Made by a person named "heikoraack". Thought Lugnet folks might want to see this. (URL) nice to see my favorite kind of wheels (20x30 solid) in a MOC :) (21 years ago, 18-Jan-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) The C-3PO, Stormtrooper, and Jango Fett TECHNIC sets all use 1x2 (2-hole) or 1x1 bricks to attach basic LEGO pieces to the otherwise TECHNIC assembly. The R2-D2 set uses a 1-hole 1x2 as a spacer between two assemblies. The closest I can (...) (21 years ago, 17-Jan-04, to lugnet.technic)

I believe it's so you don't have to align the front wheels. There's only one way the part can go in and the wheels will be correctly aligned. (21 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.technic)
