I'm having a good, long look at these creatures. Here are some things i'm noticing. <set:8531 Pohatu> Pohatu has brown Throwbot parts, as well as tan. The main function of this set is almost certainly a gear-controlled kicking motion. Look at the (...) (25 years ago, 27-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.year.2001)

(...) Oh okay, thanks; you're right, Znap does seem to resemble Knex quite a bit... (25 years ago, 26-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Thanks, That looks really neat; is the 4-wheel steering and 4-wheel drive done by using two of those universal "swivel" axle joints per wheel and 3 differentials? Yeah...I have the 8448 model and although it looks great, I wasn't too impressed (...) (25 years ago, 26-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Indeed - but would this not also reduce the effect when in crab mode too, where all axles should be steered equally? I was wondering if it would be possible to get an assymetric effect from the linkage, so that having the control fully one way (...) (25 years ago, 26-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic)

Jennifer, Waffling is OK!! I do it all the time!! The reason it should be curved is so that as you adjust the control, the output (link "E") doesn't move. That's why its radius should be exactly the length from "C" to "E". I agree, a bush would give (...) (25 years ago, 26-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Actually, they got as low as US$25 at some Target stores. (I bought one.. my girlfriend wouldn't let me get two, even at that price) Although I got mine for less, I definitely think it's worth US$50. It's a nice set, although the CD-ROM is (...)

Some more thoughts on this - Perhaps Link "C" could be replaced by a bush instead of a 3 hole half beam? If so, there is much more scope for curved guides - perhaps the non-studded beams with a bend in the middle could be used, or even some flex (...) (25 years ago, 26-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic)
