That was also my first guess, but my second guess is that one knob would
rotate the water cannon, and the other would steer the 3 axles.
As for other mechanisms hidden in the back.... not sure, but I would hope
that a large-ish technic model for 70 USD would offer more than just steering.
A damper operated lifting cab maybe, but hopefully more?

I think the technic lineup for 2003 looks much better than this year's.
Personally, none of these sets get me as excited as the 8880 or 8448 did,
and being relatively expensive, I will wait until I see them in stores, and
read other people's reviews.
Build well
