(...) Thanks for all the feedback. I was unable to post lately due to the fact that I am back in college and adjusting to that. It sounds like there are no TLC wheels that allow the swingarm to be in the centroid of the tire, but the 8466 rims come (...) (17 years ago, 24-Jan-08, to lugnet.technic)

We removed the NXT motor and opted to use a 9v geared motor instead. The gripper now uses a clutch gear to (...) (17 years ago, 24-Jan-08, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

I must say I this site is excellent. I'm really looking forward to seeing more, particularly from 1988-1996. It must take a lot of hard work to do all this and it is very greatly appreciated.

Has TLC or any builder on the net ever come out with a wheel rim that allows for the swingarm to be the centroid of the tire? It would make 4-wheel drive systems, steering systems and suspensions so much better. (17 years ago, 19-Jan-08, to lugnet.technic)
