I got a bunch of the length 4's from service
packs from Canada (#1345, very likely unavailable
now).

I dunno either.  I've got an 8862, and the #10
threaded axle is great for anchoring the rear
pneumatic scoop.  I think 8854 also uses one for
the same purpose.

Y'know, it'd be cool to use one of the #10's
with a rotation sensor for precise longitudinal
positioning in a RCX 'bot.  The only catch is
the relatively short length to work with.
