(...) I also have an 855 Crane set, as well the 853 Car Chassis - in both sets I experienced problems with the 1x16 bricks breaking in two (I would crazy glue them together, but it's just not the same - sometimes they would break again). Also, some (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jun-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I experimented with this a while ago. I managed to fire a 10 stud axle about 5 meters using an elastic band setup with a beam stricking the axle. However, this didn't give a very gun-like contraption, and I never quite perfected a trigger (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jun-00, to lugnet.technic)

My latest avenue of lego research is lego firing. I am trying to make a contraption using only lego peices that will fire a small projectile (eg a black friction peg) as far as possible. At first I tried to use springs, but the results were very (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jun-00, to lugnet.technic)

It uses 3 of the "small" shock absorbers -- see: (URL) rear wheel uses one of the "81" shocks. They don't work independently. The third shock is the "97" version. It doesn't provide suspension in the main model, but it works as a spring in the (...) (25 years ago, 7-Jun-00, to lugnet.technic)
