About this deal

I agree 100% that the motor should have been an option, especially if no pole reverser was going to be used.

Starting with the distribution transmission for the M-motor, you add the rear axle and chassis frame rails before moving on to booklet number 2 and all the other stuff. I would have preferred that the functions were operated via a manual crank resulting in a cheaper model, with the PF being an optional add-on. Dual-wishbone independent suspension (a little bit too hard on the rear wheels, with decent travel all-around) is found on all wheels, with the front ones steered through a hand-of-god knob behind the cabin. They mention that it's an amazing grown up game puzzle that keeps them occupied in their spare time. There are 8 control arms (new narrower size), 4 of the wheel hubs, a differential, two transmission driving rings, 4 stiff shock absorbers, 6 steering links, 4 CV joints (dogbones), and 2 of the new CV sockets (the only new parts in the set).

As a matter of interest, there are no pictures of the back of the car on either the box or in any of the marketing materials. it has 1000 or more pieces and it will take possibly over a periods of weeks or months to assemble it, depending on your time and efforts. Made with ♥ in Malmö, Sweden by Linus Bohman and friends with contributions from all over the world. I could use numbers and tell you that it is 19 inches (48 cm) long, but since a picture is worth a thousand words, why not compare it using a scale you are familiar with? I would expect most 9-10 yr olds with lego in their blood would be able to assemble this, although attention to detail is the key.

As per the usual, no B-model instructions are to be found inside the box; they’re found exclusively online *sigh*. The two parallel axles will be driven at the same rate by the motor, and the clutch gears will be used when engaged to drive the four motorized functions.The other two functions on the transmission are reserved for the doors, which is also my very favorite function.
