Customer Reviews

Super Cool Car
I was amazed at how this car is designed. Lego Technics just keep getting better. It took 2 nights to get this car built with my 8 year old son. The car is very sturdy and wont lose pieces easily when played with. It has a motor to control the suspension that can raise or lower about an inch. The same motor also powers the winch. Very cool. A lever diverts power to the suspension or the winch. The instructions can be challenging. Best to sort your bricks first into containers and have a large work area. This will be one car you will want to show your friends.

good stuff
This is a very well thought through model. My son spent about 3 days putting it together. He is 12 and loves it. The model has a lot of great detail especially in the driveline. A bit pricy as all legos are, but a great model.
