The Technic Space Shuttle 8480 is a superb parts package, so good in fact

folks is that the large motor supplied is an old style 9V one. The smaller one
is a "micromotor"; I generally can put both to good use. The CyberSlam 8266,
whilst appearing somewhat dodgy at first, is also excellent if you can get one
or two cheap, as they contain a "Mindstorms" motor and loads of other useful
parts.
None of these contain the clutch, however.
