(...) That's never happened, Yet!! Actually the body work stops that from happening and there used to be a 1x8 plate connecting the racks and keeping them in the correct place. I've put the dat up to enable a closer look. Steve (23 years ago, 28-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic)

Steve, I like the design you used to control the height of the blade. You may need to beef up the upper portion of the support of the gear rack. It will probably derail if you do not support both sides of the rack. Cool design all around. Very (...) (23 years ago, 28-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic)

This is what I built over the weekend, it's a bit of a diversion in between bigger projects. (URL) not finished yet, and the bodwork is virtual since it's not been put on the real machine yet. The tracks drive independantly and the blade moves up (...) (23 years ago, 28-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) You've missed the point of the competition. Each set has it's own class. The challenge is to get the most out of the parts you are given. I think the current rules are fine. What you have described would be a completely different competition. (...) (23 years ago, 28-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic)

Does this have to be a commercially available set? There is a scaled up model of a Lego Racer in Hamley's of London window. Wheels are about 2 feet in diameter and powered by a 240V mains motor - should be able to beat all comers!!! If I can get (...) (23 years ago, 28-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic)
