(...) I certainly like the way most of the new cars use only one shock absorber per wheel. That is much more realistic than the twin shock abosorbers from 8880. It is also better, as two shock absorbers add more friction to the suspension, making it (...) (23 years ago, 30-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)

Hello Tobias (...) I know at least 4 types of balloon tyres: 43.2 x 28 56 x 30 68.8 x 40 100 x 60 The tyres of the 8465 looks like the 68.8 x 40 to me... The look the same as the tyres of the 8459 or 8464 (pneumatic front end loader) If you take a (...) (23 years ago, 30-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)

Are there two or three sizes of them, then? Maybe I was wrong, thinking it only was two. The wheels on the 8465 doesn't look as small as the Exploration Mars ones. --Tobias (...) (23 years ago, 30-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)

(...) 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 (...)
