    Re: Studless Technic models —Kevin L. Clague
   (...) It is my belief that Technic studded beams will always be around, as long as technic is around. There are too many advantages of studded beams over studless beams for them to go away. So for me that is a non-issue. Studless beams have (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

      (...) Hi Jindrich, Thanks for your open minded responses. <snip> (...) I guess my long winded post was unneccessary...... Wimpy beams have been getting a lot of grief lately, so I guess I had pent up energy about that. Wimpy beams provide no new (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.technic)

      Hi Kevin, (...) I think this misunderstanding arose from my bad pidgin english, I should have stressed that 'only studless' phrase. (...)

     (...) Replying to myself, phew ;-) AFAIK in Technic, last sets containing studded beams are 3804 RIS2.0 (2001), 8466 4x4Offroader (2001) & 8461 Williams (2002). 8431 Crane Truck (2002) doesn't count, as it is a re-release.

      (...) Then I'm concerned for them too. Maybe LEGO will go back to them as it is shifting back to its core product lines. Steven is right. They are more open to input right now that they have been in a long time. Kevin (20 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.technic)

          Re: Studless Technic models —Jona Jeffords
      (...) Joe, I see in your linked to model that you have been able to mount motors to a studless chassis. I am wondering if you or anyone else has come upon a "standard" method of doing this?

      (...) The second picture shows a good sideview, and it looks like he just used some basic plates (and two of the rail-plates normally used to mount that style of motor) to trap a small TECHNIC brick extending out of the side of the motor, which is (...)

         Re: Studless Technic models —David Laswell
     (...) The C-3PO, Stormtrooper, and Jango Fett TECHNIC sets all use 1x2 (2-hole) or 1x1 bricks to attach basic LEGO pieces to the otherwise TECHNIC assembly. The R2-D2 set uses a 1-hole 1x2 as a spacer between two assemblies. The closest I can (...) (20 years ago, 17-Jan-04, to lugnet.technic)

      (...) This is a difficult statement to confirm or deny. Please note that there are very very few sets (beginning with 2002) which still have the TECHNIC moniker.
