  Are grey axles meant to have less friction?
 
I couldn't find an earlier post about this (though it might well be there) so I'm starting a new thread. I recently noticed that the grey axles (the odd-length ones in some recent sets like 8451 and 8453) have less friction than the black ones. It (...) (20 years ago, 22-May-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Here's an important question. What will be the limiting factor in how fast this beast can move? Is it: A) Travel time for the pneumatic cylinders or B) Volume of air available?
