How long has this kit existed? It looks amazing! I don't think it has been discussed on Lugnet yet. Like the TLC Enzo, it does not look like it has any shocks or transmission, but from these pictures it is hard to tell. (URL) me it has a closer (...) (17 years ago, 4-Apr-07, to lugnet.technic)

(...) It looks very big. The wire-triggered air intake on top of the engine is the best part. I don't know much about dragsters, and wanted to know why the swingarms for the front steering are not exactly vertical. Does this help it stick to the (...) (17 years ago, 3-Apr-07, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Salut Jean-Marc, Sincèrement j'hésites entre "en rire" et "en pleurer". (c'est assez bien écrit) Les chevilles bleues ou tan ne me seraient pas insupportables si elles n'étaient pas devenues la norme. Un changement de couleurs des roues (...) (17 years ago, 2-Apr-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

In order to further ease building of the Technic range of sets, the LEGO company will start using different colors to produce the different gear wheels according to their size. (URL) the full article> Jean-Marc (17 years ago, 1-Apr-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

If the cars are tipping in the corners, you could try using thin Technic tubing (the stuff that can clip into a minifig hand) to build guard rails. I also use that stuff very (...)

(...) It was designed to be modular - each section is 16x16, and drops either 2 bricks (straight) or 4 bricks (corner). I carried it all in flight luggage, each part wrapped in tight cling-film (plastic food wrap) and I'm amazed the curves held (...) (18 years ago, 29-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) When my parents gave me this book in the mid 80s I wanted to build this truck. Just like you I only had the 8860 car chassis and I bought a used 8859 in ´95. But in the second half of the 80s I used the boogie lift for two of my truck models (...) (18 years ago, 29-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) It's a neat design, and I like the idea of using monorail track to do smooth loops. 4ft is a hell of a lift to make out of LEGO though! I'd be happy with something smaller, even if it meant going without the loop. Have you thought of fitting (...) (18 years ago, 29-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

I have designed a minifig-scale roller coaster that can run on standard monorail track. Each car can carry up to four minifigs around a loop, and the cars can run independently or linked in pairs.

Every GBC should have one of those! In the video what is that wavy red thing (...) (18 years ago, 29-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

I thought about that when you said so before, but then I thought it was better to keep the tracks rigid, otherwise the tension might vary in the round ends, requiring good control of the tracks on the straight part.
