"I must say that the design was very well thought out. New ideas for the tract and doors on the cab were great. Now an issue..... No numbered bags. My 11 year old grandson and I tackled this build. With over 800 parts he was taken back by no numbered bags. He said, and I quote, "This Is Not Going To Be Fun Grandpa". I ensured hi that it would and I proceeded, with his help, to sort all the pieces. He was very happy with the final product. I suggest that boxes that start the age at 10 have numbered bags. Those 16 and up, do not need to be numbered but it would be nice also."
"As a mechanical engineer I wanted to take my time building this product to be able to appreciate the designers intents. I was pleased and disappointed in some aspects of the design. Positives Chassis design Gearbox Engine detail Interior detail Paddle shifting Wheels and disc brakes Rear end detail Steering detail Box layout and instructions 3599 parts for the price Negatives Can not see engine detail Rear deck will not open Too many gaps in the body detail
As you can see from my list I have more positives than negatives. I can not wait for the next 1/8 scale super car."

"I have to say this is one of the best Technic models out in 2017. This set is very well designed with lots of features. I do not believe this truck needs to have power functions. All the static controls give it lots of hours of playability. This is one of my grand children's favorite LEGO."
