Thanks T.J. I just assumed the axles were attached. Well, this puts a slight
crimp in my “home made” version of these parts, I guess my parts will simply
have permanent axles. It won’t be as accurate to the real thing, but it is a
lot cheaper and I can make as many as I want.
By the way, the link you posted was a dead end, I got an “error (404): URL
missing”, message.
As for the Throwbots, I have a couple Jet 8504 and Electro 8507, but there
are no ball with axle-hole parts in those sets. Perhaps in the newer
throwbot or the upcoming Bionicle sets will.
Thanks.
Jay
