My guess would be that since this is a re-issue of a TECHNIC set as a legend,
it has TECHNIC written on the box. I mean, in the original release, it was
part of TECHNIC, not Star Wars, Racers, Bionicle, etc.
Personally, I don't really care if the "TECHNIC" LEGO theme disappears. As
long as technic elements such as beams, liftarms, gears, transmission bits,
motors, etc. keep showing up in decent quantities in LEGO sets, I, for one,
will be happy. No matter if it says Star Wars, Bionicle, Racers, or TECHNIC on
the box. And I believe one of the LEGO reps at Brickfest 2002 DID say that
TECHNIC is not dead.... probably referring to technic LEGO in general.
Also discovered a new Racers (technic) set on Shop@Home:
8472 Street 'n' Mud Racer

It has a motor, and appears to use bumpers to toggle the motor from forward to
backward. The switch appears to resemble a polarity switch. Unfortunately the
motor is likely inside a single module with the batteries, similar to the
Manas. Not sure if the set has steering or not. Anyone have this set? Anyone
know anything more about the 8472??? Cool use of Bionicle parts as fenders on
the off-road version...
build well
