Well, my 7317 arrived yesterday; had it built by late last night, here goes my review: There are 706 pieces, including: 16 3x1 Purple slopes, 5 Martians (Rigel, Cassiopeia, Arctures, Mizar and Vega) 3 Molded sleds (2 black, 1 glow-in-the-dark) for (...)

Yeah i noticed there is a lot of binding in the drivetrain. It seems to be caused by the Perpendicular Axle joiner that is placed in between the bottom suspension arm on the same axle as the bottom of the shocks.. The shocks are also a bit too long. (...)

Yep. The 8880 is a truly awesome set. I just wish I could find some replacement parts to fix mine : ( Whatever you do, don't let those ultra-rare suspension parts out of your sight ! The only way to get more is to buy another supercar, since parting (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.reviews, lugnet.technic)

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 (...)

(...) Yeah I also like this model. The only probably I had with the drivetrain is that it's hard to motorize, but other than that it is quite innovative. And yeah, this set comes with tons of beams (I think the only set that might rival it in beam (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.reviews, lugnet.technic)

(...) I agree - to a point. I was disappointed with the chain drive to the engine, as it occasionally slips, though this can be reduced. The main thing that disappointed me was the steering geometry. Because the racks are psitioned relatively high, (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jan-01, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.reviews, lugnet.technic)

(...) Totally agreed, Jason. I also recommend the 8868 AirTech Claw Rig as a pleasant diversion. Expensive and difficult to find, but a wonderful feat of Technic engineering. It has an on-board air compressor! - Sean (24 years ago, 17-Jan-01, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.reviews, lugnet.technic)

Well after approximately 5 hours, I just finished building my recently acquired 8880 Supercar, and frankly it lives up to the hype... Very good working features, drivetrain is quite remarkable. The best part is the number of beams and other useful (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jan-01, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.reviews, lugnet.technic)

I bought three LOOM sets today, 7313, 7311, and 7314. I love these things! The martians look really cute, my favourite is Antares (in 7314). Of the mecha, the 7314 is the best one, I think. It has arms, and can move them up and down. 7313 has those (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jan-01, to lugnet.reviews)
