Test 1: Rough terrain
Several sofa cushions, a lamp base, a real foot, ramp (50% slope): No problem. The off-roader goes over everything.
Test 2: reverse uphill
A steep ramp backwards ascend the end the car was on its front wheels and the bumper. Passed, more you have to say no more. The engine was that gravity was against it.
Test 3: Control
Reverse parking, parking forward circumnavigate obstacles: The off-roader is easy to steer. The turning circle is perfect, he does not rotate on the spot, but he goes no meter wide circle: Perfect!
The test result: Very good model! It's fun to play with it, and it looks great.
We come to the negative: You can not describe as the silence model. The produce Lego Technic motors a certain noise level is known, and because this model has three motors, it's about as loud as an electric can opener. But that should really bother anyone.
Half-negative: The model is intended only for domestic use. But: This is only for security. It harms the model not to drive a car park, a forest trail is also no problem. The only deep water or sandy driveways (eg beach) and dense undergrowth represent obstacles that can not cope with the model without upgrading.
My conclusion: it brings you! It's fun to build it, it's fun to drive it, it contains a lot of new and interesting parts and new engines and a remote control. But keep in mind that it also needs batteries: 6 AA batteries for the motor and 3 AAA batteries for the remote control.
Tip: When a block of unused battery lying around, you can also install the. This saves money for new batteries.
