(...) Hi Dave, I really liked what you did with those big cars. RC is the only thing I missed in these cars and to be honest in my own big Lego model cars too. I would love to have my GTcar ((URL) motorised and RC controlled, but I don't know if it (...) (22 years ago, 2-May-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)

That set has been, IMHO, (next to the 8431 Crane Truck re-issue) the best "really big" technic set in recent years (mindstorms doesnt count as technic) The 8466 has so many good attributes: 1.a fair few studded beams, including the (exclusive to (...)
