The shocks in the Silver Champion ARE stiffer. The lever action is just how they happen to be used in the "Silver Champion" instructions. Or did I not understand your point? They are used without any lever action in the "Silver Truck" instructions. (...) (25 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic)

YES, the shocks on the silver champion are far stiffer...this is because it uses a lever action like real F1... Fredrik Glöckner <fredrik.glockner@bio.uio.no> wrote in message news:qrd4s0tl4ec.fsf....uio.no... (...) (25 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I take that back. Apparently Jin Sato didn't make that, he just talked about it in the book. I guess I never really noticed MIBO in that picture before. *feeling dumb* sorry... -jeremiah- (25 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.technic)

Yeah, that was Jin Sato's. It's featured in his book on Mindstorms, and on his site: (...) (25 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.technic)

I don't think so - I seem to remember seeing this somewhere before, built with a humble RCX 1.0/5. Actually, if you look closely, you'll see it contains 2 RCXs, one below the other on an angle. Not much chance of TLC including 2 with the set.... (...) (25 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.technic)

The last two have limbs that might be interesting for castle lego. (you could create an elf hero with a magical green axe, for instance). Kopaka's head might be useful for some space MOCs.

Oh, wow!! If that set is even half as good as it looks in the picture, that will be one set everyone will be scrambling to pick up!! Mind you, I do hope they don't expect to put a $390 price tag on it and expect people to pay that much for it!! Mind (...) (25 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.technic)

James, I stand corrected!! I haven't investigated steam engines thoroughly, but I used to like taking rides in the old traction engines at shows when I was a kid. And back then I seemed to take a lot more in...... But I do remeber that the driver (...) (25 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic)
