| | | | | (...) Wow! way nifty! Another BRE masterpiece. I hope you add some detail on the planetary gearing on the driven axles... (21 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.technic)

| | | | | | (...) Thx Lar! But the planetary gearing isn't really there (neither are the axles actually driven!) - I just put that there to explain the larger hubs on those axles! ROSCO (21 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.technic)

| | | | | Hey that's terrific! Check out how high the boom goes! I like the little trailer to help hold it too. I like how you used those steering systems. Gotta love the pink seats!

But why didn't you use real drive and suspension, bet you could have fit some RC from HiTechnic in there aswell :) The stickers look OK from here, and they lead me to explore the (...)
