I recieved the Fall 2002 S&H catalog a few days ago and was browsing through the Technic section, and there were a few things that caught my attention. More specifically, the 8472 Mud 'n' Street Racer and the 8475 RC Race Buggy look interesting. I (...) (22 years ago, 14-Dec-02, to lugnet.technic)

Just search for 8475 anywhere on Amazon. Note - find some cheap toys to get it over $99 for free shipping.

(...) Thanks! It's a very solid model. I'm often surprized at how well it stays together. I can pic it up (fully assembled) at the base, and move it around easily.

I need help in designing a motor-driven hammer for my RCX Tank Base Two. The hammer should be forced down to create a greater impact than that as if it were simply dropped.
