8475 RC Race Buggy – A quick initial review This is a 27 MHz remote control vehicle set. It isn’t called Technic, but it is primarily composed of Technic parts, some new, at least to me. The transmitter has two thumb control joy sticks, one up/down (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jul-02, to lugnet.technic)

I have to say -surprisingly, this looks like maybe TLC is getting more on track. This set seems to have much more potential than I expected. Not being able to pry this away from my 10 year old who was busily building, I had to wait until he went to (...) (22 years ago, 13-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic)

And if someone does take it upon themselves to snap pictures: I'd also love to see a sideview and topview comparison of the 8475 wheels with their off-road tires vs. the 8466/8458 wheels with their off-road tires, and the same comparisons using each (...)

Wow, thanks for the pics. I am absolutely _shocked_ at how much smaller the 8475 rims and wheels are. I thought they were maybe 2/3 to 3/4 the size of the 8466/8458 equivalents. I was totally fooled -- they are barely half the size. Impressive that (...) (22 years ago, 14-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic)

I'm pretty not happy with the steering centering myself. I can't get mine to center no matter what I do.

I'm not 100% certain, but I think the lights and siren parts from the town and space light and sound sets should work with this. Try set 6480 for a look at one of the sets. For parts on Bricklink, try: Lights: (URL) sets: (URL) look under electric, (...) (21 years ago, 4-Jan-03, to lugnet.technic)
