Ye, that is in fact a typo, and it is in fact a black Matatu. Sorry about that. I am hoping that they will have a black Rau so I can build the koli ball salesman with spare Huki/Hafu pieces. Ian (...) (25 years ago, 5-Jun-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)

(...) I don't think I understand how using six wheels is going to help you here. The problem with the friction and steering will be present also when using six wheels. Perhaps you will find the problem even more severe, as there are four wheels (...) (25 years ago, 5-Jun-01, to lugnet.technic)

Wow Fredrik, that could be just what I'm looking for too! So the question is, how much does it increase the offset and how much dish is there in a Power Puller wheel? Lawrence, if this works I'll have four wheels off you if you have any left. Psi (25 years ago, 5-Jun-01, to lugnet.technic)

I haven't pulled my 8880 apart yet, but was thinking of building a 4x4 using the 8880 running gear together with the large power puller wheels. Then I realised that the wheel hubs on the 8880 have a 'special' connection to the axles. Is there an (...) (25 years ago, 5-Jun-01, to lugnet.technic)
