Technic Turntable

---Today's Brick---
Name: Technic Turntable
Size: 6 in diameter, 4 1/3 tall
Color(s): Transparent white, black

This piece is useful for pretty much any model that requires a part to turn. It's not so useful for use as a steering gear because of its bulkyness, although I admit I have used it for that a couple times on robots.
Some models you could use this on:
  • Fire truck
  • Tow truck
  • Crane
  • Cherrypicker
  • Heavy loader, as a steering gear
  • And so on.


In the photo above, not that the lower part of the turntable can be turned by the black gear teeth in the inside.
Here, you can see that the upper part of the turntable can be turned by the gear teeth around the outside edge. The two sets of teeth are on the same plane, which helps when building models.
