I'll admit under pressure that I've actually considered buying a 5571. I
found it once in a shop in some other city that I rarely come to for
about $100, which seemed like a good deal to me. Of course, luck being
what it is, I didn't have any money then, but I did see some other
people look at it, too. Predictably, when I returned a month later with
money, the set was gone.
Yes, technic is far superior, but of all the other themes, I'd say that
Model Team is the only thing even coming close to the appeal of Technic.
(And this time I'm serious.)

His pendulum axle construction looks interesting, certainly something
I'll have to try. But what does he mean when he talks about some problem
with the differentials? Still, a very good looking modification.
