For a seventy-quid-ish Lego set this buggy-tank-thing is a little on the small side, with only 85 steps needed to build it, but it’s the power functions that bump up the value. 6 AA batteries (not included) can provide a surprisingly rapid wheel spin that makes this thing race along the floor at a surprising pace- certainly faster than the Lego Batmobile remote control thing we built last year. On its plastic caterpillar track it rattles and clinks its way at speed into furniture, feet, pets, anything!It zips along so fast that, thanks to the rear wheel drive and back-heavy weighting, it really does do wheelies a lot of the time. The caterpillar track doesn’t get a lot of grip on polished wooden flooring so it skids quite a bit as well.This isn’t a precision-driving machine, like a Big Trak or (to a lesser extent) the more easily controllable Lego Boost 17101, or anything like that- this is a bash-and-crash, wheel-spin-friendly fun toy, and there’s no shame in that.It’s built like a tank and will withstand a full speed hard impact into a wall. It’s very durable, save for a couple of the details- such as the wing mirrors or the aerial, which perhaps not coincidentally are the most vulnerable bits on full-sized vehicles as well.The instructions also contain a rare case of an error- in step 52 you’re told to attach the cable from the receiver to the main battery pack, yet in step 51, it’s shown already attached. Errors in Lego instructions are quite rare so my daughter was quite pleased to spot this one, strangely enough. Otherwise it took under three hours to build and didn’t afford much of a challenge, but it did provide an opportunity to do a quick physics lesson while we were at it.Down the line I’m sure that we’ll end up borrowing the battery pack, the receiver and the motors from this and using it to build our own design instead- it might even be possible to extricate the power function bits and keep the chassis of this mostly intact, but I haven’t tested it. A remote control powering Lego motors is always very welcome of course.It does seem just a touch pricey for what you get, but most of that is really the power functions. If you like building, but you also like a bit of bashing and crashing- or there’s a younger brother involved who’ll get a lot out of that- then it should be a bit of a hit.

Normally when Lego comes in to my house, it's for my 6 and 8 and 3/4 year old nephews, who are both Lego fiends. But this time, their Dad flat out refused to let them have the build, laying claim to it for himself. He loved the look of this set... and hasn't stopped loving it now that it's built!The build is a middling difficulty, with 86 steps to it - making this on the easier side for a larger Technic set. My brother opted to make the main build stunt racer, and he and the boys haven't yet decided to take it down and build the alternate racer (non-stunt/can't do wheelies) - the instructions for which can be downloaded from the Lego website. (Unusually the alternate build seems slightly more complicated than the main one,with 91 steps). The battery pack for the car goes in mid-way through the build. At some point, needing to open this back up to replace the batteries will probably end up being what stimulates making the alternate build. The colours are great - vibrant and in keeping with the stunt racer/racer theme.It took a 39 year old experienced Lego builder a little under 2 hours to complete - with significant interruptions from the kids, who were a bit nonplussed by the idea of Daddy's Lego! Based on past constructions, my older nephew (who's an experienced Lego-er, and very patient with assembly instructions) could probably have managed this with minimal assistance.Something they have found about this in use is that the car does a wheelie whenever they start using the remote. It doesn't seem to matter how lightly they use the controls, or who's controlling it - there's always this unintended little wheelie. Goes really quickly and spins well on tiled and textured laminate flooring.Overall - a relatively straightforward Technic build that produces a very satisfying remote controlled vehicle, appealing to both older and younger generations of family members!

I'm a huge fan of LEGO, especially Technic, which I have loved ever since I was given the original Technic helicopter back in 1979 or thereabouts. I still buy and build a lot of Technic sets, particularly the larger, more complex models.The relatively high price tag of this set might well lead you to believe this is one of those, but it isn't. This is one of the newer breed of Technic sets which have started to appear in recent years which prioritise appeal to younger children, and for which the aim seems to be a quick build of something to play with once built, rather than something which is an enjoyable building experience.These sets also tend to make minimal use of the more interesting Technic elements such as gearboxes and clutches.The high price of this set is due to the power functions components - two motors, a switch, a battery box and a remote control. These enable you to build a remote-control tracked buggy which can be steered, moved back and forward, rotated etc. But this means that you get relatively few actual components - a couple of hundred at most, of which the majority are pins and track elements. I'm an experienced Technic builder, but even so, this took me well under 45 minutes to build from scratch.If what you want is a remote-control buggy which has a degree of buildability - but which won't frustrate the child who is desperate to play with the buggy, then this is probably just what you want. But if you are a fan of actually building LEGO, and learning about mechanics from the use of Technic components, this set really isn't for you, and the enjoyment you derive from it will not be reflected in the high price tag.As long as you know what you are buying - a quick build experience and then something to play with when assembled - then this is fine. But a "serious" Technic fan may want to look elsewhere.

