You inspired me to tinker a bit, but I am still unsuccessful. Putting gears around the z24 to help stabilize it is problematic because, at standard LEGO distances, there is sufficient space between the gears to allow the z24 (and the prop axle) to (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

I have this part (from <set:8855>) and I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to power it to any significant speed. The problem is that the prop and z24 gear are permanently molded to a 3L axle which goes through a 1x4 Technic beam. Having only one (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) That's the problem with this part, it only came in <set:8855>, although it was availible as a service pack once. A friend of mine had this set when he was a youngster, perhaps he's willing to sell it to me, I've been meaning to ask him but (...) (22 years ago, 6-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)
