Timba

Alright, well depending on how full my hands are with building the standard model, I'll probably try to get something working eventually :) Can't wait for the set to arrive!

ah cool, yeah I tried looking for the manual of the engine itself, but apparently it's in the manual opf the 8285 :D Haha silly. Too bad it can't be used in the A model though, or can it?

Hello, first of all, I am Tim, 26 years old and I recently had to assemble my old Lego because my mother wanted to sell it (probably not going to happen anymore). I found it a lot more enjoyable than I imagined it would be, so I decided to buy a newer lego set. I decided to buy the 8285, simply because I think it looks very good. Although most people here feel like it doesn't have enough functions and stuff, for a newtimer like me I think it'll be fine. The set is being delivered tomorrow, and the guy I bought it from also included an engine, the 8287. I asked him about it and he said he never used it because there was no manual included of how to get it in there. He never really searched for a guide on the internet because (I think) he suffers from dyslexia. So I tried looking for a manual of some kind but all i could find was this shady website where I had to download an .exe file to download the manual.. I even tried it, had to peel my eyes for about 10 minutes to avoid spam and unnescecary stuff and in the end.. no manual. http://www.brickinstructions.com/lego_instructions/set/8287/Motor_Set was the page. So well basically, does anybody here know where I can find a manual?

Thanks in advance to anybody trying to help me :)
