Have you tried a micromotor? I have not tried to motorize my car yet, but that is what I will use for steering. The steering is stiff at the rack on this car and will need some loosening. The micromotor will stall if the load is too great preventing (...) (25 years ago, 8-Aug-99, to lugnet.build)

(...) Do you have one of the white "slip-clutch" gears? That might come in useful. (25 years ago, 8-Aug-99, to lugnet.build)

Has anyone used a motor to steer the new 8448? HOW?? I put the RCX in the trunk as everybody pointed out you could do. Then I tore off most of the body decorative pieces to make room to put in a motor to steer the car, so I can use sensors to keep (...) (25 years ago, 8-Aug-99, to lugnet.build)

Recieved mine on the 4th. It is simply incredible. One thing I really liked was that if you put a motor in it, you can make it run. Also, I put my Mindstorm RCX in the trunk(it slots in way too easily, as though it was meant too) and ran a wire to (...) (25 years ago, 8-Aug-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)

I don't intend to fight over Lego with my future kids. Every single brick they get goes straight to daddy. Dead simple. I'll let family & friends know all my kids want for their birthdays is Lego. And I'll handle their want lists as well. :) If (...) (25 years ago, 7-Aug-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)

I received the 8880 early this week and finished it over a couple of days. It is an awesome model to build. I changed a couple of small things I did not like. Then the 8448 showed up and I started it. I have the chassis finished and only the (...) (25 years ago, 7-Aug-99, to lugnet.build)

Actually, the day I ordered, it came out to $85 each. Unfortunately, shipping on 2 of them and a few small Paradisa sets was near $70! Still, at $115 brand new including shipping, it beats getting them at auction. Since I already have 2, 1 for each (...) (25 years ago, 7-Aug-99, to lugnet.build)

Hands down, I'd get the 8880. Simply because before too long, you will ONLY be able to get them at auction, and prices will skyrocket even more than they occasionally do. You can buy the 8448 for a least the next year. Get an 8880 from DYA now, and (...) (25 years ago, 7-Aug-99, to lugnet.build)

This discussion of the 8880 and 8448 Super Cars has been great. I don't own either yet, and find it difficult to decide between buying the older 8880 at auction or the 8448 new. For those familiar with both, if you had choose between one or the (...) (25 years ago, 7-Aug-99, to lugnet.build)
