Very good value for money
" This was my very first Technic build. I originally wanted the Ferrari F40 but $300+ price tag was a bit out of my price range. The Porsche RSR at $149 seemed like a great deal albeit if its a tad smaller in scale.
The build itself was very satisfying and to me, the end result looks terrific. Lego does some very clever things to acheive certain design aspects of the car. Particularly the rear of the car and the air diffuser- it looks fantastic.
I found that using a very small pair of tweezers really helped me place the stickers nice and evenly. And I sorted all the parts by type in the beginning which really helped the process.
My only bit of constructive criticism is with the engine. I think its SO cool how they designed it to function with the differential. Also integrating the crankshaft within the connecting rods as seperate little pieces was very clever. Now I understand that they want you to see the engine function and I appreciate that. However, I would have loved more engine detail- perhaps valve covers and an intake manifold with an air intake, maybe even exhaust headers. I understand, then you wouldnt see the pistons moving. But it would still be so cool to know they were under all that added realistic detail. I also agree with others that the wheels could have been a larger diameter. But these are very small little observations.
All in all, this is a great entry level Technic kit and also, I must mention, Legos shipping was incredibly fast and efficient. Considering what we are all dealing with right now, I very much appreciated the people who are still working in these warehouses and allowing us to keep ourselves occupied. Thanks for all your work, Lego "
