(...) I'm sorry to say that I don't think that having the manual itself is going to help much. The 8466 achieves 4wd and steering by using some very specialized parts. You can't easily achieve the same effect using elements from other sets. Fredrik (22 years ago, 8-Sep-02, to lugnet.technic)

The 8466 also does this. Actually, the 8466 does pretty much everything the 8880 does except four wheel steering, and that's easily solved. (just extend the steering gear to the backwheels and mount the rack in front of the rear wheels, assuming the (...) (22 years ago, 7-Sep-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I don't thing tube stretch is a factor here. The pneumatic tubes do not expand very much at the normal pressures of Lego pnuematics. The tubes are relatively stiff. The volume comes from just the long length of tubing. (Think of a volume (...) (22 years ago, 6-Sep-02, to lugnet.technic)
