Nice video.

[ATITANIC1992]

@keyboardjeff Thanks!

[Known4It]

What modifications have you done? :)

[ATITANIC1992]

i have drilled the inlets of the cylinders. I have used WD40 as lubricant. But WD40 is not so good, is it?

[Chiliarcher]

Really? wd40? prepare to buy new cylinder, wd40 corrodes lego as i know it

[ATITANIC1992]

lol WD40 does no damage to lego and it does not corrode at all. The lubricant can be washed off at any time. Right now i am kind of inactive with LPE so are my cylinders. I dont know which lubricant is the best. someone say silicone, but the worker in the shop where i bought the lubricant said it was not good as lubricant in machinery and moving parts because it hardens

spelt macro wrong

[Catz0125]

I made a lego engine that does like 1500 RPM on my vacuum cleaner... it's hella fast... I'll post a vid soon...

[scotty4Him]

I dont think that the cylinders are meant to go that fast...

[animatorSimen]

the next time; use the makro function on your cam, cause i cant nearly see what you have made. or buy a better camera

[Chiliarcher]

oh well, i've just heard so much rumours that wd40 corrodes lego. those rumours could be wrong, anyways, nice lpe.
