Can't remember the exact details, but when I had a look at both in the Technic/Mindstorms shop in Billund earlier this summer I was definitely more impressed with the Supersonic one. Duq "John Guerquin" <jguerquin@sympatico.ca> wrote in message (...) (21 years ago, 18-Sep-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I can confirm this, since I have the 8475, and I've also examined the 8366 in person. The motors, R/C receiver and transmitter are identical. The 8475 has four wheel independent suspension, and uses some specialized front suspension components (...) (21 years ago, 17-Sep-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I have the (older) RC Race Buggy (8475) and was playing with the Supersonic RC (8366) in the Kingston Lego shop this weekend. As far as I could tell the RC components and motors are identical (although I didn't take the shop display model (...) (21 years ago, 17-Sep-03, to lugnet.technic)

There appear to be two RC vehicles available at the moment, the "RC Race Buggy" (8475) and the "Supersonic RC" (8366). I assume both have the same electronics and motors, but 8366 has not made it onto peeron yet so I can't verify this. Can anyone (...) (21 years ago, 17-Sep-03, to lugnet.technic)

Quite an impressing system Huw! I'd like a more detailed write-up on it, if time permits. (21 years ago, 16-Sep-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains)

Before anything else, thank you for the reply! In these past few days I've gone out of my mind trying to figure out alternative designs for the discharge mechanism, but as ideas get harder and harder to pop all the input is welcome. (...) I (...)

(...) I believe your x455 piece is correct. The 661 inventory on Peeron was copied from the 456 inventory. The latter set is 1977, the former 1976. I don't think the change in that technic brick was noted when the copy was made. All of the sets from (...) (21 years ago, 16-Sep-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.town, FTX)

Pedro, I have experimented with many different mechanisms for auto-discharging hoppers, although none have been like the one you describe. I have tried ones with levers that are moved up and down as the wagon passes a trackside mechanism, and while (...) (21 years ago, 15-Sep-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains)

Recently I got a 661 (European nr) Spirit of St. Louis. When comparing the parts with Peeron (URL) I noticed a difference in pieces. It's about the two black 1 x 2 bricks with hole. Peeron says these are 3700 (URL) Mine came with x455 (URL) Cause my (...) (21 years ago, 15-Sep-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.town)
