I've got an updated and now compleded .ldr file of the car. (except that the .ldr model doesn't have any wheels yet...ahh well, just imagine the 8880 wheels on it :) ) It's got a revised gearbox layout that uses one gear less than before, but has (...) (22 years ago, 16-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

Look at (URL) compare it to the copy of 8454 you saved when you viewed the pictures on the Marz site. Two things stayed the same: 8 wheels, and it's still a fire truck. Gone is the strange green color, the cabin is different, panelling, steering... (...) (22 years ago, 16-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

| | Update: More Speeds in 8448/8466 Gearbox?
|

When looking at my 8466 model more closely, I came across the 4 speed 8880 gearbox that I put in front of the 8466 5 speed+R gearbox as a transfer case, making 20 speeds. I considered placing this setup in my 8448 rally car. But I thought that it (...) (22 years ago, 16-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)
