I recently built mine and have been wondering about adding a motor too. I've thought of adding the motor unit found on the 8279/5121 but it looks as if it would mean removing the external steering wheel and column outside the cab and readjusting the (...)

(...) Sure, you can wire it up to anything you want to. But do so at your own risk. I've used an AC adaptor (12V, 1A output) with my 9V motors for quite a while now and they work fine. My only advice would be to cut your Lego wires a good length (...) (23 years ago, 30-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)

Is it at all possible to wire a regular Lego gear motor to outside electronics? It seems like it could be done by cutting one end off of a Lego wire and reattaching other wires so that the motor could be plugged into something like a speed (...) (23 years ago, 30-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) 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)
