Has anyone else noticed that the 1999 Technic line is extrordinaraly good? Just about every set has a good design and lots of useful new pieces. Not since the space shuttle in 1996 has there been a technic set I actually wanted to own, now they're (...) (25 years ago, 8-Aug-99, to lugnet.build)

Here is my attempt to steer the 8448 Street Sensation. It seems to work quite well. The road clearance is reduced to one tile thickness. (URL) Fay rfay@we.mediaone.net The Shop (URL) (25 years ago, 8-Aug-99, to lugnet.build)

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)

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)

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)
