You're right, the disks are not random. The picture on the box shows exactly which disks you get. Boxes of five discs are $2.50 from Lego Shop at Home. (Incedentally, so are boxes of four RoboRider wheels.) The website (URL) has a technic magazine (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jun-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Here's the link for those disks: (URL) I've only seen them once, at Zainy Brainy in Canoga Park, Ca. That was close to 6 months ago. I wished I'd picked them up at the time just on the basis that I'd never seen them before. Oh, well... -Dave (25 years ago, 19-Jun-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) The gears can be used as beveled gears and can be set 90 degrees opposed. I have seen this in another set, I cannot recall which. The gears can also be used with the 12 tooth beveled gear.

Does anyone know why the gears in the gearbox on this model are rounded like that? Why didn't TLG use standard gears? Mike (25 years ago, 19-Jun-00, to lugnet.technic)
