@@klikbriks1218 nice. What's the biggest technic set you got?

[@KennyMinigun]

A word of caution: the more the motor is loaded, the more current it draws. The more current, the more heat is produced. I suspect LEGO put that clutch gear to protect from that.

[@klikbriks1218]

I agree. Sometimes however, you have to remove such things to really test the capabilities of a model.

[@bartdereu9267]

The clutch is mostly there for end stop. There's not real other protection so at the end the wire will just break if you don't stop in time.

[@TraktorTarzan]

i doubt it will get to a degree where it is an issue

[@sorestarbing3978]

I would not do such a brave experiment on such an expensive Lego set. Nice review by the way!

[@thatguynamedgeorge9218]

After getting the set, I just realized that you don't even need to buy the new gear. I took the 24th gear that was in the boom extension function, and swapped it out with the clutch gear from the lifting function. The boom extension works fine, and is stronger in the sense that it is harder to slip with two clutch gears. So it becomes a win-win-win. Stronger lift, stronger extension, no need to buy extra gear.

this was actually really good, I like technic sets but i think that some sets' gears or motors work too slowly, thanks for this simple but ingenious tip, keep going bro. Almost at 400 subs:)

[@klikbriks1218]

Than you! I really appreciate the support!

[@PeterHendricks59]

You should point out that the motor must be switched off as soon as it stalls, or you risk burning it out. There is a reason the designer put that clutch there. Without it you must use your software safety feature, aka. brain.

[@klikbriks1218]

Yes, you are absolutely right sir! I was doing that behind the scenes but didn't mention it in the video.

[@Aegis23]

Ofc it stalled half way. That is because the wire is being spooled. As it does that the radius of the spool drum increases, which in term changes the gear ratio. Works almost like a cvt gearbox in the way it is affecting the gear ratios.

[@bartdereu9267]

A better fix would be if you put the cluch gear in an area where the speed is higher. You know that power is speed x force. If you doulbe the speed of the slip clutch, the power also gets doubled before it slips. (simple physics)

[@pretziboy4162]

There's maybe one flaw in that fix: the motor can suffer

[@klikbriks1218]

[@klikbriks1218]

@@pretziboy4162 what your saying is true!

[@macp349]

Awesome video! Awesome mod! I may have to go back and give mine a once over. With my (kit) standard clutch gear in there, I can lift or winch enough force that my "counterbalance" seriously lift up, once, I was even able to get the wheels off the ground and on verge of tipover (load was way below grade). Yours doesn't seem to do that as much, at least until it can't really lift anymore. The other problem I was having was the line collapsing on itself on the drum, separating and going in between the spacers on the spool. I wonder if a solid 3 stud spacer would help that. I'm also wondering if a worm gear could be fashioned in there somehow and if that would increase capacity over clutch gear, at least?

[@klikbriks1218]

To be honest i'm really not sure as I have not tried this. The other issue is that I have already taken my crane apart so that I can utilize the parts to construct other models! Unfortunately, I don't think I'm going to rebuild this model anytime soon. I wish you all the best though! Tell me how the worm gear thing goes if you decide to try it!

[@macp349]

@@klikbriks1218 haven't got around to getting a worm gear in there, have been seeing that it introduces quite a bit of friction, to make it less efficient. I have taped my 3 spacers together, to make one, so there's no space for the string to slip through with heavy loads. Haven't tried lifting heavy load though, yet

[@klikbriks1218]

@@macp349 oh ok I see. Thanks for letting me know man!

[@thatguynamedgeorge9218]

Dude, the end wheel/circle parts that are on the end of the spacers are super tight on the axle. I just pushed them in until there was no space inbetween the spacers, and it fixed the problem. Plus the spacers couldn't move out again unless some force pushed out the two circle parts pushing the spacers together. For the tip over problem, make sure the outriggers are out and if possible, have something underneath them that makes the cranes not able to roll forward or backwards. You can also make a mod that has a tray in the back for actual heavy counterweights.

Anyone have the explanation for the motor stopping when it got halfway?

[@klikbriks1218]

This was due to a loss of power and the motor consequently stalled.

[@halcyondaystunes]

Why doesn't anyone on these lego technic videos speak? I dont want to read while trying to watch the video.

[@klikbriks1218]

Totally understand! The thing is that i don't want to reveal my identity at this point. Doing voiceovers will partially reveal it. I might however do them in the future. I hope you understand!

[@adiurfaditya]

Can you please explain the physics behind this ? Thanks

[@klikbriks1218]

Of course. Could you please be a bit more specific on what part of the model's physics you would like explained? Thanks.

[@adiurfaditya]

@@klikbriks1218 how the gear swap increased the lifting capacity ?

[@LieuNoir]

@@adiurfaditya Both gears have the same number of teeth, it means they will have the same transmission ratio. But the replaced white gear is a clutch gear, it means if the needed torque ( needed load) gets too high, it disengage itself and stop turning. In order to protect the motor from using the motor beyond its capacities.

[@bartdereu9267]

easier explained : it's a gear with a slip clutch inside. As soon as the torque gets too high, it slips. Preventing an overload for whatever that is in the circuit.
