Hi Pat,
The 8880 is a very heavy model with big wide tires that are very reluctant
to roll. The new gear head motors are a lot better, but I don't think you
could move this 4 wheel drive car with one motor.
I hope you will join with us on this news group so we can discuss things
together rather than through the mail. We all enjoy seeing pictures of LEGO
creations, so post them when you can.
