  Re: My tribute to my first Technic Set
 
(...) This feature is the ultimate peeron feature and is always the example I give people to demonstrate the condition the LEGO online community has reached (and to watch their mouth drop :-). Two small notes: (that's for you Dan) 1) In my case I (...) (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.technic, lugnet.inv)
 
  Re: My tribute to my first Technic Set
 
(...) Thanks for the info Dan! Never had an account at Peerin before--just set one up and am now good togo! I have extra treads if you need 'em--bought 13 service packs years ago when I was endeavouring to build a tank. Dave K (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: My tribute to my first Technic Set
 
(...) Just as an aside - if you have your set list entered on lugnet, or on Peeron, you can find out if you have the parts for the bulldozer: (URL) myself, I seem to have all the parts except the treads :) (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: My tribute to my first Technic Set
 
(...) Are you bringing these to the show? I'd like to see the bulldozer, having wanted one when i was a kid. I probably have all the parts to build one now, but that's not the same as having the actual set, and I'd like to see one that's together. (...)

(...) That much is certain. They look a little nekkid without the number. I have a label maker at work and I'll get the numbers printed off just as soon as I get there.

(...) I love your modified 8448--that's a pretty big engine on the thing--as well with the fibre optics--nice touch! I couldn't keep the engine in the 8448 attached to the drive train after the modifications for RC'ing. So when the car moves around, (...) (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Very nice work! 854 was also my first technic set! When I first saw your "Marie" doll/figure I had to have one myself. That was almost 2 years ago! She is still in my modified 8448. Nice couch.

  My tribute to my first Technic Set
 
(URL) was having an unusual wave of nostalgia the other day and put together the first auto chassis--956. Having completed this, I found myself thinking about the first Technic set I received when I was a kid--set 854. So I put that one together as (...)

  Re: Buying pneumatics??

I am starting a rather large project that requires large numbers of pneumatics. I have been trying to find places where i can buy them seperatly or in cheap sets. Bricklinks prices are terribly high for just one piston. Does anyone know where to (...) (20 years ago, 21-Oct-04, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: Telehandler

  Re: Telehandler
 
The steering works best if the entire vehicle is in motion (like a car without power steering). Since it is turning all 4 wheels, more torque must be exerted to turn the steering ball than if 2 wheels were being turned. Another issue is the weight. (...)
