(...) I haven't noticed that. However, I noticed that the new tan axle pins have a significantly weaker pin than the old gray ones. See how easily the wheels come off on the 4404, 8451, 8453... (20 years ago, 23-May-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Lessee, 5m tube vs. 5cm (or .05m) tube...I'd guess something approaching 100x as long? :) I'm guessing you meant to type something a little different there... Anyways, by my eye, the flex-system tube OD is roughly the same as the OD of the (...) (20 years ago, 22-May-04, to lugnet.technic)

I couldn't find an earlier post about this (though it might well be there) so I'm starting a new thread. I recently noticed that the grey axles (the odd-length ones in some recent sets like 8451 and 8453) have less friction than the black ones. It (...) (20 years ago, 22-May-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) The limiting factor with the speed of the model is composed of two things: 1. The total volume of air between the valve that is switched and the cylinders that were previously supplied before the valve was switched. 2. The rate of supply of (...) (20 years ago, 22-May-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Yeah, air tanks on a compressor are really only useful when you're using short bursts of more air than the compressor can keep up with (so you need a reservoir to draw from to keep pressure up through each burst) or you're using way less than (...) (20 years ago, 21-May-04, to lugnet.technic)
