K’NEX Imagine – 4WD Crusher Tank Building Set – 249 Pieces – Ages 7+ – Engineering Educational Toy

I have always loved K'nex because of how great it is at helping kids working on their imagination and but also with fine motor skills and sensory skills. This game was no exception. Building the tank was really neat! I enjoyed that the most . Then the pieces that go with it add to the excitement. The pieces go together easily and they stay together once they're connected without fear of separation. I would definitely recommend this product to my friends and family.

I received this K'nex 4WD crusher tank Building set through the Spark Reviewer Program. Upon opening, this toy had multiple bags of parts and the directions. The directions allow 3 different tanks to be built. Our 7 year d was able to build this with help from an adult. It took about an hour to build and we were very happy with the result. We built a course for it to climb over. It rolled over all our debis very well. We are very pleased with this toy.

This is a great idea but is missing a lot of key ideas. The instructions were very limited and only provided directions to one of three different models. The tank only goes forward or backwards and doesn't stop when running into objects and then breaks when it does. This would be a great idea if it were a remote controlled tank so you hand more control over it.

I received my order on time and delivered in great condition. My grandson is 3yrs old , the game says the child needs to be 7yrs to play the game. . I will definitely keep it until he has reached that age.He likes putting things together. I know he will love this game too.

It was a little confusing and a little overwhelming at first, my son loves to play with Legos and Mrga Bloks this time the shape and amount of pieces was really big.. but if you take your time and read the intruccions and see the pictures with details it's amazing once you start seeing the results... my son loves it and we can spend all day building so it like a smart way to spend time and learn together.

I am reviewing the K'NEX IMAGINE, 4 WD Crusher Tank Building Set. This set is rated for children 7-12 yrs of age. YOU WILL NEED TO HAVE 2 AA BATTERIES, THEY AREN'T INCLUDED. This set has 249 mostly very tiny pieces. I would NOT recommend doing this in an area where very young children are nearby, and please make sure that you have a large area in which to set out all the pieces in groupings, as well as to build your choice of toy, as this set gives you an illustrated booklet that guides you three different toys. Some of the pieces are very easy to loose so keep that in mind. Of course, I'm an adult and have spent many many years putting together all sorts of toys for my children and grand children as well, so I am approaching this from that perspective :) The motor has a secure area within it that has a tiny screw that will require a small screw driver to open it to add or change the batteries. Again, as with most toys, you will need to obtain your own batteries. The motor unit has an off/forward/backward sliding switch. Now, I built the first choice that was shown in the book. As I said I am well familiar with building toys, bikes, etc. and following instructions. Even so, it took me approximately an hour to build to completion. I then turned the motor on and it did run both backwards and then forwards as I changed the switch to those designations. It was a sense of accomplishment seeing it roll forwards and backwards, after all of that work. It was a wee bit tricky and a tiny bit painful on my fingertips to try and get my adult hands into the very small spaces so I could snap the parts where they were required. I imagine children would have a bit of an easier time of it, although I'm not positive about the hand and finger strength that was required to completely connect the tiny parts to one another. However, I do like the bright colors and attempt to make them more military in color and design. I really liked this toy and can definitely see any child of the ages of 7-12 or even older, enjoying this toy. I also think it would be a great way to teach patience, as well as to capture a child's interest for at minimum of an hour or more :)

My kids always love Knex toys. They are free range to create whatever they want. Its a great way to teach engineering fundamentals. I wish Knex was compatible with LEGOS as they would complement each other. Otherwise, a great buy and always impressed.

This is a cool science set to learn a little about motors and how motors transfer energy/movement to tracks and wheels. I wish it looked more like a tank. My kiddo would be more interested in it if it did. However, between the pieces in this set and her other k'nex machine sets, she should have enough pieces to build something on her own. She loves other brick based building sets, but having the ability to make things with more moving parts will be more fun for her. I wish k'nex and brick-building kits where compatible so she could combine both. She will have fun with this, but had I not gotten it free thru Spark review program, I would not have bought it. It's fun, but has room to improve.

I find K'nex items more challenging than Lego...Legos have one basic attachment style but K'nex requires more thought and more moves...It also requires more careful following of the directions and pictures...In my opinion this kit is more for older kids, as it takes some concentration and direction following, to create the final product like it is on the box...The box states it's for ages 7-12 yrs old...and it has 213 pieces..This set did take my son quite a while to construct and he did become a lil frustrated when trying to but the tracks together....which he said where difficult to put together...It's a great kit, that requires a bit of patience...

Just seeing how my 9-year old son put this together is amazing. I can actually see how he thinks and put things together. If you are going to give your child a fun but challenging toy, the K'nex 4WD Crusher Tank Building Set is the right one. The K'nex 4WD Crusher Tank Building Set is a small toy to put together so you do not have to lay out all the pieces on the floor. The K'nex 4WD Crusher Tank Building Set can be put together at the table. I was just amazed at how well kids can distinguish shapes, colors, parts, etc.and simply put them in order of assembly. I do not know if my son has a knack for engineering things but he seems to be showing promise on how accurately he can put things together. As a precaution, there are a lot of small parts and pieces to the K'nex 4WD Crusher Tank Building Set so please keep smaller children away. The K'nex 4WD Crusher Tank Building Set comes with a very easy-to-read assembly manual with lots of pictures as guides. All the parts matched and connected together easily. The parts snapped together so there is no gluing or taping involved. The K'nex 4WD Crusher Tank Building Set comes with a motor but unfortunately, it did not come with batteries. The last part of the assembly adds the motor to run your K'nex 4WD Crusher Tank so you need to get two AA batteries for the tank. After assembly, my son put the tank to the test. He placed the K'nex 4WD Crusher Tank on different terrains – grass, gravel, soil, and of course carpet inside the house. The K'nex 4WD Crusher Tank worked very well. I was expecting the parts to fall off, the tracks to derail, or pieces to snap off but the K'nex 4WD Crusher Tank was put together perfectly. I enjoy seeing my son play with the tank. I kind of reminded him of a great job he did assembling the tank. I believe that he realized that all the work that he put in to assemble the K'nex 4WD Crusher Tank paid off. I think the K'nex 4WD Crusher Tank Building Set is a great toy to inspire imagination, cooperation (if building with a friend) and rewarding. Overall, I am completely happy and satisfied with the K'nex 4WD Crusher Tank Building Set. Just seeing how my son enjoys playing the 4WD Crusher Tank is enough for me to say that this is a great toy. I highly recommend the K'nex 4WD Crusher Tank Building Set to all. Buy it, try it, or give it as a gift. This one is definitely a winner.
