(...) Hi Jennifer. Yes, they are caterpillar tracks. The 8880 tires were not the correct shape to be telehandler tires, and wrapping the tracks around them was the only way to make them taller and narrower. I think real ones are 4-5ft in diameter. I (...) (20 years ago, 9-Nov-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) May I ask why is this bad? They probably modelled the suspension after some real sets which saved them a lot of brain juice. And I think there are real trucks (actually buses) that use independent front suspension. Keith (20 years ago, 7-Nov-04, to lugnet.technic)

New pics of the telehandler are available. Are they satisfactory? The Bimba piston fits well, except there is so much weight while under load that the crab steering does not work very well. Eventually the boom will need more height. The tractor (...) (20 years ago, 6-Nov-04, to lugnet.technic)

Hi Anders, It's a very nice model. It's very life like because you've added lots of details. And the opening doors are a nice detail as well. Now you can have a good look into the driver's cab.

(...) I really like these, Lars. Perhaps the black bike needs the front forks at a greater angle to increase the wheelbase? Otherwise, it's close, but too square as you mentioned. Still a great model, though. Thanks for sharing, Ed (20 years ago, 4-Nov-04, to lugnet.technic)

Not that it's a huge issue, but the instruction book for 8602 has a 'comic' in the back--Toa Nuju and Toa Nokama names are switched for their 'mugshot'.
