(...) By starter set in this context I mean a set that contains enough of the parts to be really useful in building MOCs rather than a "first" set or the like. 4 motors are better than 2 motors in this context, but the dino looks interesting too. (...) (17 years ago, 15-Aug-07, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I'm with John on this one - I ended up grabbing the Dino because it was cheaper, and I could at least get experience with the new motors and control system (which I *think* I like... it's been hard to experiment a lot since my kids won't let (...) (17 years ago, 14-Aug-07, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Wow, you call a $150 USD set a "starter" set???!!! I think I want your LEGO budget! ;) All kidding aside, like ROSCO said, if you want to get into the new motors & RC units, I think the dino is a better intro set, but there do seem to be lots (...) (17 years ago, 14-Aug-07, to lugnet.technic)

(...) It's hard to tell from that picture, but pause the video and you'll see the balls run up at a 6-stud spacing. That means the peaks of the wave are six studs apart. The cams are spaced with one pulley plus a half bush, so are spaced exactly one (...) (17 years ago, 14-Aug-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) [LEGOSet 4958] Actually, the new Dino set (not available here yet either) looks like a good source for the new RC items, I was more looking forward to a bulk source of the new tread links, and the bigger sprockets. ROSCO (17 years ago, 13-Aug-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) Speaking of remorseless shameless copying, I spent an hour and half last night trying to build the crankshaft. I can't figure out the pattern those pulley wheels are using, especially how much space is between them. It doesn't look like the (...) (17 years ago, 13-Aug-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) Anyone have any idea whether this set will be sold in Australia? I was kind of expecting it to be sold here as it's really a starter set for the new remote and motors. If it's not, we miss out entirely on the new items. Thanks (17 years ago, 13-Aug-07, to lugnet.technic)

This is just too great to have any remorse shamelessly copying :-/ I wonder if regular cams (6575) might work too, I (...) (17 years ago, 12-Aug-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
