Off-Road Pull Back Model Cars to Build for Kids 9-12 - 390 PCS STEM Car Building Kit for Boys 8-12 & Girls - STEM Building Toys for Boys Age 8-12 & Girls - Engineering Toys for Kids 8-10

I have a Dodge Ram and couldnt find a lego set. This was so close. I decided to paint it to match my truck, added the logos and a flag in the back. Also some light up legos for the lights. Loved this build.

Grandson loved putting this truck together.

Good product, fun to pit together.

They probably can't say this in the description. But you were probably wondering. Yes, the kit is fully compatible with LEGO. I tested with some LEGO kits and other than the missing LEGO logo on the dimples, the parts seem identical. I do a lot of LEGO kits, and I generally estimate the cost by taking the number of pieces and dividing by 10. So, a basic 390 piece LEGO kit would cost somewhere around $39.00. This kit has a lot of small pieces though, so probably a little less. Comparatively, still a reasonably good value. The kit is very sturdy when built due to the large number of “technic”-style pieces. Almost all of the pieces are secured with 2 or 3 segment pins. There are actually very few of the more traditional-style blocks. This means you can play with the car, and not worry that it's going to fall apart. On the flip-side, sometimes the pins are difficult to align/insert. I liked that the car has springy shock-absorbers. Doors and hood open/close. I wasn't thrilled with the pull-back/release mechanism. As you might expect, it doesn't work well on carpet, and will go off crashing into walls with smooth flooring.

While, this is not a Lego brand build, it is, however a great build. The pieces are very good quality and they fit well. The car has a cool feature that allows you to pull back and the car takes off. My only gripe is that some pieces are very similar and the instructions could do a better job of making distinctions clearer. You really have to look closely at all the images to make sure that you’re not using the wrong piece at the wrong time.

My son built it and LOVES it. Wants another now. Be prepared to spend a small fortune on many of these.

Great building set. My son thoroughly enjoyed building this

I really wanted to enjoy this off-road pullback model car. However, it seems that there are a few pieces missing from the set which is a disappointment and takes a lot away from the enjoyment of the product. The quality is otherwise fine. I have yet to contact the company to see if they will send the missing parts, as I lost interest in the build after this issue, but may revisit soon. With a full kit, this would be really nice for the recommended ages, and even as young as 6 or 7 with adult supervision.
