I guess my only complaint would be the lack of directions. A simple diagram for how to connect the motor/switch/lights/battery pack would have been helpful. And the kit would have been a thousand times more accessible if it had come with a basic booklet giving examples of how it could be used in conjunction with the included gears/axels/joints. For a lone newbie into the world of simple mechanics and electronics, the kit's lack of instructions might be a serious limitation. But since my 7-year-old's Daddy is almost as excited as he is about Legos, the kit is exactly what was needed. :)
The quality of the entire kit (motor, battery pack, connectors and accessories) is excellent--exactly as you would expect from Lego! We look forward to many years of play and learning!
In a nutshell, my son did like this Accessory set until it the motor stopped working 4 days after purchase. Not sure why the motor stopped working, I haven't fiddled with it yet other than making sure it wasn't dead batteries.
What I did not like about this set:
-Battery Pack. I thought the battery pack was ridiculously big and heavy...who needs 4 AA batteries to power a small Lego motor? The battery pack is so heavy and the connection cord to the actual motor so short that it is very cumbersome to find a way to attach this battery pack to your Lego creation. I would like to see at least a separate option for smaller battery pack (such as 2 AAA) in the event someone only wants to power a small Lego car and not an actual life-size car.
-Motor durability. Mine broke after 4 days of light use. It was not dead batteries because I tried a fresh set of batteries and still no luck.
I do like the concept of kids taking their Legos to the next level by adding motors and gears. Would I buy this product again? The answer is no if I could find an alternative that better met my needs (smaller battery pack, more durable, etc).
I hope you found my review helpful.
If the builder isn't careful, the cables can tangle pretty easily because of the power and they twist if not mounted or weighted down very well, resulting in the cables coming disconnected. Luckily, I have my tech-y husband that can put it back together. But it does need to be handled with care.
Still wonderful to add so much creative ideas and allow to move past stationary creations. I'd recommend it. (=
