Fred... There are 4 yellow "A" arms in the 8437.

Ah, but they're not the kind which can tilt in the end opposite to the
ball joint, right?  The ones on the 8437 are basically a 2x1 plate with
an A-arm and a ball joint?  I'm sorry to say that it's probably hard to
make independent front suspension using those A-arms.  The ones supplied
with the 8858 Rebel Wrecker are of a different kind which are connected
to the chassis with an axle in the driving direction.  Four of those are
also supplied with the 8440 set, and two yellow ones in the Cyber Slam
set, which number escapes me at the moment, and I'm too lazy to look it
up.  But it's in the previous articles...

A Merry Christmas to those of you with a religion in which that applies!
Happy building, and may your Christmas presents be hard and boxy and ratteling!

Fredrik

(...) This may not be very compact, but mount them on a 2x2 plate with technic pin holes underneath, and you'd get the up/down motion, no? (26 years ago, 24-Dec-98, to lugnet.build)

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)
