I’m probably going to get shot for this, but I think ZNAP was ahead of its time, and that it might be resurrected as a building system for bigger creations....

Like this?

I prefer this one:

the other one shows me. I prefer to show just my work.


I can add to the discussion about the ‘oldest Technic piece still in production’:

The axles.

Assuming you aren’t counting the ‘improved versions’ of the ‘pre-Technic’ U-joint: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=9244a

or bushing: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=bushpw1 that are being made today.

The first ‘Technic’ brick (other than the 2x4 shown earlier) was hidden in a couple models (holding the milky white axles): http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=3700b But, it was never released into a ‘Technic’ set.

Of course, that reminds me of this piece (that was on the ends of those milky-white axles) which is pretty much unchanged from 30 years ago:

My reference for the axle, bushing, brick, wheel (and tire) was one of my earliest sets:
