yup, and the 2nd design on there (my dad's design) doesn't require

3 length axles (cut up a 6 length axle), since they didn't exist
yet.

*shudder* Despite my not-quite-purist's outlook, cutting Legos up if the
thing you make are already available otherwise just freaks me out :)

well, I just recently ordered some Service sets: 2 gear sets, 2 small
beam sets, 2 axle sets, and two "connection-elements" sets: I really
needed a few more differentials, and I figured I was paying shipping
anyway :)

So now I have 4 #5 axles, and 8 each of the 1*1 w/hole and 1*2 w/2
holes, some extra friction pegs & bushings & such, All of which I'm
quite happy with. But why does the gears set include _four_ 1*4 rack
gear plates? I already had 12 or so I never used, so now I'll be in 20+.
Not counting the 4 from supercar :)
