(...) Both the front and rear have air suspension. If those pumps are hooked up to an air tank, you could create a really interesting suspension system. I also really like the way the rear wheels use three control arms on the 8466's suspension. Nice (...) (21 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.technic)

hi guys, I'm one of the part-authors at LDraw and recently I found these two brickshelf sites (URL) renderings which use the Black Cat Tyre/Wheel 68.8 x 24 S (32004.dat, 32003.dat). both parts where designed by "GONTA" and it was quite a puzzle to (...) (21 years ago, 14-Mar-04, to lugnet.technic)
