LEGO Technic 8846 was released in 1981 but was never available in the USA. It features rack and pinion steering, a ratcheting rear boom hoist, a ratcheting and pivoting wheel lift, and a winch. I had a lot of fun building it virtually, and look forward to obtaining a physical copy for myself some day.

The purpose of this series is to create more advanced models with more complex technical functions, compared to the simpler brick-building properties of normal LEGO.
