    Great to see that there's already a power functions solution that hides the recicer

    Impressive customization to put the Power Function system. This was not gained due to the limited space in the central part of the locomotive.

    Power Functions is better because it is analog. Though you should only use Power-Functions with the Crocodile, as other City locos that are designed with Powered-Up in mind let you press the button and it slowly accelerates. The Crocodile's Technic motor doesn't have this luxury. It can either be moving at a set speed or be stationary (probably why everyone prefers Power-Functions for this one).

    does the crocodile train set come with the battery motorization or is it sold separately?

  • @DieCastoms

    Why do you remove the traction tires from the other two wheel sets? too much rolling friction?

    • @CountStudios
      @CountStudios  3 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      yes, removing the tyres makes the train run significantly better

      @@CountStudios I watched a review by Jang on his channel, Jangbricks, of this locomotive. He was devastated at first when it wouldn't go around a single curve of well manicured track in his city without derailing .. and then he published an update showing that just removing those tires made a WORLD of difference, and now he loves the thing! I would not have expected such a drastic difference! Thank you for answering!

    The single 1x1 technic brick with hole with the gear connected to it under the motor is too weak. The motor gear will inevitably twist it or the single brick will come loose and it will lose enough contact to start grinding the gears. A better design would be to use two 42003 liftarms connected to the motor with technic pins, a 6L axle running through them with a technic bush in the middle of that axle. The axle is held to the walls with two 1x1 technic bricks with holes. Then the gear under the motor is held down one 1x2 brick next to the green 1x2 technic brick with a hole, two 1x2 jumper plates on top of those two 1x2 bricks, one 1x2 plate holding the jumper plates together, two 1x1 technic bricks with holes on top of that, one 1x2 tile holding the two 1x1 technic bricks with holes together. Then instead of a technic pin with axle holding that gear in, you can reuse the yellow axle that came with the locomotive to hold the gear on and push that into those two technic bricks. The battery box keeps that gear and axle from slipping out so you don't need to secure it. Then when the motor torques that lower gear, it's highly unlikely it will come loose.

    • @CountStudios
      @CountStudios  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The gear is unable to twist as it rests against the battery box meaning that it has no space in front or behind it and subsequantly cannot rotate. The 1x1 brick also cannot losen and start to grind as there is no vertical movement between the gears above or below it and both of those gears are secured separately to the brick meaning the brick itself cannot move up or down. Having done extensive testing with this design, both before and after your comment, I have had no issues with it.
      All that aside however, its great to see somebody else coming up with a solution and if you had any pictures i would love to see them.

    • @snafunet
      @snafunet 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@CountStudios I'll take some pictures of my design and post them. Initially your design worked for me for a little while but some more unpredictable things started happening like the battery box came loose or the large motor came loose and that brick wouldn't stay connected or it would twist and not stay straight. Either way I couldn't get it to stabilize again after that so I redesigned the setup so that it's connected to two studs instead of one.

    I would prefer to use Powered Up According to the instructions then control it with my phone so I get sounds. Its more fun when you have sound.

    • @qdaniele97
      @qdaniele97 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The sound come from the phone, not the model. You can download some recording of a train, play it on your phone while using power functions and it's the same.
      It would've been cool if they added something like a sound brick controlled by powered up.
      Maybe they will add something like that to spike.

      Yes you could just swap out the L motor. However the M motor has a lot less power so the train wouldnt be able to pull as much
