(...) In Lego's defense, I will offer my observations. The 8369 is a 7.2 volt RC car meant for use outdoors. It is Lego's way of competing with the flooded RC car market for the summer. It comes with a 7.2v NiCad battery and charger and will (...) (20 years ago, 29-Jun-04, to lugnet.technic)

Hello, Why is it that tan axle pins (found in 2003 and later Technic sets) seem much weaker than 2002-and-before gray axle pins? For instance, look at the 8455 Backhoe Loader and 4404 Land Busters - the wheels are VERY easy to come off due to them (...) (20 years ago, 29-Jun-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.technic)

Yes, it is best to have the option of using either method where appropriate... presumably it is still possible to get sets with the traditional Technic beams etc. What would be a good currently available set for this? Jennifer (20 years ago, 29-Jun-04, to lugnet.technic)
