As I said before, I am not sure if they still do this. You won't find them
on shop at home as they are not there. You have to specifically ask if they
have some for sale. If they do then you have to send them a cheque or postal
order or something.

It will run fine on one but this one is running off two to give extra power
and speed. However if you are going to do somthing similar then I don't
recommend the 4x4 system from the 8880 as there is alot of friction and you
need way more motors. As for the 8466 I don't know, but the possibilities
look promising. I had to create a drive and steering system from scratch to
cut down on friction. To include a suspention linkage to this part of the
modle would make it too wide and weaken it, this is another reason for using
live axles If I get time I will re-build the front axle and post some
pictures of it on brickshelf
PS I've only just realised that I've spelt splendid as slendid in the
subject title ( doh! )
