This exceeds anything I've ever seen done in the field of Technic/Modelteam previously - really! It pushes the envelope of LEGO (...) (21 years ago, 25-Nov-03, to lugnet.technic)

| (...) Thanks for those comments Tobbe, they are well received since this balance and tuning of which you speak was the main thing I was aiming for with this model. I wanted it to be robust as well, and indeed even after I thought I had completed it (...) (21 years ago, 25-Nov-03, to lugnet.technic)

| (...) Hi Tobbe The functions aren't 'digital like", I know because I too have a digger just like Jennifer's. You can move the sticks slightly and get a proportional output. I built my model to test the dual axis control mechanism I came up with that (...) (21 years ago, 25-Nov-03, to lugnet.technic)
