(...) I tried doing this a year or so ago using several (2/wheel) universal joints; it worked pretty well but had some pretty bad limitations. The main problems with it were that it was way too bulky (24 studs wide) and also that the suspension and (...) (24 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

Has anyone tried (successfully, or not...) to create working models or systems using both of these items together? I'm guessing that I could use a mechanical feedback circuit (like 8868 alt. model / 8479) to trigger the RCX from the actions of the (...) (24 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Interesting. My problem is I am (and I know this is pretty daft) trying to make the entire chassis from the parts in the 8479 Code-pilot truck as I haven't split my sets yet. So these are the wheels I am working with and I would need to get (...) (24 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

Christian (and Michael and everyone else), Sorry, I should have been more clear on one issue -- Christian is right that not all of the masks were included in the first release of the mask packs. So it's inaccurate to say that "all 73 masks had an (...) (24 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.lego.direct)

Hi Eric, excellent reply! I couldn't have said that better! The guys that complain about the "collectible system" itself won't buy the masks anyway (and nobody asks them to do so). I don't complain about that thing, I knew about that before having (...) (24 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.dear-lego)

I know this may make some people squeemish, but you can always drill out a larger hole in the middle of the wheel's hub, so that the cv joint can slide all the way through the hub. Then connect a "technic wedge belt wheel" to the outside of the hub, (...) (24 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)
