Larry... What parts are you looking for from the 8437? I only have 1 but don't nearly all the parts. Fred... There are 4 yellow "A" arms in the 8437. Warning about the flex link w/the ball joints on the end. DO NOT let a 5yr old hold a completed car (...) (26 years ago, 23-Dec-98, to lugnet.build)

(...) Yep! That's what I did on the X1/9. I should probably write some more descriptive text under the X1/9, since I've gotten a couple of questions on that one. The 8440 has rigid axles, as you've observed, but it still has the pieces needed to (...) (26 years ago, 23-Dec-98, to lugnet.build)
