![]() ![]() The tools included, although adequate, are not the best and if you have some good quality allen keys use those as the included hex screwdriver soon gets rounded corners and then damages the grubs screws making them difficult to undo especially after the application of thread lock.Ĭonstruction of the kit is done over 13 stages the parts for each stage are bagged, within each stage bag all the individual components required for that stage are also in separate labeled bags, making part identification easy. ![]() The kit comes with most of the tools you need to build it, additionally you will need long nose pliers, a small craft knife, ruler or calipers and a very small amount of superglue also some oil (grease is included in the kit).

The kit is not suitable for young children and although certainly not too difficult for teenagers, it does take a bit of patience, with some parts of the construction being repetitive and others that should definitely not be rushed.

My biggest concern when purchasing the kit was that it would not be too easy to construct as I wanted it as something to do over a Christmas holiday.īearing in mind I have never owned or built an RC car before, and therefore having nothing to compare my experience too, any comments I make are based solely on this kit and not the result of comparing it to something many times more expensive. This model is certainly at the cheap end of the market (£139.99) with the kit version being the same price as the ready to run model. I have never owned a remote control car, and to be honest, was more interested in the fun to be had in building this one than actually using it after it was built. These highlight some tips, possible pit falls and give you a chance to learn by my mistakes. I’m not a great reader myself, and didn’t expect to write so much, so for any body else who is going to see all these words and be put off reading it all just read the parts written in RED.
