Does anyone have designs for a suspension setup using the dark gray shock absorbers? I would like it to have a lot of travel, and have the axle drive the wheel. (I'm building a sort of space rover.

In terms of mechanics, I don't like the set too much. It has only got four (or so) gear cogs included. And the crane is kinda floppy. On the other side, the mechanism for the rear lift is very well designed. I suppose it's a nice set for those who (...) (25 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)

Hi, I was in LegoLand (Billund) this year (as always), and apparently they have either found a massive stock of 8880's or started reproducing them. At least it was selling at the park for less than $100,- and in the park they had built a LARGE model (...) (25 years ago, 9-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)
