Multi Model Control Set


I have only ever seen one of these sets in any of the shops I have been to in the last few months so I assume that it is becoming quite rare. Since this set if designed to make several different models, compromises have to be made and you find yourself with nearly half the pieces left over after making up the main model, a buggy with 'remote' control. The set contains a standard motor and a micro motor (which reacts far too slowly to steer the buggy successfully) and lots of other useful parts that will make this a useful set for spare parts and building bigger models.

Update: I have now built one of the other models (the strange fork lift truck pictured bottom right in the full size picture). It make great use of the micro motor to switch between the three uses of the main motor, ie to raise the arms, to move the truck (four wheel drive) and to steer it (which is done by providing drive to the right side wheels). It really is quite a fun model to put together and makes clever use of the micro motor and Technic gears, hence the extra point from 6 to 7.

Score: 7/10
