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 (...)

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 (...)

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 (...)

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)
