(...) 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.

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)

(...) 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.

Just a follow-up: the .ldr files and some aditional info can be found in the link below. (URL) appears by now that the mechanism works, but that it requires some tuning. If you can help with it, don't hesitate! :-) Pedro (21 years ago, 14-Sep-03, to lugnet.technic)

The catalog code to get the discounted price is H3101. The only problem is, then you do NOT qualify for the free shipping offer, even if you tack on a little set or two to bump it up over the $99 mark (I tried it). Shipping $75.01-$125.00 is $8.95, (...) (21 years ago, 13-Sep-03, to lugnet.technic)
