I got it too, I spent 9 hours strait putting it together on the living room
floor(intermixed with a few 5-10 minute breaks to do other things)
the steering is a little stiff, but what I'm wondering about is in the rear
drive- the main transfer of power from the transmission to the
rear differential is 2 small bevel gears!! it puts a lot of strain on them
sometimes.

anyone got any ideas where to mount a motor to power it so that it will run
all 4 wheels? I've had trouble finding a place.

Well Santa brought me an 8466 4x4 Off-Roader set.
It is an impressive set.  I've only built bag one of EIGHT! and I'm • already
blown away.

I was wondering if anyone else thinks the steering and power is a bit • stiff?
Everything was working very smooth until I placed those yellow and black • axles

clear cylinders with their yellow pistons; they do look a bit weird. :-P
