The CV's on a car are a little more complicated but work pretty much the same way as the LEGO(R) ones. BTW, CV stands for constant velocity. (...)

| (...) The 8880 is definitely one of the great sets, apart from the chain. I agree that the chain slips (quite often I find) but my main objection to the chain is simply my feeling that it should not be there at all. How many cars really have a chain (...)

And yeah, this set comes with tons of beams (I think the only set that might rival it in beam (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.reviews, lugnet.technic)
