This was a Christmas gift for my 10 year old great nephew. He’s obsessed with it. Loves building different construction vehicles and controlling it with a phone. It’s his favorite gift this year. Thanks for making such a fabulous toy for kids that are mechanically inclined.

Great set- Not for 8-12 year olds. More like 12+

I bought this set for my 8 year old. He loves to build, thought this would be perfect. The box states 6+. Definitely not. He is 9 and had a hard time. The directions are confusing. Some of them were wrong and we had to adjust. The pieces are small and don’t fit together all that well we struggled a bit with the connections. It took us 3 hours in total. This is a set for older kids. 12+. Would be a better age suggestion

Got this for my kid who loves building with plastic bricks.
I thought the tracks might have been rubber but it’s still the same hard plastic. Comes with a nice sticker sheet and a small lipo to run the motor. might add a different lipo for longer run time and maybe more voltage

I got this building block set for my 2 boys ages 4 and 5 and they have fun with it. Keeps them entertained. This set has over 400 peices I would recommend you get a small little bin to have them kept in or else they make a mess if them in the room. Great gift for a young boy !

My father and I have started building the biggest project in this kit, we’ve worked on it on 2 occasions, but still have not finished it. It is time consuming, but mostly for 2 reasons. The instruction manual isn’t super super clear, the photos are a little small, so if you’re looking at it, it may be hard to tell the exact spacing between pieces. And also, because there are so many pieces it can be hard to find the correct pieces throughout them all. I also noticed that there are not really any spare pieces, which could be detrimental to a project if you lose one of the small ones. Thankfully we haven’t lost any pieces that we are aware of. With these flaws it is still an excellent item, and I would recommend it to kids and adults with Lego technic experience.

A great project with a parent to help

This kit is probably best suited for those closer to the top of that 8-12 age range, but it makes for a fun project between a child and parent to work on together even for younger children. And when you’re done you have remote controlled vehicles! Lots of options, the pieces are fairly sturdy, well worth the money for what you get.

Like Technic but better price

This is a nice construction set for a young kid. This is just like LEGO Technic but at a better price. The instructions are very detailed pictures. My son put together all three models in one weekend. One issue is that there are 2 black gears and it is difficult to tell which one to use from the small picture. My son used the wrong one multiple times and things didn’t fit together later on in the build. Luckily he was able to take it apart just enough to change out the gear. It would be better if that was noted better in the instructions. The remote control works well. It has good speed with the excavator and the snow plow. It drives very slow with the robot. With the excavator, the top half rotates too easily when driving it and it makes it difficult to know which way is forward. Each model has its own manual functions like lifting the bucket or arms with a lever and gears. There is an app that allows you to drive it with the phone instead of the controller, but the app is not on the official app stores. I’m sure it is fine, but it should be an official app.

The instructions were ridiculous and very frustrating. I don't recommend buying this.

Bought this for my almost 10 year old. I had to help him with a lot of it as some of the directions were hard to determine the correct step. It would have helped a lot if the parts were bagged up in sections. More so like the Lego brand does. A lot of the small parts look similar but are different making it more difficult to put together. Once it was together though he did enjoy the toy.

Full of good pieces for LEGO Technic

While there are some useless parts meant for decoration (assuming you actually build the excavator), there are plenty of very useful LEGO Technic parts in this kit if you just want a bunch of standard pieces for cheap. The tolerances aren’t as good as official LEGO, meaning studs can get stuck and need teeth/pliers to pull out, but overall it is a good value for what you get.

Fun and educational

I got this for my nephew and he has really enjoyed this kit while not realizing he is also learning. He has been able to do most of it by himself, but has needed some guidance here and there on some of the more complex steps. This is a great alternative to the big name brand.

Controller melted when I put batteries in it
Joe Bearden

December 11, 2022

Build quality appeared good, put the batteries in to test the power box and started to assemble the model. Came back halfway through and the control module was HOT. The batteries melted into the box. Obviously some kind of short inside the box. Be careful with this thing. If I hadn’t come back so soon, there probably would have been a fire.

Mostly Pluses. Some Minuses.

We have a very smart 7 year old that loves these types of . He has built several Lego Technic sets on his own in the past so we wanted to see how he fared with this.

The pieces are packaged very well. The box even converts into a sorter which is a very nice touch.

The quality of the materials is very good and comparable to Lego Technics, so much so that if you intermixed the two, besides for minor nonfunctional details, you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.

The toy allows you to build 3 different configurations. We decided to build the excavator configuration. The difficulty level may be a little higher than the listed 6+ (the ad says 8+ but the package says 6+) as the 7 year old had trouble with it and needed a lot of adult assistance. And he built the Lego Technics jeep pretty much by himself. Instructions are very detailed and on par with Lego instructions using clear quality photos. There were a couple steps I thought they missed in the instructions but learned later to follow their instructions in detail in order to avoid undoing the extra steps we took.

