I haven't pulled my 8880 apart yet, but was thinking of building a
4x4 using the 8880 running gear together with the large power
puller wheels.


Just a quick comment here.  The new 4x4 which is due out soon will
probably have the parts needed to build just what you want.  If you
can wait for it's arrival, that is.


I've heard reports from people who have played with it that it does
indeed have independent suspension, steering and four wheel drive.  So
I figure it must have some kind of 8880-like solution.  It will be
exciting to see what it looks like!


Pictures I have seen show it has the suspension from the silver champion.

Downside - it costs money! I already have all the other parts.
I am upgrading my home cinema this month, so keeping Lego purchases to a
minimum.
I know, I could have built one out of Lego, but they didn't have a DD5.1
brick yet.

lawrence

(...) May I ask you for a reference to these images? I think the only images I have seen have been fairly small, with virtually no details from the suspension. Fredrik (23 years ago, 7-Jun-01, to lugnet.technic)
