(...) They're not really pneumetics. They're slow release springs, kind of like on a screen door. You can use one to do the pop-up roop of the convertible version or use both to do the gull wing doors version. (26 years ago, 30-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I agree, but my budget (and wife) are glad that the big sets don't come very often. Lego 8448 looks great. I have added it to my wish list. I will have to get on brickbay and ebay and see if I can locate one. I noticed someone said that this (...) (26 years ago, 30-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

OK...if they create these systems accurately, I may have to eat my words. We will have to stay tuned to find out. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Steven (...) (26 years ago, 30-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

You surely have pressed the limits of what the pneumatics are capable of. As a new user, I have not had a chance to experiment with the actual capabilities of the system. Great to hear from someone who has. (...) I agree 100%. Legos is about (...) (26 years ago, 30-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I've done many of those functions with my McLaren F1 MOC... 1. It uses the white clutch gear for a limited-slip differential. 2. 1st gear acts as the hand brake for now :) . 3. It has inboard brakes for the rear... Couldn't find room for (...) (26 years ago, 30-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) How come it eats a lot of power? Once it's locked, it's locked... right? After one part of the clutch stops spinning in relation to the other part it's just a (bulky) part of the drive axle, or did you use a more complex implementation with a (...) (26 years ago, 30-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I've done a clutch, but it ate LOTS of power, and didn't work all that well. Brakes would be nice. A hand brake is probably doable in the current supercar (I haven't tried). Foot brakes would need something like flex system to activate. Even (...) (26 years ago, 29-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

The <set:8448> has it's merits too. I just wish LEGO wouldn't keep us waiting so (...) (26 years ago, 29-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I've recently bought both, second hand, built up, but I must say I'm not impressed with either. Don't get me wrong, the sets are brilliant, for parts. but when I came to play ( I mean operate, 25 year olds don't play)with them I soon lost (...) (26 years ago, 29-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)
