Hao-yang Wang, I'd be interested in knowing a few things like: How fast do they go and can you adjust the speed? What is the range on the remotes? How much power do the motors seem to have (wondering how big/heavy a creation you could make that (...) (23 years ago, 25-Jul-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.technic.bionicle)
