Solid Buggy, Bad controls

" I was on the fence about getting this RC buggy with all the mixed reviews. However I finally decided to get it and I’m glad I did. It was a nice build, clear instructions, and the final product is excellent. Awesome color scheme gives a nostalgic feel for anyone growing up in the 80’s. It’s very fast and agile and built up pretty solid it could survive some crashes. The only thing I don’t like is the Control+ app as a lot of other people have mentioned. Only one stick to control everything and useless sound effects and battle mode. What I would suggest for anyone struggling with the controls is ditch the Control app altogether and use the Powered Up app instead. You can make a custom control scheme with separate throttle and steering. It only takes a few minutes to set up, there are videos on You Tube that explain how to do it. I highly recommend doing this to make this buggy a more enjoyable experience. "

Great little builds

" These Mario character packs are excellent little builds. Integrate well with the Mario starter course and look great on display as well with the NES. I bought 10 and got 6 different ones, so all in all that’s not bad. With the extra ones I ended up combining them along with some of my own pieces to build my own little scene. LEGO and Mario fans alike are sure to love these fantastic little characters. "
