  Re: Technic 8466 4X4 Off-Roader REVIEW
 
(...) Thanks John! =P Like I mentioned to you before school is starting soon for me (less than a week) and I think I can get just ne more big set out of this summer. Time's running out, and I need some quick reviews or comments that tell me which (...) (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: Technic 8466 4X4 Off-Roader REVIEW
 
(...) Nice set, no quite my style but lots of action! Really love the transmition. Too bad it can't move by itself... (...) One of my most favorite sets. Lots of action- lifting landing gear, moving wing flaps, fiber optics, opening cargo bay doors, (...) (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: Technic 8466 4X4 Off-Roader REVIEW
 
(...) Actually, I do have 8880. A real masterpiece if you ask me. Very hard to compare it to 8466, they are sooo...ooo different! (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: Technic 8466 4X4 Off-Roader REVIEW
 
(...) Super car. Think of this as the street version of the 8466...no 4wd :( But more interesting modular building process. It's pretty darn cool nonetheless. Lego discontinued. Ebay or bricklink are decent bets. (...) Must have set for every (...) (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: Technic 8466 4X4 Off-Roader REVIEW
 
(...) What a coincedence! I was in MY dark ages up until I just ordered that set, and now I'M asking where to get copies of recent large Technic sets! You couldn't give me some info on any the following sets, could you? 8448 8480 8458 8462 8460 (...) (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: Technic 8466 4X4 Off-Roader REVIEW
 
I agree with all your comments. This is a great set, especially now it is available at 50%. It is a clever model and well worth building just to soak up a recent lesson in current parts type building techniques (smooth beams etc.). I just grabbed a (...)

  Re: The Big Crane At Brickfest
 
Gordon, (...) The axles of my crane were supported as well. I put six black bricks under the chassis. You nearly couldn’t trace them. Many people thought the crane was supported only by it’s heavy support arms. But as LEGO-ist you know that’s far (...) (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam)

  Re: Yet Another Technic Creation
 
I had been about to announce I was organising the TVLF in Lawrence's place this year, but the sudden influx of fests means I'm going to postpone it for a couple of months. Nathaniel (...) (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.loc.uk)
 
  Re: How I've been procrastinating...
 
(...) Thanks! (...) That'll be rather difficult (tho not impossible) for I ripped it apart and put the 8475 back together--the 8466 was great for about 3-5 minutes, but it kills the batteries waaay too fast. (...) The motor is at one end, and a (...) (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: How I've been procrastinating...
 
(...) Very cool Dave! Nicely done. You should bring it to the next rtl dinner... ok, maybe with smaller tires for ease of transport ;) I can't figure out how you actually got the drive to the rear wheels. Is each of the new motors driving one of the (...) (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.technic)
 
  Znap-Snap Back to the drawing board
 
So there I am hang'n with my buddy Brian Sad, I was showing off my new Mecha Arm and the Znap Flex Axle snapped! Too bad, it was kind a cool set up. All we new was the arm was on the ground crawling around, and then the gears were just spinning. (...) (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: New style diffs, driving rings and 16t clutch gears
 
(...) I've built a multi-function transmission/transfer-case for a Jeep. It includes a 4-speed transmission, which is then routed to a 2-speed transfer case. The 2-speed is exactly as ROSCO describes it. The output is then routed to the central (...) (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: New style diffs, driving rings and 16t clutch gears
 
(...) I thought of a possible idea how you could use this as a means to make a car thats both a 2wd and a 4wd, where you select between them with a lever, much like on real 4wds. (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Well spotted! (...) Not that I know of... (...) The obvious one I can see is different gear ratio (using the 24t gear on the diff). Means you can get a really simple 2-speed trans without external gearing (like most of TLC's multi-speed (...) (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic)
 
  New style diffs, driving rings and 16t clutch gears
 
Hi, Has anybody else noticed that the new style Technic differential housings (p/n 6573) have the same mouldings as the 16t clutch gears and could therefore be engaged by a driving ring. Has Lego ever used this feature in a set? Can anyone think of (...) (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic)
