I used three sets of treaded chain links and 1x10 plates to make the tracks for a couple models.

I'm enough of a purist that I wouldn't ust non-lego treads, atleast I wouldn't go searching / buying a set. I am considering using a low temp glue gun to hold the 1x4 plates on.

Hi there, I still don't manage to send any packages from the rcx to the PC. I attached the client and the "receiver program" and here is a fragment of the lnpd log: 148032:Client > connection 1 from host 127.0.0.1, port 33485 148039:Logical > (...) (23 years ago, 3-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
