It is nice to see, that with LEGO you can make a sportscar in any scale you want. It looks like your car has the same features as my GTcar.. (I saw in the topic of the 'unknown instruction book' you already noticed it. ;)) I think the result of your (...) (22 years ago, 23-Mar-03, to lugnet.technic)

Hi all, I just built my 8854 power crane. Bought it used, although all the parts were perfect. Now, of course I'm gonna compare it to 8431 since it's the first technic crane I ever built. If you build it properly, 8431's winch is extremely smooth, (...) (22 years ago, 23-Mar-03, to lugnet.technic)

Very nice car. Since it's small, it must be pretty fast when motorized. Is there a place to add a motor? Or it's already there and I haven't noticed it? (22 years ago, 23-Mar-03, to lugnet.technic)
