That might well be the closest yet to come to a grader blade. Although I would prefer it if it didn't have those nasty-looking ridges made by the studs and plates that help fit them together. Should be fairly simple to make one, a 90o curve isn't (...) (26 years ago, 7-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) [...] (...) It looks more like <set:8422> than 8417. On the other hand, it has "real-working rear suspension", but no gears, chains, engines, etc. -- mechanisms that make the Technic 8417 and 8422 so enjoyable. In terms of functionality, this (...)

(...) Yes, I've noticed this too - they like to run it through their fingers and make bracelets and whatnot from it. Perhaps it would be a good executive stress toy? :-) Jennifer Clark (26 years ago, 6-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

Sorry I couldn't. I even tried attempting a trade for two whole Amazon's/Jungle's with my younger brother but he wouldn't go for it. You may try getting them from Lego S@H I believe they still have them in stock. Full price though. -- Kenneth A. (...) (26 years ago, 6-Apr-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic.slizer)

Dean, it's probably dumb luck that the two drives on the piece I'm working on have little slack. Yet, with LEGO beams and blocks you can't use every gear combination; there are published beam/block/plate combinations that let this or that pair of (...)
