I want to thank Squad for this "easter egg!"

[Azimech]

Okay, this will probably sound weird to some but I'm not talking about real easter eggs in the game but something different:

The RCS Ball

A sort of technical easter egg (with the looks of an alien egg).

Let me explain:

1. They have a very high impact rating: 50m/s. This way it can be used where other parts fail.
2. You can attach other parts to them. Recently I even made a chain with them.
3. They have an almost frictionless spherical collider, perfect for building bearings, gears etc.
4. They're not too heavy, not too light. I made a shotgun with these balls as ammo.
5. They can withstand quite a lot of heat too!

It's almost like Squad wanted us to find it and see what we can do with them. Even if it was unintentional: THANK YOU GUYS! @Badie , please pass the message for me :-)

I'll leave you with the animation of my newest stock engine.

I've seen it on reddit and it's truly amazing. When I saw the working clutch pack I had to double take. It's wonderful.

I do know a few things about cars. I've modified my own with a different engine & gearbox, altered the electrics, etc. But it's not my profession.

But still... *clap clap*

Hey... I thought of something. Can you build a car powered by a stock engine?

If you manage that I'm sure the devs will immediately start work on a new DLC.

Ehm, you mean driven by jet engines?

[Azimech]

I have a lot. All stock.

Very impressive sir.  Are the chambers actually under some sort of force (Ie combustion or jets just blowing on them) or what?  what drives the engine?  

I'd really like to see a wki/FAQ/guide on how to use these to create bearing and such....

Since no combustion is really happening in KSP yet, I use Panther jet engines to drive the pistons.

I have an older engine you can analyze, if you still have questions, drop me a line. https://kerbalx.com/Azimech/77I--Piston-Engine-Prototype-2L6

I don't want to wake up from this dream...

Oh, wait... I ALREADY AM! Nicely done!

I mean driven by something like the engine in the OP

[Human Person]

Wait. How does this work?

 Whenever I try building just a simple moving axis, I emediately summon the Kraken.

Thank you @SQUAD for making the mono RCS and thank you @sgt_flyer for figuring out you can make bearings with them.
