 in celebration of that build soon thereafter to show you the contrast. I have been putting off finishing this car so as to do it in coordination with the OFF ROADER. I will do a special video showing BOTH VEHHICLES together and compare the OLD DESIGN with the NEW... All I can say is STAY TUNED... Bill

[LegoTechnicLover]

Ok, thank you.

[brysowg]

:) ... I will be building the OFF ROADER in several days... Bill

[LegoTechnicLover]

Did you ever get to finishing those models?

[brysowg]

I will finish this model in conjunction with the OFF ROADER when I build it... Bill

[zakilium]

heb je hem nu einelijk af

[brysowg]

Ik heb een video met mijn gezicht belde "Bills' Creations - What I Look Like..." ... Bill

[zakilium]

ja die heb ik al 5 keer gezien wat is daar mee

[brysowg]

Het is een cool model van een auto doen geloven motor ... Bill

[zakilium]

wanneer komt er een filmje waarin de auto af is

[brysowg]

Ik heb het nog niet klaar. Ik zal werken aan het snel ... Bill

[zakilium]

heb je het al bijna klaar !

[brysowg]

Ik heb tot het einde van dit model. Een van deze dagen zal ik eindigen... Bill

[Zimion32]

I have a 8448 Ferrari set which has 5 speeds plus reverse, instead of only 4 speeds. I've been wanting the 8880 for some time now because of the transmission parts and the higly specialized wheels which allow for 4WD.

[brysowg]

There is a new truck coming out July 25 from LEGO with a transmission... Bill

[LucCSX]

Hi Bill ! That's an amazing kit !

What's the name of the background music ! very good !!

Thank's !

[brysowg]

Thanks for the nice comments!!! The kit is super!!! The song is "Maneater" from the CD "Super Hits Daryl Hall & John Oates"... Bill

[kwiatek1969]

Great model,im waiting for my 8865 for only 30pounds!!!!from ebay

[brysowg]

Sounds like you got a good deal!!! Bill

[kwiatek1969]

Yeas,a very good deal thanks bill:)

[Legoweapond]

You know what?? I will buy the set 8480 i got 3 auktions on that kit the first one is on $20.99 the second one costs $79:00 the third costs $150:00

[brysowg]

I ended up getting the 8480 and it was way more than $20.99. Most of these Space Shuttles sell between $90-$190 USD on EBAY. They are more easy to find in EUROPE than the USA... Bill

[Legoweapond]

hihi ^^ i ended up to find 8880 it was way to expensive hehe

[brysowg]

HA HA! Yes it is pretty expensive... Bill

[Legoweapond]

hehe but it is cool i only have buy the motors and the other technical V9 set of that projekt ^^

[brysowg]

Then you should definitly try to motorize it!!! Bill

[Legoweapond]

you know all the action on the 8480 in ended on a prize on 190 - 150 $ so i will end up to get that model i will buy some lego mindstorms thing or vision command ^^

[brysowg]

Vision command is pretty hard to find... Good luck... Bill

[Legoweapond]

thanx ^^ i know it is very hard to find

[brysowg]

BTW - it is more available in EBAY EUROPE than EBAY USA... Same with the Technic Space Shuttle... Bill

[Legoweapond]

woow this is the best lego car i ever seen , so complicated

[brysowg]

It really is!!! I have to finish this model!!! HA HA!!! Bill

[Legoweapond]

yes it is seck! how much did you gived for this model?

[brysowg]

I think I spent around $89 on this one USED and it is a HUGE one... Bill

[Legoweapond]

woow 89 dollars?! not much i coud give 150 for this model :D

[brysowg]

I just checked on EBAY and they have a BUYIT NOW for $189!!! SO I got a deal... BTW - I have TWO other video on this car - see - "Bills' Creations - Lego Technic 8880 Super Model PREVIEW" - "Bills' Creations - Lego Technic 8880 Chassis" - "Bills' Creations - Lego Technic 8880 Transmission" (this video)... Bill

[legomaniacman]

Awesome!,

LEGO just came out with the new 4X4 truck for preorder and they should put a transmission in there. Its the parts cost i guess

[brysowg]

Thanks for the tip and comments!!! Bill

[KLOKRIECHER]

Very nice set.

Keep racing.

[brysowg]

Thanks. BTW - I'm still working on this set. I just got sidetracked with INDY stuff lately!!! This is a super model... Bill

[lorirocks777]

After seeing this I'm interested to see how the super car Mk II (8448) would work with it's 6 speed gearbox! The only downside is that they didn't make it 4 wheel drive and it only has 2 wheel steering.

They certainly had a knack for making good kits back in the day.

[brysowg]

Thanks for the comments!! Now I will have to keep my eye out for the 8488...  Be Well... Bill

[pinkprince3000]

man nice set i wish i had it and the motor

[brysowg]

Thanks for the fine comments! This is a really neat set and I am going to work some more on it today! This is a HUGH set and I've kind of spread it out in segments. This transmission is so super cool and it only becomes apparent after you hook a motor on it!!! Be Well... Bill

[ronstero]

would you recomend me the new train station?

[brysowg]

If you are into the trains then DEFINITLY!!! I have the COVERED TRAIN STATION. It is a great massive set and I haven't yet displayed it! OH HOW I LOVE MY TRAINS! One of these days I am going to unleash my trains on everyone. I have a number of personal designs including one that even sounds like a STEAM ENGINE! 9 VOLT RULES!!!! Be Well... Bill

[ronstero]

hey bill im soon going to spain and i sure want to buy a cool lego could you give me some advice?

[brysowg]

Well the top one to get in my book would be the HUGE TECHNIC Bulldozer or Cherry Picker! They are both current builds! More standard stuff would be a CASTLE which is also a curret offering! Definitly a Set or two from the CREATOR series - that way you get more bang for the buck! More builds - a 8 in 1 kinda kit. The KING KONG kit (Technic DINO) 3 in 1 really has a great number of technic gears a remote control and 2 motors! Same with the HUGE BULLDOZER. Too many!!! Have fun in Spin! Bill

[bajtekflip]

where you can take hold this is lego 8880,drop me e-mail,i´from czek republic in europa so that with don´t look to of my gramatic

[brysowg]

In Europe it is pretty easy to get on EBAY. This one pops up in EUROPEAN EBAY every so often... Bill

[Sinjinator]

Excellent Bill, 5 stars.

[brysowg]

Thanks for the fine comments! This is a great set and I hope to work on it today. This is probably one of the TOP kits ever made by LEGO! Be Well... Bill

[djpit6]

cool.................!

[brysowg]

HA HA!!!! Indeed it is C O O L!!!! When you get down and dig into this one it is simply amazing!!! Be Well.... Bill

[totcemiamdorit]

wow soo cool!

[brysowg]

Thanks for the comments! IT IS WAY SO COOLLLLL!!! Be Well... Bill

[indyfan402]

amazing!!!!!!!!

[brysowg]

Thanks for the comments! It is really amazing! I had to really study this one for quite a long while to figure it out! It is really a work of enginerring art by the Designers at Lego! Be Well... Bill