This is an interesting set - and you get a nice remote controlled vehicle at the end. This isn’t though either a technically challenging build nor one that exposes you to much engineering - it’s pretty much a remote control unit around drive elements.What you do get in a reasonably priced package is the infrared remote, the battery box, controller and a few motors - which can be useful for other sets.This is the ‘older’ remote unit, which uses infrared - some lego sets now use Bluetooth. The infrared doesn’t have the same range and you need a degree of directional consideration BUT you barely notice this and it works straight away - having used the Bluetooth units, while they offer more depth,they’re much more fiddly to set up - so this is a good choice in this unit.I personally am not a fun of tracked models - nothing to do with how they look, but I just find the repetitive task of putting together the tracks somewhat boring and also oddly painful due to the way you have to do it - a personal thing, but i much prefer big wheels!This is an easy build really - and in keeping with other lower end recent Technic models you get a robust and easy to play with toy at the end - this is not a model that needs to stay on a shelf.You learn different things from these models - no where near the same engineering principles as the big sets, but nonetheless still some good basic concepts.If you want a quick build with a quality enjoyable toy at the end, that also gets you access to additional power components for you own builds, then this hits the mark.If looking for more engineering, look at the higher priced sets which combine both depending on the model.

It's hard not to love LEGO because it is a wonderful antidote for children spending too much time stuck in front of computer screens. This product has me in two minds, really.On the one hand unlike the ancient stuff I had as a child back in the 1970's this is a very targeted build more like a single build hobby remote control car than a product that is designed to be made, taken apart and then remade by a child using their imagination. There's no doubt that it's a great bit if kit but, does it really allow for extended game play? Not sure.But, the world has changed and children expect to be able to make something better than the multicoloured blocky things that I made as a child. This is progression,I guess and a natural process. I played with Lego Technic as a child but my grandfather would have had practically nothing apart from wooden tops and old pram wheels.This set does allow a child to make something fun, interesting and of course great to look at. Which my test subject, my nephew, did very willingly. At 10 he made this with no difficulty and of course loved the fact that it did things, i.e. moved and was controllable.And despite my early misgivings about this being a 'one hit wonder' he already has buckets of LEGO parts and then included motors and controllers can be re-purposed which, is what it's all about. By itself it's slightly limited but with more bricks you have a much better chance of the child remaking this into something else.So to sum up. Expensive - as all LEGO is, easy to build, limited but if you already have a bit of LEGO, perfect for being able to make many more things.

NB: THIS WORKS BEST ON CARPET, NOT GOOD FOR USE ON POLISHED FLOORS OR LAMINATEThe cat tracks in this set don't ship with the little rubber grommet grippy things that I have seen on other sets, which means it's very very very noisy and has very little traction on hard floor surfaces. I haven't tried adding grips to it, I confidently predict it will result in black rubber scuff marks all over the floor... which isn't the end of the world but probably falls foul of the DBAD principle of living with other people.I modified the design very slightly as the IR receiver module is attached in an odd way that makes it liable to fall off when moving around and fiddly to reattach (yes, I got the build right :-P)- however this can be easily fixed with spares to which everyone looking at buying this kit will have access.It's also worth adding some form of roll bar - it doesn't self-right when you roll it, but the position of the battery pack and CoG is just about low enough that this can be fixed fairly simply and solidly.Uses quite a lot of batteries (not necessarily a bad thing) - haven't run a set of Duracell ultras out yet so not honestly sure what battery life is like, but I'd say we've had at least 3hrs run time total so far and it isn't showing any sign of running down yet. I suspect that using 1.2V rechargeables won't work well as the voltage drop over 6 cells will significantly impact motor performance. Any other 9V DC supply could be trivially substituted with a soldering iron.

My daughter was given a previous Lego Technic tracked racer (42065) for Christmas and had a great time building it over an afternoon. So much so that she asked for another. I’m a a dad who was reintroduced to Lego a few years ago via Technics and became hooked, much to my surprise, so we have sallied forth working together on a big Technic kit.But these smaller kits are a lot of fun and with quick results, give the builder rapid satisfaction at seeing the finished item do its stuff. This kit was just as much fun as the previous and, as with all Technic kits, the instructions are clear but require you to pay attention. Mistakes can however be corrected, albeit a little taking parat with usually be required.All parts were present and fitted perfectly.Yes, the kits with power functions are not cheap but just as much fun was had with this compared to an equally expensive afternoon at the imax....and you can take the finished vehicle apart and build a different machine using instructions online. The best bit is that it it a brilliant r/c ehicle with independent forward/reverse functions for each track. And it can operate on any one of three radio channels so you can race more than one vehicle.....the cats in the house are having minor nervous breakdowns as my daughter and I race this and the earlier vehicle.In summary, a kit especially suited for someone new to Technic or a younger member of the family...a great alternative to a ready made r/c vehicle. Easily recommended.

