(...) My friends and I noticed this as well with a copy of 8420 that we opened up. I find the action a bit odd (it behaves something like a retractable ball-point pen), but wondered if there was some justification based on a more diverse use of the (...) (19 years ago, 5-Jul-05, to lugnet.technic)

Greetings and Salutations! Having recently purchased two of these 8420 sets for the new wheels and the new tension adjustable shocks, I was checking out the travel and adjustable spring tension when I noticed the shock locking into a half extended (...) (19 years ago, 5-Jul-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I received mine Monday after ordering from Amazon.com. (Peeron RSS feeds rock!) I just completed it, and I pretty much agree with others' impressions here. The box is cool and huge, but I also didn't like having to tear it to open it. Like (...) (19 years ago, 2-Jul-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I will make an assumption (not always a good idea) and say the 2 unused cylinder retract ports should be hooked together with 2 legs of a Tee, then the third leg of the Tee attaced to the unused port on the pneumatic switch. Every other (...) (19 years ago, 2-Jul-05, to lugnet.technic)
