1986: Set #8035
Name: Universal Building Set
Series: LEGO TECHNIC
Ages: 7 and up
Launched: 1986

|
Instructions and pieces for five simple, imaginative models: a car with rack-and-pinion steering and a trailer; a crane with a string that you can raise and lower; a little helicopter; a gearbox; and a hand-cranked windmill. Of course, once you understand how gears work from building the five models with instructions, you can build your own mechanical creations!
LEGO TECHNIC
"Models that work just like real life."
LEGO TECHNIC is a different kind of LEGO toy -- in addition to the usual bricks, there are also gears, pulleys, cams, springs, and many other mechanical functions. Some even have pneumatic systems to control working parts, at the push of a finger! Ordinary LEGO bricks are held together with studs, but LEGO TECHNIC also use friction pins and axles to make structures rigid or flexible. The functions are more complex than LEGOLAND / LEGO SYSTEM models, so LEGO TECHNIC is for ages 7 and up. Many sets in this series come with instructions on powering your models by building in a motor, usually sold separately.
