Here are some short answers, for now.. (...) no. (...) I didn't disclose anything while I worked for TLC (1996-1999), but it's not a secret anymore. I worked for R&D. LEGO Futura, Boston office.

I would also like to get more official info on this, but by inspection and from what they have made in the past, it is almost certainly a one-piece receiver, battery pack, drive-and-steer motor combo.

Dear Jake, Brad and other TLC representatives, I just noticed that Model Team has now completely disappeared from the s@h site. I just wonder why... I can understand that after all the trucks and other cars (okay, there was a boat and a helicopter (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jun-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.modelteam)

(...) Interesting. I bought about 60 silver buckets/tubs and one of them gave me a light-grey 2x4 instead of a chrome one. It appeared in every way identicle to my other bricks. This was some years (and two house moves) ago so I'd have to do a lot (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jun-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

Jake, Since it is available for order now, can you give us more info on it? It says 2 motors - one to drive, one to steer, or does it rely on power to rear right and rear left motors to steer? How large is the receiver in the car? (...) -- Tom (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jun-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) Drat! It must be really difficult sometimes to operate under such strict guidelines. Seems kinda silly that the Lego powers that be won't allow such a general question to be answered.
