There were flexible axles in the Znap (motorized) sets. But they are much
different than the ones in the 8448. The ones in Znap are "drive" axles, they
allow the motor to be in one orientation and the item(s) driven to be in
another. It uses a metal cable between two plastic axles. VERY nice piece.

P.S. Dear LEGO - PLEASE bring Znap to the USA. I've only been able to get them
through other people and have them shipped. I'd buy LOTS more if they were on
my local TRU or Target shelves..
