I think that you should go take a look at www.peeron.com, and do searches for "8458" and "8461", and compare. I own neither of these models, but I still think the similarity is about 95%... (...) And this is a very good thing. the silver champion (...) (22 years ago, 16-Sep-02, to lugnet.technic)

The panels are actually different parts, not just different colors. And the rear spoiler is different (uses tiles rather than panels). And for those who didn't buy the silver champion because we're poor (such as myself), the price is different. :-) (...) (22 years ago, 15-Sep-02, to lugnet.technic)

Compare the instruction manuals. Identical except for the different colored panels. Anyone having the 8458 Silver Champion already will be disappointed. Why doesn't Lego come out with some new Technic models. (22 years ago, 15-Sep-02, to lugnet.technic)

Try www.crash.net for any motor racing news. You don't miss much in the races. Find out the qualifying positions, that's usually pretty close to the 60-odd full speed parade laps that pass for a F1 race these days. Next round should be okay for you (...) (22 years ago, 14-Sep-02, to lugnet.technic)

It seems they are molded: if you look closely, there is a very thin line along the axle where halves of the mold join. The injection point is at one end. I suspect (but I'm not sure) that actually the mold has 4 parts, two for the axle itself, two (...) (22 years ago, 14-Sep-02, to lugnet.technic)

Speaking of the axles does anyone have any idea if LEGO make them with an extrusion mold or if they actually injection-mold each axle out of individual injection molds? If there's one part that's practically designed for extrusion molding techniques (...) (22 years ago, 14-Sep-02, to lugnet.technic)

I need something which will dislodge the 2x3 and 2x4 bricks from the treads found in Technic set 8257 - I need a means to pop them off without the use of excessive or damaging force. The primary use of this hopper is so that I can rapidly and easily (...) (22 years ago, 14-Sep-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic)

I'd estimate 95% of sets I buy are for their parts content. I build the other 5% as an educational experience - it's important to find out what the Lego designers intend some of the newer parts to be used for - and I think I keep 1% intact. (Warning (...)
