(...) Lego is Lego. No one's imagination is going to be impaired by a press release. As long as you're able to put a couple of 2x4 bricks together and call it a cow/spaceship/whatever you'll be fine. We now return to our usual program of ranting (...) (23 years ago, 25-Oct-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.general)

(...) Hi Miguel, That's a great bike!! A chopper was one of the ideas on my list, but I don't think I'll bother now! One idea I had which I thought might look good was to use a 8448 wheel on the back to give it that extra width - most bikes have a (...) (23 years ago, 24-Oct-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Hi Steve et al, I would have to say that, for many of us, it *is* about telling stories. However, if/when TLC forces a particular storyline down the customers' throats, then we have a problem. I think back to the early Castle sets (Gray (...) (23 years ago, 24-Oct-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.general)

(...) I might be wrong, but if your incline is at 63 degrees, then the component of force (force being the weight of your model) along the inclined surface is = 4.5*sin(63) = 4.0 kg. That is the force, or pull, your model is generating in a (...) (23 years ago, 24-Oct-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

Thanks. I was not aware that one could order those wheels seperately. I have never seen them advertised as such through Lego. I am planning on picking up an 8466 at some point, so I guess I will have six then. By the way, how many technic motors do (...) (23 years ago, 24-Oct-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)
