Hi everyone To all other Silver Champion owners..... I've just finished my McLaren... ...oops... Silver Champion, and have a few small complaints about the original design. 1st, why are there so many 3-long friction connectors used at the outboard (...) (25 years ago, 13-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) If you don't have any other lego at all I reecomend you buy just one or two lego (not technic) sets. Most new technic sets come with very few basic plates and bricks, which are incredibly useful. However, you may find the selection you have (...) (25 years ago, 13-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) TRU Penrith had the 8462 for $99, they had at least six sets. The 8448 is down to $129 there as well, they had two sets. pw (25 years ago, 13-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)

Holy Cow! I thought it was cool that they built full size faring panels, but then, when I got in and saw that they were built out of Lego bricks themselves, I was blown away. The engine piece and the shock absorbers were also. Again, I was blown (...) (25 years ago, 13-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.loc.dk, lugnet.loc.dk.kb.kob)

(...) Yes, I'd vote for the 8462 as well. Great set especially with the discounted price at Australia TRUs. Unfortunately the current catalogue is a bit little-on for really nice Technics sets; too many Roboriders and Slizers for my taste. I'd also (...) (25 years ago, 13-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)

Yeah...

Hi, What state are you in? In Melbourne I have seen the Power Puller at David Jones, a bit pricy though. TRU are selling the 8462 Tow Truck for $136, which is good if you want pneumatics. Basically look for sets on special, usually the older ones, (...) (25 years ago, 12-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Hi, If your clear pneumatic shock absorbers break that means they are faulty and must be changed (you call Lego customer service to have them replaced). The suspension on the 8448 uses the dark gray shocks. If you use the light gray shocks, (...) (25 years ago, 12-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)
