| | Technic set 8466 4x4 Off Roader available again in North America!
|
|
Hi all, I was surprised tonight to see that the 8466 set was available again at shop at home, it has been "sold out" for a quite long while now in Canada and USA. Enjoy! (22 years ago, 9-Feb-03, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.technic)

You guys are bound and determined to spend my whole weekend tinkering on this, aren't you? ;-) I reproduced Ross's setup using a gray peg, a black friction peg, and an old black friction peg. I still get what I consider pretty poor performance (with (...) (22 years ago, 8-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Nice design. Oh man, the design of the 24t gear at the back of this propeler is realy lame. That whole part is very un-legoish. 1) Perhaps you could use the old friction connector instead of the new one: i.e. part 4459 instead of part 2780. (...) (22 years ago, 8-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

The need for accessory packs is certainly justified. I'd be happy if we could just get the 4wd steering parts from the 8880. I think this would be a good start (and packs of studded beams of course). Steve (22 years ago, 8-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)

How about inserting the 24T gear into half a large turntable, and securing the other end of the turntable using axles. I know this gets very large where you don't want to get large, but it might provide stability in ways the other solutions do not. (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Have you considered using lubricant between the 1x 4 beam and axle? I know I did, many times, but never got around to do it. Do you think it might reduce the friction enough? (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

Yes, I had tried that. I was unable to prevent all the rotation at the friction pin, and even a small amount of movement there caused significant wobble/binding. Mark Haye "Ross Crawford" <rcrawford@csi.com> wrote in message (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) No, it only has one pin hole, and no axle holes. Why LEGO decided to do it that way I can't imagine - all previous sets (AFAIK) used the offset axle holes (present in the old 24t gears) to connect pistons, not the pin holes. IMO that part is a (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)
