LEGO Technic Remote-Controlled Stunt Racer 42095

Bought for a dad as something to do my son (11) who has Lego learning from school ,took over and built it without help (I was able to put some stickers on by finding the part and using the box) he now scares the cats around the house. Great and simple for him.

With the high power to weight ratio and the centre of mass positioned high over the rear axle this thing does wheelies during acceleration. The wheelie bar at the back works well and the low mass means it is fast, but still safe indoors. The two 16 tooth gears on either side can be changed to a 12 tooth and a 20 tooth to provide either higher top speeds or higher torque. The build is not too long, and is not repetitious, and uses some clever techniques (minifigure paint rollers for mirrors, complex angles used to mount return rollers). I bought this set for the motors, and it has made a strong case for me to leave it assembled.

I've had many technic sets over the years and have returned again now that I'm a father. the build itself was medium difficulty great for a beginner looking for a challenge. I have great fun every few days when my 2 year old invades my home office and wants to watch me play with the car (and run in terrified giggles when it comes towards him) This build rekindled my love of technic and has defiantly led to my son being curious about how things work, I couldn't have asked for a better result.

I bought this for my 3yr old and he loved to build it and he loves it! The only downside is the price, its a little bit pricey for this rc car design. (it would be worth it if this model had like a corvette or porsche body) It would be nice if all the techinc vehichle models were able to be remote controlled. A really good idea is to sell the chasis parts and have different body molds to sell.

My son loves this! He was able to construct it easily and has been playing with it for days.

I bought this LEGO for the motors. I did research the product before but was dubious because it has a screw for the battery remote which will eventually wear away in the LEGO. I ended up purchasing the product and built it. There are some issues with the design which I will improve. I got my girlfriends daughter to test it out and it showed me some flaws. The wires are not protected on the back and if smashed too much in reverse will eventually damage the wires. The wheelie mechanism on the back is flimsy and comes off when the car spins and knocks the back struts off. It should generally be a more robust build but in saying that it is a lot of fun to play with. Testing it around your pets is a hoot and it is fairly quick especially compared to the Rally Car. The complaint I received about the play was that with the tracks it could not climb but this I know is a limited build. Also if the LEGO flips the aerial may get bent or worse. I will merge another LEGO to get a better design for more damage protection.

This is a great little build with excellent play-ability. th epower to weight of this model means it looks impressive at pull offs. It offers hours of fun racing around the hallways in the house, whilst irritating the wife. Only recommendation would be some rubber studs for th e tracks, as driving on a tile floor is a challenge. Also offers a array of power-function parts for those chasing parts for MOCs.

It is a good set but when you steer it on smooth surfaces it literally has not traction, they should of have put rubber on the treads. It works best on carpet.

Bought for my son turning 7 and he was able to mostly assemble it himself. I supervised and had to help connect some parts. Being a Technics set, the connections can be hard to get to lock into place and sometimes the pieces require some extra strength. I love that it came with the battery box, remote and two motors. It is HARD to drive because the steering mechanism is like a tank and there isn't much room for moderate speeds. With a kid, and even myself, at the controls, this thing is either full speed or full stop

This one has some fundamental structure flaws, like the rear wheelie wheels are so flimsily set they come off constantly. So does the control block which is set with just two black pins to the back of the body. There is too much torque on the drive train to keep the front wheel assembly from crumbling during play and this thing does not survive crashes. We were constantly fixing it until I decided to lock the weak points in place with super glue. This is not how a working lego toy should be made. On the other hand, its appropriately powered for an RC lego Toy, unlike a certain race car.... and when not broken its a gas.
