(...) Perhaps it can be made narrower with the differential as well? I played around a bit with this on the 8880, and here's some ideas: (URL) would really like to see the specialized parts from 8466 in a service pack too! I doubt that we will see (...) (23 years ago, 27-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) interesting solutions! Of course, yet another alternative is Jennifer Clark's flexible Znap axle solution, (URL) of course any solutions that (re)move the differential to an inboard position have their own 'packaging' problems that have to be (...) (23 years ago, 27-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) That's just the kind of challenges I like! Perhaps I should try to grab one of the 8466 sets. On the other hand, I kinda like making small vehicles nowadays. BTW, can I ask one more question on the 8466 setup? One problem with the 8880 setup (...) (23 years ago, 29-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I would recommend it, for sure, for the new parts (the springs are unique too, as they are stiffer than the grey/black ones, in the same way as 8458's yellow springs are), and the chunky, robust design, but the one thing that disappoints me is (...)

(...) I certainly like the way most of the new cars use only one shock absorber per wheel. That is much more realistic than the twin shock abosorbers from 8880. It is also better, as two shock absorbers add more friction to the suspension, making it (...) (23 years ago, 30-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) agreed, apart from the fact you get less shock absorbers included in the kit to use for MOCs! :-) (...) Yes, the gearbox looks to be essentially identical to 8448. (...) I found the modular constuction of 8448 made it less complicated to build (...) (23 years ago, 3-Sep-01, to lugnet.technic)
