Nice Illustrates Basic Vehicle Functions July 31, 2010

Bought this set for my six-year old daughter to help illustrate some of the things she was learning about cars from The New Way Things Work. She ended up putting it together in around two-and-a-half hours and had a lot of fun doing it. I did help her in putting on some pieces because she lacked the coordination and/or strength to do so herself and interpreted a couple of the pictures in the instructions for her, but otherwise it was all her.
While not an exceptionally accurate representation of an actual car, there's more than enough here to help illustrate such things as steering, axles, power transmission, and engine function. The highlight for both of us was the engine as it includes a piston moving in the cylinder on a crankshaft, even if it does work in reverse from the way it would in an actual go kart (of necessity the model's wheels move the piston rather than the other way round).
There is an alternate riding lawnmower model which can be built but does not make use of the engine parts (it does steer). Having built the go kart first, we decided it was too nice to take apart to build the lawnmower; perhaps we should have built the riding lawnmower first.
All-in-all a fantastic product that delivers the best bang for the buck (function and technical principles vs. cost) in the Lego Technic line.

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.
Absolutely fantastic! December 28, 2009

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!
