Anyway, can you answer the question that most of us are waiting to have
answered?

Namely, does the 8466 have true 4-wheel drive, independent suspension, • and
front-wheel steering?  I'm pretty sure from the pictures that we can • confirm
the steering and suspension on the front wheels, but is there a • drivetrain
and differential linking the engine, front wheels and rear wheels?


A few details...

1. Steering is via the front wheels, two rods providing control via the
steering wheel and a central 'god' wheel.
2. Independent suspension on all four wheels via four heavy springs, one • one
each wheel (springs similar to the original super car).
3. Drive to both front and rear wheels as well as the engine, along with a
new unit to hold each wheel on (which have massive 4 inch tyres).
4. Five forward gears and one reverse.
5. Two air filled cylinders to lift and lower the boot (like the new super • car).
6. Instructions for two variations using the same chassis.
7. Instructions to build in the optional pneumatics add on pack to create • a
rear crane arm.

Hope this helps,
Stephen
