(...) It's the tubing from the 8002 Destroyer Droid (in brown) and the 8503 Scuba Slizer (in yellow). These sets have the rubbery, sloppy tubes. Virtually all other Technic sets have the plastic tubes which are much less flexible. Fredrik (25 years ago, 14-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)

I have 2 different kinds of tubing in my collection. One lind is a stiff tube that holds its shape a bit when bent. The other kind is a very flexable tube that dosnt feel like ABS at all. It feels more like a rubbery sort of palstic. Can anyone tell (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jan-00, to lugnet.technic)

I added a Pneumatic Claw ( like the Airtech claw rig ) to my 8462 secondary model today, and learnt something very useful. The older flex tubing, like that is used in the 8462, is very handy when used as tubing extenders. I used two pieces running (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jan-01, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.technic)
