| | | (URL) had this model finished for a long time now, but I finally got around to creating and uploading a few webpages for it. My final maximum pull is still 6.5 pounds (2.95 kg). So, Steve Lane still holds the record for maximum pull (4.5 kg, if I (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jan-02, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam)

| | | | | Great model! I am very impressed with the pneumatic steering. That had to be a real challenge. I will surely use your idea of beefing up the ends of the U joints. That was good thinking. Your presentation of this model is excellent. -- Bob Fay THE (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jan-02, to lugnet.technic)

I've even used superglue before, but that's a little permanent. (...) Thanks for your compliments. TJ (23 years ago, 21-Jan-02, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | | Looks very good indeed. My compliments! As my latest wrecker are closing in, I think I will try to compete with yours (Steven and you) at the pulling thing. But I recon I wont be near 3kg! But I will give it a try anyway. Since your wheelbase are so (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jan-02, to lugnet.technic)

It feels like it's pulling more than 3 kg. The tractor is too compact. It's nearly solid (...) (23 years ago, 21-Jan-02, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | | | | | That's cool, but not really the same thing. Pulling a 12kg object with wheels under it (like you're Garbage Truck ) requires some amount of force, but it is *much* less than lifting that same 12kg in an arrangement like the one that Thomas used to (...)
