LEGO 42095 Technic Remote-Controlled Tracked Stunt Racer Toy, 2 in 1 Race Car Model with Power Functions Motor Building Set, Racing Vehicles Collection

Little bit too expensive but still earth to buy

The media could not be loaded.  NB: THIS WORKS BEST ON CARPET, NOT GOOD FOR USE ON POLISHED FLOORS OR LAMINATEThe cat tracks in this set don't ship with the little rubber grommet grippy things that I have seen on other sets, which means it's very very very noisy and has very little traction on hard floor surfaces. I haven't tried adding grips to it, I confidently predict it will result in black rubber scuff marks all over the floor... which isn't the end of the world but probably falls foul of the DBAD principle of living with other people.I modified the design very slightly as the IR receiver module is attached in an odd way that makes it liable to fall off when moving around and fiddly to reattach (yes, I got the build right :-P) - however this can be easily fixed with spares to which everyone looking at buying this kit will have access.It's also worth adding some form of roll bar - it doesn't self-right when you roll it, but the position of the battery pack and CoG is just about low enough that this can be fixed fairly simply and solidly.Uses quite a lot of batteries (not necessarily a bad thing) - haven't run a set of Duracell ultras out yet so not honestly sure what battery life is like, but I'd say we've had at least 3hrs run time total so far and it isn't showing any sign of running down yet. I suspect that using 1.2V rechargeables won't work well as the voltage drop over 6 cells will significantly impact motor performance. Any other 9V DC supply could be trivially substituted with a soldering iron.

This is an amazing set, moves fast, builds relatively easy, sturdy (except for a few connections in the back), and very well designed.The continuous track, is also durable and makes it so much fun to use it at home. The only downside is, the track is made out of a hard plastic, and is a bit loud when used on top of hard wood or concrete.

Lego never disappoints and my son has enjoyed this model. You don’t get a right lot for your money but none of the Lego kits with electrical parts are cheap.

I love this set, and it's a steal at 70. It comes with two large motors, a controller, and a receiver. It is a proper RC car. This took about an hour to put together, and you would need 6 AA and 3 AAA batteries. It is actually bigger than I had imagined, which made it even better.But the best part? It is fast. I thought that the model, especially with the six batteries aboard wouldn't he particularly speedy. But this thing leaves my daughter's Minnie Mouse RC in the dust.This is a great set. Love it. Thanks Lego for making it affordable, if you haven't noticed, Technic sets are expensive...

Bought for my 10 year old grandson. I think it was hoped it would be difficult enough to keep him busy for a week but he finished it in 24 hours. He is very good at Lego. The end result is excellent. He loves it and Face timed us to show us all the tricks it can do with the self control. Very successful present.

The kids absolutely love this lego set. I wouldn't say it's an easy one to assemble. My boys are 10 and it kept them occupied for a good couple of hours. I think they enjoyed the challenge.One thing to watch out for is that the battery box takes three batteries in each side. They put three in the top of the box after they has finished the build and wondered why it wouldn't work. Once we'd figured this out and got it working they played with it for days.Lego is expensive these days but they are still getting a lot of play out of it.

One of my favourite models to play with. Lots of customisation and tweaks but best of all dedicated controllers that don’t need a phone or iPad so just pick up and play. I play with my 2 1/2 year old and he’s just getting the hang of it. I think it’s a shame these are being faded out.
