Here is some more information on this set:

I use the flex system parts quite a bit actually; I have found them to be
very useful in situations where I would normally use pneumatic pistons, but
need better precision and less force. They tend to work quite well in
conjunction with cams in my experience. Just for fun, I once made a model
which replicated the functionality of the 8868 Airtech Claw Rig without
using any pneumatics (sort of like a personal challenge...hehe); it worked
quite well by using a motor connected to several flex cables instead of
pneumatic pistons. (functions were split using a transmission switch as done
in 8480)
The 8485 Control Center II set also includes lots of flex parts (more than
any other set I think, especially lots of really long ones); the only
downside is that the price is very high.
