So many fond memories with this set. I mustve assembled and disassembled it dozens of times from elementary school to college.

But most of all it fed my own inventions and experimentation with parts. I knew them almost all by heart.

I think the coolest build it fed were the 6 or 7 generations of crash test cars I built to “study” how car crashes work and how to build a car that’s safe. The satisfaction you get from building a crash car to the latest design from memory then smash it into the wall from across the living room. Man that was fun.

One day I tried a rollover test and the custom wheel hub pieces broke. Now I can never rebuild the 8880 set again … sad

I wonder if the new Bugatti build comes close to the awesomeness of the 8880? Been thinking of getting that to relive some fond memories

The wheel hubs are probably available on Brinklink.

Apologies in advance for enabling your Lego addiction.
