What I would like Lego to do is make more pictures and descriptions
available. How much would it cost them to post a few more pictures of 8466
(and others, too) on the Net or simply put more text descriptions? We could
get a better look at the beast and tell for sure what new and old parts are
available.

I'll tell you, if I knew for sure exactly what parts came with 8466, it
would help my decision to buy it or not. As it is, I'm waiting for a fellow
Lugnetter to get theirs and then tell us all about it.

Oh well, I don't mean to complain. I'm excited about the new sets (8465,
8466)and I'm glad that they're not too specialized/juniorized.

they are within a diff housing above a 16 tooth gear and did something like
what was done to the rear wheel drive of the 8448?

Maybe it's just printing, but the one in the catalog doesn't appear to have
the horizontal rib on either side like the 32186 and this one appears to be
able to accommodate some kind of ball than just a pin or cross axle.  A new
version?
