(...) It's 8868 I reccon, the same set that gave me the idea to this whole project :) I did build a compressor yesterday with a 'medium' sized old-style cylinder. I used two old style 9v motors and I didn't like the weak performance of the (...) (25 years ago, 9-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)

Hey Everyone, I just started on the main model (the truck) for the Code Pilot set (8479) and MAN do I appreciate the work Lego has put into the newer kits by segregating pieces in to sequentially numbered containers. The Super Street Sensation (...) (25 years ago, 9-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)

I'm not so sure about that. I think 8516 is Roboriders Wave 2, much like 8520 to 8523 is Throwbots Wave 2. 1. The technic catalog I got with my pit droid last Dec only shows the first six riders. 2. www.lego.com/roboriders/ only shows the first six. (...) (25 years ago, 9-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) You just build the compressor, and for gods sake - don't use the air tanks! They're great when used with the handpump, but can ruin almost any compressor design. Take a look at the compressor in that awesom "claw truck" (can't remember the set (...) (25 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Not to worry, I've been using that equipment for long and are well in to the laws and such here in Sweden. It's in a legal and open, free band with no restrictions at all. No one uses that frequency for airplanes anymore here in Sweden, and if (...) (25 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Thanks for the input. I'll stick with the Planos for now. But the Lego suitcase looks pretty cool. Maybe it's because I also have a lot of DeWalt power tools, and they all have the same types of cases, along with that mesmerizing electric (...) (25 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)

There is one very important point that no one has considered. The FCC has set up laws prohibiting use of air frequencies on land vehicles. This is to protect RC pilots from interference from other people on the same frequency. Someone could be (...) (25 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)

Hi Sean, all the sets are shown in the latest german consumer catalog so we can be sure that they will appear this year. However, 8516 should have been released in June (like all other Roboriders) and no retailer was yet able to tell me anything (...) (25 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)
