Toolo

We are making vehicles to prepare the farm land.





Lots of TOOLO vehicles

Build the farm




All the farms

 





Wheels and axles

Single axle and separate axles

One way has a lot of friction when turning and the other is easy.


Which will be best for a Balloon car?


Fly wheel car


Geared down

Goes when you let go.


Motorized

Balloon car is the challenge for today.



Trying to keep the car together and not have it fall apart from the pressure of the balloon is harder than it looked.
The horizontal to vertical bracing - vertical beam connected to two beams with two plates between keeps the model stable.
Without horizontal to vertical stability the balloon will knock off the LEGO elements.
Without a way to keep the balloon away from tires the balloon will stop the car.
