Simple mod to new Lego Crocodile to fix derailment issue.playingwithechoesRank: #1403 random-stuff, cool-things, allthingslegoBlocksBlocks prevnext Prev Next Modifications are intended to not interfere with the original looks of the Crocodile set but instead solve the derailment issues that the train is appearing to have for multiple users that motorize it. Note: Build as per official Lego instructions before doing these simple mods.Part 1: remove the black 4x4 plate with square hole and replace with 1x4 plates. Use a 2x1 brick with Technic hole to provide a stronger mounting spot for the connection between motor and cabin.Step 2: remove 4x10 plate and replace with 4x8 plate to make room for 2x2 plate with Technic hole. Add 2x1 Technic beam. Modify internal assembly to have 2x4 tile reach over and a 2x2 dome underneath to reinforce connection. Remove 2x2 plates under the angled pieces and replace witih 2x1 plates to avoid interference (see bottom right). Add 1x1 round plate as per top right corner. Remove blind wheels and replace with flanged wheels as shown in bottom right. (Note: do NOT add rubberbands to the new flanged wheels, keep rubber bands on existing flanged wheels.)Step 3: add 2x3 plate up front on the underside to stabilize the front floating axle. Swap dark grey 1x6 and 1x4 tiles as shown and use 1x3 plate to provide room for added flanged wheels. prevnext +32 -Favorite +Favorite Unblock User's Content Block User's Content Sub/Block Channels random-stuff:UploadUnblockBlockSubUnsubsubs: 147 cool-things:UploadUnblockBlockSubUnsubsubs: 96 allthingslego:UploadUnblockBlockSubUnsubsubs: 95
