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.

This is a great piece from Lego Technic; I spend around 20 hours to build it, and everything works fine (all the power functions work as described in the box). I was very tired at the end but enjoyed all the assembly process; I just wish Lego would release products based on military stuff, like the M1 Abrams, that would be a remarkable Technic.

The only problem that I have, and it's actually really minor, is that Lego has this huge and almost empty box to store all the pieces and therefore the box is really fragile. My box got damaged during shipping and the blame is in one part for Lego (fragile box) and the other for the Reseller Shop4Toyz, for not adding enough padding in the box to protect the toy.

Aside from what I just said, the bottom line is that this is a great product from Lego and will buy another once there's a Technic that catches my interest.

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.
