Summary: HEY....Nice LEGOS
Comment: I bought the dune buggy and add-on motor kit for my 9 year old daughter who grew up with all of the hand-me-down legos from her brothers. She and her 8 and 10 year old cousins (girls) have spent countless hours digging through hundreds of dollars worth of mixed together pieces from who knows how many different kits. Anyway, she said she was ready for something new; so we sat down on her birthday morning with all 872 pieces and began the assembly. It took all day (if you include the many breaks we had to take to give her little fingers a rest), but we got through it with only a couple of small hitchs. The instructions to include the add-on motor kit were a little vague, but once you realize that you have to disassemble a small part of the dune buggy to add the motor unit, it's a piece of cake. The best part of it was working together on it.....I would locate all of the pieces needed for the next step while she was putting together the current step. While she rested her fingers after each step I would double check that all was correct. After an hour or so of building I would let her go run off some of the boredom and recoop. We had great fun making mistakes and getting confused here and there and she was quite proud at the end of the day. Of course I have plans to use some of the stuff from previous kits and some old RC CAR PARTS to make it remote control, because once its together it is pretty boring. All you can do is set the steering to whatever direction you want it to go and turn it loose. If it runs into something the clutch prevents it from destroying the gears (which is good) but also there seems to be an overcurrent limiter built into either the motor unit or battery box that will shut down the motor (which is kind of a pain) because you have to turn it off for a couple of seconds to reset it. It will never be a super rugged off road rc car; BUT IT WILL be remote control with proportional steering and speed control before I am done with it. The out-of-the-box set does have some very unique and even down right amazing parts, engineering, and quality to it. This thing even has a positive track rear end, rack and pinion steering, a visible piston engine and can morph from a high rise standard looking buggy to a 4 inch longer low rider version (the morphing may prove to be a little more difficult to include in the RC I have in mind). In summary; if you sit down with someone and work together building this thing, I am sure you will think it was worth the money even if you don't have the skill to make it remote. And don't forget that after you have had your fun and admired your work; you can tear it apart and rebuild it into a very cool JEEP looking thing with a mower attachment on the back. We haven't built the second model yet but I think it will be every bit as good. LEGO should be proud !!!
