(...) I remember that too, and remember thinking it looked pretty dodgy. I tried to make a similar type of body for the 8860 at the time, which looked equally dodgy. To be honest, I think the only really viable bodywork for those cars is the type on (...) (25 years ago, 3-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) It occured to me that you can drill a hole in the 8 tooth gear in the same size as the one in the 16 tooth ditto. Not a "pure" LEGO solution but still a solution. Congrats on the Cool LEGO site of the week award, you deserved it! (URL) (25 years ago, 3-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)

I was working on transmission ideas, and I came up with a cute planetary. It can produce several different types of output, and it is typically used in transmissions. My implementation is compact, and doesn't use too many parts. I'm not sure that it (...) (25 years ago, 3-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)

Tobbe, IIRC, the 12V motor was similar to the old 4.5V motor (around the same vintage), of which I have one, and which is similar in power to the 9V geared motors. The 4.5V one (and I think the 12V one also?) only has 4 holes for the really old (...) (25 years ago, 3-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)

I've just noticed that there is a book by Klutz Press called LEGO Crazy Action Contraptions, ISBN 1570541574, that contains 60 Technic pieces. Does anyone know what parts come with this book? Is it worth spending £13 on it just for the parts? Dan (25 years ago, 2-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)
