(...) 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)

Hey all. I just bought 6453 Com-Link Cruiser. Something about it yells "THIS is what you wanted for that monorail design!" Okay, great.
