  • you can get plastic lego differential

  • You can from an older set, but not the one I had. I think mine was the Mindstorm NXT set.

  • You do know that there is a lego piece with a differential already right ? 3 equally sized sprockets, the differential with the sprocket and 2 axis. You can find a image of it here : h t t p ://halr9000 (dot) com/article/97.

  • There is not one with the NXT set, after making the video, I purchased an old Mindstorm 1.5 set and it had one there.

  • that is a great way of explaining a diff to all those people who are mechanically challenged(my mom)

  • That's very fun

  • Hello. I have regular lego differentials that I sometimes use in my trial trucks I build. However I wanted more of a challenge, so I am going to build on kind of similar to yours, but I have a different design. Because of this video I will subscribe, it would be great if you subscribe back just so that you could see when I post a video of the new differential. Thanks, have a nice day. (PS as i write this i have no vids up but they will be up very soon)

  • @rednail246 there not as strong - the gears break so if you wanted to build a strong, off road robot, you should use that idea - it's got more gears that are larger so there less likely to break.

  • I masturbated to this.

  • That is so amazing. I'm studying electrical engineering and all that mechanical stuff really eludes me. I also have a dusty LEGO Mindstom kit lying around and your video really gave me some ideas. Thank you.

  • I have one made by Lego that is much smaller, but it is amazing you can make one out of regular pieces.

  • dude thats cool!! !OLLOL!OL!

  • i had a limited time lego set that cost me $185 and it had way nicer and better differential and it was a 6weel drive system. XD

  • As the differential keeps spinning, you'll have less torque, therefore less power. Pin it in place to get the maximum amount of torque for your wheels, man. Nice one, though.

  • Lol the differential is bigger than the wheels :DD
