I have to add that if you can afford the Super Street senestion it is a
great accessory. First the car is really fun to build, second, the double
bevel gears are better than putting two bevel gears together for the same
thing. i have found that lots of things have better gear meshings with the
double bevel gears than with the 15t gears or anythign else. plus after two
years i still haven't completely dismantled the gearbox it is a great
exercise in elegance.
unlimate excesories kit is really good for the reasons that others have said
but i try not to use rotation sensors for the problems listed by others.
That said, i am going to get two of the pneumatics kits [finally after
silently cursing all of you that have had them for a while] and at least one
of the ultimate builders kits. Although if you can get a space shuttle kit
that is the best with parts that youget. plus you get all of those nice and
clean white beams which makes it easier to make R2D2.
