Build the gears loose!
" To start, I’ve been building LEGO for a long time but even then all the comments about a finicky elevator system gave me trepidation. I purchased this set to build with my 7yo leading up to Halloween. When it came time to install the gears for the elevator I made sure EACH gear would spin freely after installation. I also followed the exact number of chains required (74+75). The elevator worked on the very first build via manual crank. The elevator also works fine with the (sold separately) motors but does require App re-calibration often. Overall my son is happy with the set and has had a lot of fun playing out his imagination on it.

Great design, great value
" This is my first Speed Champions set as it’s the first design from the series that I really liked. I was not disappointed. The car looks fantastic from all angles and it will look great among all my Creator modular sets.
Some sticker advice: if you’re very particular about sticker placement like I am, I suggest leaving the car body and headlight stickers until the end of the build. That way you can align them much better to match the surrounding parts/colours. Connect the two separate headlight stickers to avoid a gap. I would not follow the manual’s placement (usually to center the sticker on the brick).
Second suggestion, yes the roof will not fit over the driver if you use the hair piece (instead of the helmet). You can ‘cheat‘ by replacing the legs with two flat 1x2 bricks. Looks just fine from the outside.
