Can you make a Lego kinetic Western dragon Automata

[@twan8240]

Had to watch it twice because I saw the captions comment only later, but great video regardless and not bad to watch it twice! ;) Those motors from the kit are also cool, sure are a lot more compact! too bad they don't sell the small motors separately

Hello, how you can have so many legos? I mean you only buy Lego or mix with other brands?

[@rambunctiousmedia3350]

You and the Wuppertalbahn make a hanging railway look so easy.

[@daniel_schmidt.]

Fun fact: I am currently in Wuppertal visiting my brother. Perfect time to recommend that.

[@_ninthRing_]

Thanks for this. LEGO technology has come a wonderfully long way since I was a kid (the remote controlled motor, used here, is pretty sweet), but It's still just as fun to play with & surprisingly fascinating to watch stuff being built. I always wanted to try building a robotic/prosthetic human hand with as much dexterity as a real one (so many joints), so if you're looking for interesting ideas, I reckon that designing & building a Robo-Hand & wrist would be a serious challenge.

[@herr_panzerfaust2514]

I love how incredibly simple yet effective this is!!! Great work pal

That is so cool! Would be interested to know the battery life, I imagine the motor is under quite some stress. Love how compact it is, would look great going around a city.

[@JKBrickworks]

Me, as well. I haven't tested how long it will run on a full charge yet.

[@Will_Informed]

An amazing build from start to finish, your designs never cease to amaze.

[@TheNaterater]

Another wonderful creation from one of the design geniuses with Lego. Congratulations Jason and thank you very much for all that you show us and for your teachings.

[@themasterrocket3014]

I've watched this 3 times already and I still can't get over how cool this thing is.

[@cheesybricks8710]

I was wondering if anyone would ever try to use the roller coaster tracks for a hanging train and you’ve done just that keep up the awesome work!

[@fredko7086]

Once built and working, it seems and looks so simple, obvious. But I would probably never ever had been able to imagine, design and build it. Once again, much impressive, excellent, fun, and even amazingly detailed. Thumbs up once more !

[@bucherwurm5344]

Thats the best thing i´ve seen someone doing with the new track peaces so far. Besides your LLRT system of course.

[@GregChabala]

I like that these small third party motors are getting some good use from you. I hope LEGO gets the hint that we might like this sort of thing.

Would it be possible to get a parts list or an LDD file for the motor assembly? Trying to watch the video and pause to make a parts list but want to make sure I have everything needed. Thanks so much. Amazing design!

[@niepowiemjaksienazywam1972]

Will you make a version that can go up and down a slope? That would be really cool

[@Deus0tiosus]

Well technically, this thing probably goes down slopes.

[@JKBrickworks]

Not to go up the sloped roller coaster track pieces, but this one will go up a gentle slope built using the straight sections.

[@Orinslayer]

For slopes you would need to use gears fir the wheels and track, there might be a way to work it in, but definitely not on curves.

Jason's MOCs always look so clean and simple. But looks can be deceiving. Cool build!

really cool train. can u try making a suspended roller coaster with this? also mabye try alternating sides with the wheels for more support

[@MeisterderSteine]

It's fantastically well implemented and built

[@maxmocs5008]

This is really cool. I've been following your progress on Rollercoaster-based light rail systems since you made that three-car train with the medium motor in the center, but you've clearly outdone yourself with this design. I like how compact it is, and how functional and realistic it looks. I'm probably gonna get the Ninjago City Gardens this year, and I'd like to find a way to have this design running through the full city. Just one question, is it possible to put a few tiles on the ends of each car to suggest an articulated segment, or is there too little clearance? Either way, I love it.

[@JKBrickworks]

I'd love to see that! Yes, you could definitely add some plates/tiles to the ends, as long as they don't go all the way out to the edge of the car. The cars are 6 wide, and I think you could add two plates to the center 4 studs without any clearance problems.

[@serhancinar5218]

Beautiful, just add a station to it, a flying platform...

[@dragontouched6848]

This is really nice. Could you maybe make some instructions for this contraption? I really would like to build it and maybe also a list of the needed parts?

Amazing! You finally cracked the code for suspension trains.

[@marc-andremuller1954]

I’ve been working on a similar design but my bogies have always had two wheels which as severely limited the capability to follow the roller coaster track. I never even tried if a single wheel would be able to stay aligned. Also with the full size motor, battery box, and receiver the train becomes awfully heavy heavy requiring massive overhead rail support.

[@JKBrickworks]

I can appreciate that. I built one years ago using LEGO PF components that ran on the old 4.5V single rails, and yeah, it was a beast. When I found these little motors, I knew they would be great for models like this.
