(...) Wait up a bit Johnathan. Can you define what you mean by worst? Possible inferences could be: 1 - Least use in building MOCs 2 - Least representative of the real world version 3 - Most irritatingly common but no real help in building 4 - Most (...) (23 years ago, 18-Jun-01, to lugnet.general)

(...) Defining what we mean exactly is a good idea. The list of the worst parts must include the Technic motorcycle steering boss. A 2x2 brick with a protruding arm with the end cranked at an angle. How could you EVER find a use for it. It's also (...) (23 years ago, 18-Jun-01, to lugnet.general)

1. I agree about that "Steering Boss" Evan I have tried to find a use for it! 2. I'm not a big fan of those corrogated tubbing either. 3. Those Fin plates like in the Red Technic Super Car 4. ummmm.... 5. eeerrrr...i dunno Eric (...) (23 years ago, 18-Jun-01, to lugnet.general)

Those 2-bend angle beams would, IMHO, be a LOT more useful if they were shortened so that one half of it is an exact mirror image of the other half. It'd make a great-looking grader blade, as it is it'd be a bit tall on one side, making the curve (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.general)
