Hello Tobias (...) As far as I can tell, the big ones are in the Powerpuller (8457) and the big 4x4 (8466) these wheels are about 10 centimeters in diameter... greetings Maico Arts (23 years ago, 29-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)

I have a few questions regarding different types of wheels. I'd like four *big* ballon tyres, not small like those you get in the Police Buggy or the Exploration Mars set. 1. Are the ballon tyres in the Wheel Pack (5219, I think it was) of the big (...) (23 years ago, 29-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Awesome crane! As for string, I've been using a special fishing line I discovered. Unfortunately I'm not a fisherman so I can't describe what its for but I can tell you what it looks like. Its a black braided thread, much like lego string. Its (...) (23 years ago, 29-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I would recommend it, for sure, for the new parts (the springs are unique too, as they are stiffer than the grey/black ones, in the same way as 8458's yellow springs are), and the chunky, robust design, but the one thing that disappoints me is (...)

(...) I seem to recall I had to adjust the meshing of some bevel gears to get it just right, but if you line them up just like it shows on page 37 (step 23), it should work fine.
