| (...) My backhoe has yet to have its wheels fall off. Nor had the wheels on "da Buster" when it was still built. However, when its chassis was being rebuilt, I used 3L axle with stud to hold the wheels on my 4404, in anticipation of a (...) (20 years ago, 29-Jun-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.technic)

| (...) In Lego's defense, I will offer my observations. The 8369 is a 7.2 volt RC car meant for use outdoors. It is Lego's way of competing with the flooded RC car market for the summer. It comes with a 7.2v NiCad battery and charger and will (...) (20 years ago, 29-Jun-04, to lugnet.technic)

| (...) Among those that I own, the best ones from 2003 would be the "model team" sets. [LEGOSet 4403] [LEGOSet 4404] for black technic bricks, and [LEGOSet 7470] for black and white technic bricks.

| Yes, it is best to have the option of using either method where appropriate... presumably it is still possible to get sets with the traditional Technic beams etc. What would be a good currently available set for this? Jennifer (20 years ago, 29-Jun-04, to lugnet.technic)

| (...) Hi Jennifer, I can see that I have mostly the same opinion as you, and I think its a good subject to discuss. I do not own that much of the "new" technic bricks, but the few bricks I have are very usefull in some particular places. But I'm a (...) (20 years ago, 29-Jun-04, to lugnet.technic)
