This is a very good set, once it’s built. The steering doesn’t work as advertized. The steering range is only about 1/2 of what the picture shows, but with a small modification, it can be made to go that far. The piston is not attached directly to the rear axel as the picture leads you to believe, but is turned by two gears, one on the axel, and one on the rod that turns the piston. Once it’s built, though, it has a very low profile. It sits very low to the ground, just like the real thing. It also has a very “fast and mean” look to it, no matter what angle you look at it from. However, it is not for the begginning builder. Sometimes, Technic can be hard to work with.
In closing, good job Lego Co., they’ve produced a very nice set.

If your lego builder is ready for the next phase, be sure to grab this guy. Santa brought this one this year and, although it truly was challenging for an eight-year-old, he certainly was proud of such an accomplishment when it was finished. Those pistons inside the motor actually more up and down just like a real car, and that just is way too cool to build too. If you have a child on the younger side of things, it will take about 2 hours to build this guy but believe me, it’s worth it. I also couldn’t believe how durable this guy is compared to other Lego sets. You can actually drop this buggy on the floor from a standing poition and none of the parts will come off. Can’t beat that for play! When I asked him to build the lawnmower, I got a “No way. I’m going to enjoy all my hard work for awhile!” It’s so neat that I’m thinking about getting another set just so we can have the lawnmower too! The rotation of the steering wheel we found to be just as advertised and just super fun, expecially when you put in a Lego Batman to drive around! :) Lego outdoes themselves on these Technic series and this product is no exception. Look around for a better price too, especially the store with the r in the middle. Ours was about half of what amazon is offering. Great, great toy, great for the engineers in your life, highly, highly recommend!

My 7 year old son received this Lego Technic set for Christmas this year and has been very pleased with it. Not sure how long the pieces will remain seperate from the large box of Legos so I am unsure of the items’ use once they are in the mainstream.
