Let's see:
8488 has steering, transmission, suspension, moving engine parts, and

transmission is better than that in any other model.
8880 has steering (but four-wheel steering should count double),
transmission, four-wheel drive, suspension, flip-up lights, moving
engine parts, and a working trunk. That's seven.
8868 has a working engine, steering, all four rear wheels on
differentials, and a claw arm with four different motions (rotation,
lift, extension, and grip). You could count that as seven.
