(...) The Bionicle 8558 Cahdok and Gahdok set has 22 of these, but in WHITE! Since the set retails for $60, it's more expensive on a $$/pin ratio. But considering that it contains 630 pieces, it works out to less than 10 cents per piece. It also has (...) (22 years ago, 3-Oct-02, to lugnet.technic)

I have a couple thoughts about this. I think someone said they tried to put a single motor into the 8466, using the gearbox, and that didn't work. Someone else put the 8475 motors (2 motors) into the same model with success. Two motors are better (...) (22 years ago, 2-Oct-02, to lugnet.technic)

i'm confused. I have read that if you were to gear the 8475 motor down to the same speed as the mindstorm motors, they are LESS powerful. I have also saw somone motorise the 8466 without any gearing down using the 8475 motors, successfully. Now if (...) (22 years ago, 2-Oct-02, to lugnet.technic)
