Seeing this article news://lugnet.com/G7...lugnet.com it occurs to me that the scans may be illegal dealer catalog scans, so I cancel my previous article. Fredrik (25 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)

That Komatsu motor grader looks really cool, but it's not the coolest model around. There are Caterpillar and Case graders around, and some older models of graders still around have the ability to swing the blade to either side. This is done by (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I am going to disagree with you. Speaking as a parent, and a AFOL, I think these sets look quite good for both for parts and play value. I spend a lot of time building RC RCX models – now Lego have caught up with me: (URL) A (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Those new dinosaurs are (supposedly) Technic? They're kinda...umm...goofy looking, aren't they? Well, OK, it's just the 'young' ones that are really goofy. The old ones just look like action figures to me - not a whole lotta parts. What are (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.castle)

Yeah i noticed there is a lot of binding in the drivetrain. It seems to be caused by the Perpendicular Axle joiner that is placed in between the bottom suspension arm on the same axle as the bottom of the shocks.. The shocks are also a bit too long. (...)

Hmmm. Blue Dragon Arms! Some kind of new (?) Curved cylinder (tapered?) pieces for the dino's tails and necks. I wonder if they will connect using Technic friction pins... That could be cool. I also like the brown "sail" on 7003 the Young (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.castle)

(...) With the possible exception of the 4 x 4 car all of those sets stink. All of those models look very crap. I will still be buying them (some of them anyway) though because it looks like the one saving grace for this garbage is the parts (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.technic)

Similar to what I'm building now I think. I'm using 2 u-joints with 'parallelogram' suspension, and it works ok as long as you make sure that the pivot points for the hub and suspension are vertically aligned witht he u-joint pivot points. That way, (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)
