|
| I uploaded a video (with some stills in it) of a Power-Functions remote controlled car. It uses a dual-differential drive so that it can go straight well. (The video also shows stills of an earlier version that used a more conventional steering; but (...) (17 years ago, 22-Dec-07, to lugnet.technic)

| (...) Just by the way, back in those days LEGO also made a 12V technic motor that was the same size as the 4.5 but came in black.
