After I saw the rest of the building instruction, I'm totally doubting.

I never saw a so badly drawn building instruction! Compare the wheels in the
steps three and four.

Looks really like drawn by hand. But that's a fact which makes me believe in
that instruction even more.

Or the white 2x3x0.33 plates in step seven: even in the idea books there are no
such low quality drawings.

But where's the battery box? At least there's a way for the cables to the motor
contacts.

I'm really confused about that building instruction and have never seen
somthing similar before....

Regards,

Ben

(...) Hi ++Lar, to be honest, the doubt on the 371 plan was first uttered by Arne Hackstein, one of the most profund experts on all kind of old Lego® sets. Whenever I have a really tricky problem, he's the one to solve it. Regards, Ben (25 years ago, 17-May-00, to lugnet.general)