Our family loves Lego. I have two Lego mad Children, I myself love Lego and my Husband has recently discovered a love for Technic.My Husband thoroughly enjoyed this build and our Children have enjoyed playing with the finished stunt racer.As usual from Lego the instructions were straightforward and easy to follow and he has currently built the Stunt Racer but does plan to build the Racer model too at some point as this is a 2-in-1 model.The set has 324 pieces along with some small spares and does have 18 stickers to attach carefully.Once built the Stunt Racer measures 23cm long by 16cm wide by 18cm high to the top of the fishing rod aerial as I have measured it.I love how Lego think of ingenious ways to use Lego parts to create other things such as the use of the fishing rod to look like an aerialOnce built you simply move the switch on the side to the on position and the stick controls on the controller operate one track wheel each and you can drive the Stunt Racer forwards, backward, left and right. The Stunt Racer goes at a pretty decent speed too and is lots of fun to drive.As usual from Lego a brilliant build and this is suitable for those aged 9 and over.

With only 324 pieces and that includes sixty for the two tracks, this is what I would call a junior Technic kit so it's easy to build and then get on with the fun of wheelies, zooming across the living room floor and climbing over small obstacles. Very impressive acceleration, especially with new batteries.Instruction forty-four requires the installation of six AA batteries in the power-pack and the instructions continue to the end at eighty-six. A spread at the back of the instruction book has seven illustrations showing how to easily remove the battery-pack and then remove or replace the batteries.My grandson and I built it in about three hours,a slight delay with instruction sixty-six because the illustration wasn't quite clear but as the pieces are repeated on the other side of the vehicle, instruction seventy-three, where the illustration was much clearer. Other reviewers have mentioned the rather high price for this Technic kit, I would agree but it does include two motors (one for each track) a receiver and a remote (that takes three AAA batteries) so there is plenty of scope to make additional models.

Thanks. Very fun build. I can't get over this little cars power and spunk. So fun to play with after being so fun to build. Makes me want to buy the big expensive rollar coaster, because I believe it will be as much fun in both aspects. My first RC Lego kit 8376 was so much fun that I wore out two of the gray pins that held the wheelie bar wheels in place and as a result lost a wheelie bar wheel. I also have lost another wheel. A big one. From set 8649 I can't find step 30 parts, nor the wheel. The older lego sets didn't give you part numbers of individual parts. So I can't even order what I need to refurbish these kits. These were also very fun to build as I recall.One of the greatest things about lego instructions is when you don't even know what part of the car your building until it all comes together.

My husband is a big fan of Lego and mostly works with the Technic range as he’s an engineer and that is the most appealing style to him.My 4-year old is also really enjoying Lego now that he is old enough to help his dad and to build a few of the easier ones himself too.So this particular set is my husbands really, and he really enjoyed building it and getting the Power Function and remote all up and running.We have lots of these Technic sets, and subsequently have quite a few motors etc, which means that you can go off-piste a bit with your own inventions as well as building the actual design that is in the set.Great fun and fairly challenging - perfect for a rainy Sunday afternoon in theautumn or winter!5 stars.

Far more useful set to obtain 2 large motors, remote control, RF receiver and battery box, than the current supplementary motor set with 1 medium motor and battery box. As well as the provided model build which is fun to play with, can use all the elements to motorise and remote control your own models. Finally, if you manage to get a discount off the RRP works out similar to buying all the individual parts separately from Lego store, as well as getting useful Lego pieces including the new large track wheel gears. Only downside is Lego is switching to power up motors and Bluetooth tablet control,but unlikely this model will be replaced with this new technology until next year and then will be far more expensive anyway.

I enjoyed assembling this set. Was easy, although I almost placed the yellow back rims in the front. Have a small star screwdriver available. This is to remove the screw from the remote control box to insert the batteries. Instructions dont mention a screwdriver.Once completed I enjoyed playing with this stunt racer. Even possible to do wheelies, the nose lifts up, racer continues just on it's two back wheels.The method of control is not via blue tooth but with a hand held controller which contains batteries.In conclusion it's a lovely set, enjoyable to assemble. I was surprised at how fast the racer moves, gave me lots of fun. Well worth the investment.

I felt this product is a little too pricey for the build experience, having so few parts. Over 60 pieces are just the tracks themselves. I was at first disappointed because I usually buy Technic sets for complicated gear sets and assembly, but the appeal of this kit is not the build but playing with it afterwards. It's a lot of fun and is enjoyable by both adults and children. Also this is a durable build given this thing will most likely slam into furniture and probably down a flight of stairs and doesn't fall apart easily. Hopefully Lego might do more remote controlled products like this, but still I feel this is kit is priced a little too high.

With the high power to weight ratio and the centre of mass positioned high over the rear axle this thing does wheelies during acceleration. The wheelie bar at the back works well and the low mass means it is fast, but still safe indoors. The two 16 tooth gears on either side can be changed to a 12 tooth and a 20 tooth to provide either higher top speeds or higher torque. The build is not too long, and is not repetitious, and uses some clever techniques (minifigure paint rollers for mirrors, complex angles used to mount return rollers). I bought this set for the motors, and it has made a strong case for me to leave it assembled.
