| | | | | (...) WHOOO...OOOSH!!! :) Wow, how cool is that? Great use of the racer tracks and the engine/wheel design. It does go a little too fast for a bus. Maybe some gear reduction would help slow it down. Either that, or we should call it an "MTV" (Moon (...) (19 years ago, 26-Sep-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) Thanks for the comments! That's really funny that you mentioned MTV. I was thinking it should be called that too. Soren came up with Moonbus. Ha. I like 'em both. (19 years ago, 26-Sep-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | Neat-o! I was checking this out last night on Brickshelf. (heading over to Zemi.net) I was thinking, if there was a nifty compact way to add a polarity reversor x2, (with spring or rubber band) so when the bus hit a dead end, it could automatically (...)

| | | | | | (...) Yeah that would be great. I built it to only fulfill a couple of goals: be small and go. But I could easily see some modifications like that. Thanks for the input! (19 years ago, 26-Sep-05, to lugnet.space)

| | | | | A neat MOC, somehting about it gives off the 'natural but slightly differentness'I associate with good space MOCs. Very good work. God Bless, Nathan Visit my brickshelf gallery: (URL) (pic=link) (19 years ago, 27-Sep-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | (...) Very nice! I liked this before, and even better now that I can see how you did it. I'll have to build this for myself very soon (if for no other reason than to see how well the chain works over two 8t gears). (...) I think automated lunar (...)

| | | | (...) I saw it yesterday and build it asap ;) Great 4WD vehicle! I've only replaced the two "3647 - Technic Gear 8 Tooth" with "4265c - Technic Bush 1/2 Smooth" and used the white rubber band. That makes less noise, let the bus drives more smoothly (...)
