I don't own the 8296, but what I can see from the pictures, I would say that 8296 is very similar to 8829. The only things that are different ist that 8296 is studless and features a steering wheel for the seat. But 8829 has got bigger wheels... >:-) It also would have been nice, if the wheels from 8296 could have the same tread.

Hi! This is my second M:Tron-MOC! Just two things: yeeees... it's not really "firm". I didn't have a real reason for those 90° angeled wheels. And the "connection" between the front and the rear part is done using magnets... but hey! It's M:Tron! The masters of magnets! Their magnets are very strong and each part is working like a segway! And they are still doing some research! (inside this Mobile. I don't know where but I know THAT) :-P I hope you'll believe that...! :-D X-D Anyway: ENJOY! Front: Back: Back with removed panel or back without panel: The rear part alone: The front part alone: (Hey, I used NO support for this photo! ;-) ) Open: Still open: Erm... yes. these are auxiliary wheels! X-D

Hi! This is my forth (old-school) technic set review! Since blakbird pointed out that all my technic reviews are red, I chose a yellow dune blaster for today! just kidding. this set is red as it should be! (Don't worry my next reviews will be yellow and black... uhhh forshadowing... ;-) ) I will start with some facts! 277 elements and released in 1994 that's enough. #1: the box: #2: the parts: #3: building instructions and catalogues: Wow! No folds, no wear marks - simply: *wub* "Was lesen coole Kids?" - "KLICK! Das super Magazin fuer coole Kids!" (How obvious...) #4: building: No differential. I really love the way the 1x8 Technic Bricks on the sides will be positioned later. Fun fact: the engine contains no 2L-Technic Axle. ...and finished. A real quick build. #5: spare parts: ...for the alternate model. The yellow Technic Handle should be from 8412. Maybe a bonus feature from the seller! #6: random shots: #7: final thoughts: This is my second 8829 and I also noticed that the engine turns very hard. The alternate model is really (sorry to all those of you who like it) crappy. I mean- a nice idea, but not with this wheels! :-| Anyway: a really beautiful Technic-set! *reminiscing* (this word exists, does it?) thanks for viewing the pictures, I hope you enjoyed it! Please comment if you want to!

i guess you already know this gallery: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=303335 really nice ideas for fitting rails!

thanks guys! yop, I had the slave 1 in mind - right after I've build the angle. btw: the pilots name is Fred Fett. :-D X-D I used the large panel from the Mega-Core Magnetizer in my next MOC coming tomorrow...! EDIT: ah- for the antennae / antennas: (Maybe) they are radioactive tracers, shock absorbers or just trappings? I'll never know... :-$ moc'n'roll ON!

also thanks! more pics: (I've shortend the "tail" to only one wheel.)

I did? Cool...! well: i just built - it just happend... :-$ Thanks for the feedback!

hi! I proudly present: my M:Tron Space Carriage Voyager I don't know what I've been up to, but for the first time I dismembered all my M:Tron sets and decided to moc'n'roll! I had a veeeery slow start but then finally I got the building-rhythm. Just one more thing: Sorry for the monorail supports. I didn't know how to position it right, so it won't break. Simply ignore them! Anyway: ENJOY!

you're right, you can't use your washing machine for everything... :-$ for the ironing: I put the sails / capes between two towels and then iron them (I'd say not too hot) mine are as good as new!

I'd say it's a moc. There were a lot of grey "moon buggies" in the classic space theme. anyway: my first ebay deal: 6973 Deep Freeze Defender, 8856 Whirlwind Rescue and 6984 Galactic Mediator for 21€...! (no instructions though... I just thought I've topped you but that bubble bursted...)

I can remember that I've seen a few color variations on brickshelf and on ebay (They sold well). It's new and familiar at the same time. That makes it more interesting!

my experiences: I dare washing rubber tires, metal axels, clear parts and printed pieces, but no stickers pneumatics, electrics, strings... but you don't have to trust me on this. ;-)

As I bought it, I didn't even know I would also get a box. It just said: all parts with building instructions. After opening the parcel I was like: "woah... woooaaahhh" and so on. ;-) I love LEGO-boxes because as a child I stood in the toy stores starring at the boxes, only seeing the front and the back, nothing more. This brings back some memories... :'-)

I exactly thought that today as I made the pics for my signature...! X-D At my school leaving examination I made a model in Blender3D and explained to the board of examiners how to build a car and how to animate it. It needed a color, so I took red "because all beautiful and fast cars are red..." My physics teacher contradicted. :-)

nope. the harley-truck-wheels are thinner and somewhat more modern. I do believe they're the same like in 8274. Aaaaaaaand: for a long time in my life these wheels have been the best and coolest looking I've ever had! So where's your deference? :-D recycled... |-/ X-D

hi! finally I've found the motivation to take photos of my collection! Sadly, right after I've got them, my motivation was fading and I only could do this little collage...: I scaled it down, so it kind of fits your screen... If your're interressted in a larger pic here's your link! ~8MB 3362x3786px Enjoy!

Thanks! You've just motivated me to go on a "senseless-preliminary-design-errors-hunt"...! A few things I've discovered: Left Side (Alternate Model): the steering link can only be put in place with a little violence... the handlebar (?) is turned (far more than it's actually possible) although the wheels are straight. Right Side: The 1x8 Tile simonwillems pointed out The half bush right next to it is... *can't_find_the_words* ..."wrong". Could be that the Technic Triangle is missing. The "windscreen"- 1x6 Technic Plates are mounted with 1/2 pins instead of Axle Pins with half bushes. Who can find more...? X-D

the only original stickers are the front headlight-patterns on the 2 red 1x2 bricks. The others have been destroyed - must have been the bad decaying sticker quality that breaks when you'll remove it - so I printed them. I didn't print the flag for only the alternate model needs it, although it's a neat idea...! and LordGalewind: clickey! I keep that in mind. One of my 8880 is already dusty enough!

I actually noticed that while taking it apart but didn't really pay any attention. I just thought that's because it's an old part. Well, thanks for the information!

yeah. If I rebuild and wash a model I will record it. Glad to see you liked it!

Hi! This is my third (old-school) technic set review! I don

I

absolutely awesome! I don't know your story behind. are they having a party or are they just crazy?

this one is "cute": clickey "die Katz ist nicht dabei, hat auch nie mitgespielt, war nur neugierig" means something like "no cat included, it also never played with the bricks, it has just been curious"

you can find missing parts here: clickey. but they're not "perfect" yet. You can search with the part number. Use the peeron invetory to find it out!
