Purple Dave's utterance expressed in news:HHDCI2.1ooq@lugnet.com:

     I guess that truly answers the original question, though the
     Manas drive
unit is a lot cheaper to get right now, if you live near a TRU that's
doing the blow-out sales at least ($30 for two)

Yeah - they have also been on clearance at s@h here in Danmark.

     Now the question is, does your RCX Hailfire have a wire
     connecting it to
your computer, or can you operate it untethered?  If not, that would
be another advantage of using the Manas drive units, since they're
both radio controlled.

I use a remote control to steer it around. Right now I'm playing around
with the RC Buggy motors to control the Hailfire, but the receiver is
just so darn big  :(

I have just uploaded some pictures to brickshelf:

As you can probably see, there is not much room underneath the RCX,
but I haven't tried to hide it - just wanted to drive the Hailfire!

Play along!
