Nah, not likely they're only making the models bigger to fit their
size mistake ,)

I'm not as thrilled as most ppl. seem.
I already own four of the wheels from the Power Puller and I can't
figure what to make of them, they are to wide compared to their height
to fit good in a scale model. At least the ones I think of :)
What other parts can be worth owning the car for? More bent studless
pieces?
I guess some of you buy Technic for the featured model but I buy them
for the parts to feature my own creations :)
I'll just wait and see 'til I find a decent inventory of it before I
make up my mind of it's value!
Looks like it has some standard black beams in there though, but my
bin is ful :)
What functions might it have?
I guess steering and suspension but what more?
Steering AND 4WD? That would be something it they make a low friction
solution to that problem. Zooming in on the picture I think I can spot
a differential between the front wheels.
Seems like it has gull wing doors too. Seems to have the same set-up
with the air-shock that always broke on the 8448.
I think I can see a gear box in the cockpit.
Does the rear open?
What is this? A 8448 off-road?
Also, why did they turn the text "TECHNIC POWER" inwards on the tires?
I hope for a good solution to the driving and steering issue! I also
hope it's featured in the smaller set so my wallent won't scream in
pain if I "need" to get two copies to feature four wheel driving and
steering like 8880 has. Not likely though since it does not have a
working engine and hardly the room for the difs.
