If you still want the rear wheel drive and suspension, you are going to have a tough time implementing rear wheel steering! The 8880 implements rear wheel steering and drive by some specialized parts. Without them it is somewhat tricky to build (...) (25 years ago, 10-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)

8456 had the fiber optics, but is hard to find. The micro motors were available as a service pack. That way you'd get the proper brackets to mount it (top and bottom, rather than two bottom pieces like you get with the space shuttle). Check (...) (25 years ago, 10-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)

I want to buy some resale pneumatic shocks. Is there a way to identify the defective early version? I'm not sure if Lego would send me new ones if I didn't get them from a kit myself, or if these were replaced once already. Thanks, -Amnon (25 years ago, 10-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)
