Here my first Technic Model "Go Kart 8842" in the 2012 Edition. Just for fun :-)

That looks like a pretty accurate translation to studless - very cool. Also eerily reminiscent of the older 854 go-cart that I had when I was a kid.

@ Denny: I like the side-by-side comparison between the "studded" and "studless" building styles.

ORIGINAL STUDDED 8842:

1) Looks "more like Lego"

2) Uses more parts

3) Does not look as realistic

4) Has larger engine displacement

8842 STUDLESS EDITION FROM 2012:

1) Is considerably lighter in weight

2) Has better tire grip

3) Liftarms are weaker than Technic Bricks (per Tristan Lostroh's recent Lego strength tests)

That's a great modernised version of the model.

I love how you have recreated it using the newer parts.

Thanks for sharing!

This comparison is really fascinating! You did a great job interpreting this model using modern parts.

Great work!

I loved the original, and the 2012-version seems to be no less!

I may give it a try...

That is very impressive, nice job! You managed to capture the essence of the old model and incorporate it into the new.

These recreations of old models are truly fascinating!

Now somebody needs to re-create 8466. That would be very awesome (with all the new colored gears and parts).

I like this very much for nostalgic reasons !
