4.0 out of 5 stars Smaller than expected, September 19, 2009

This was purchased for my 8 year old son. It was smaller than I imagined, but still worthwhile. We made the car, and it fits in the palm of my son's hand. He did need some help assembling it, and will most likely need assistance to change it from one configuration to another. It seem at bit on the fragile side, so it is better for solo play than with friends. He really likes that it is solar, but if it does not have direct sun or strong indoor light, it doesn't have enough power to move. Now the child want a solar flashlight to shine on his solar car.

2.0 out of 5 stars Didn't work, very small parts, November 17, 2009

My 6 year old had fun putting the peices together and making the different items, but was disappointed when the solar module didn't power the engine. The connections are not very durable, apparently, the system is set up this way so that it can be modular when you make the other "kits". The wiring is connected via springs that you slip the wiring through. We tried everything, including soldering the wires in certain places so they wouldn't come off....Nothing worked. Would have been a good kit had the little engine and wiring been of a better quality and if everything would have been a bit bigger (would have been easier to work with the critical parts)...Great concept, but due to quality, would not recommend to anyone....