Not a total negative on the product, but we expected the remote to control some of the excavator actions but it only controls forward and reverse action for each track independently. The actual excavator bucket control and rotation on the track base are manual controls. They work well enough on their own. We did not try the app for Bluetooth control so that may be allow remote control of the excavator bucket.

Overall this is a very well built, very challenging toy and good value, especially when compared to comparable Lego products. But you may find this to be too much of a challenge for younger children or kids that don’t have a passion or focus needed for these types of activities. I suggest buying this for children over 8 as stated in the description and ignoring the 6+ that is on the box.

Great gift idea for that builder in the family

Great toy to really stimulate the brain for building. My 10 year old spent some good time putting it together and driving it around. Would make a great gift for kids, small parts though so I wouldn’t recommend for smaller kids.

This set provides 3 build methods and is really great for kids. The recommended age of 6 and up may need to be revised to 8 and up as some instructions are confusing and the app remote is a bit confusing to learn how to use. Overall, a great set for kids!

My son loves Lego and Technic so I assumed he would like this one. He loved it. He was super happy to receive it and put it together. The RC aspect is solid, and it works.

The instructions are clear, and the set is fun to put together. The only recommendation I have is pay attention to the stickers need to be applied to the pieces. The instructions list label application in a separate area from the build instructions. This can make for backtracking if you aren’t careful. But this is a minor issue. I certainly recommend you give this set a try.

Ordered for my son to spend some quality time together. Product is packaged in an attractive box with pictures of the three models that can be built. Great presentation if you would like to give as a gift. Everything was accounted for in the box and was packed neatly. No missing parts. Instructions were easy to follow. All the pieces fit well together. No rough edges and the coloring was solid and without mistakes. After picking the excavator model and we finished putting it together, all the controls worked. Wonderful time spent together with my son. I would definitely recommend this product for boys or girls of any age from 6 on up.

Remote AND App control, Just as good as instructions as the Big name, slightly lighter pieces

Considering Technic Stem by LEGO are supposedly being discontinued by the end of this year, this is a great alternative. The plastic pieces are decent quality; they seem lighter plastic than LEGO but I can’t find an scenario where that would really matter for the integrity of the toy. The instructions look almost identical to LEGO’s step by step directions. If you have kids who are accustomed to LEGO this will be easy to follow. This set can be operated through an app and the remote control which makes this worth the price. Yes, there are similar priced Technic … but at this price they never have motorized remote/app control with them, so for that addition this is well priced. I’ve got a very happy boy.

Extremely fun to play with if you can get it assembled.

As mentioned in the headline, it’s fun to play with. You have the option of using the controller that’s there or the app on your phone. The excavator is agile for it’s weight and moves pretty quickly. There are three different ways to build it, so it’s cool that you can extend the value of it if you choose to do so. The instructions could’ve been better, as we had to take some guesses on if we were correct or not. The instructions could’ve benefited from more zoomed-in images on a few of the steps. Outside of that, I think that this is a super fun toy! The kids loved and it and it was even fun for me, as an adult!

Solid building toy with a couple caveats

My overall impression of this toy is positive. The pieces are constructed well and seem to fit together well. The build process is a bit challenging but I think the suggested age range of 8+ is appropriate. My kids are pretty good with building and spatial reasoning and the youngest gets distracted before completing builds of this scale. The older (9 yo) has enough focus and stamina for this build but still benefits from adult help to make sure the instructions are followed correctly if trying to build one of the projects. The instructions are clear though lengthy. I thought it was a nice touch that the box turns into a part sorting tray since there are so many pieces and maintaining some sense of organization definitely helps your build process.

There are two motorized points that can each rotate either forward or backward. This lets you drive and turn easily using the included remote control. I did not try the app since the controller works just fine for us. The path programming for the app is interesting and possibly a minor step towards programming concepts. With the included gears and basic parts, you can use this device to teach more advanced control and motion concepts to the kids by positioning the rotating axis in different positions in the final build.

I know the kids will get plenty of use out of this, both playing with the finished builds from the instructions and also building other things. I think their tag line of “A highly rewarding build experience” is appropriate. There’s challenge and depending on your little one’s patience may be some big frustrations but at the end of the day it’s a pretty satisfying experience to construct a toy like this and then have it move.

To make it even better I would love an additional rotating axis so that you could control driving around and add some additional component motion that was independently controller. Overall this is a good value with a discount applied especially.

Great Fun!

This is a great building activity with my 7 year old son. The instructions are similar to those found with lego building sets. My son doesn’t really do well with legos instructions so I knew he would need my help. But it’s still an awesome activity even though I did most of the work. I’m hoping this will spark his interest in building other things. In the end, it’s a pretty cool toy once finished!

Fun project! But the kids are going to need help.

This is a fun building toy for kids. It does have a ton of pieces and it’s a little bit complex. The kids liked it but needed a lot of help. It’s fine for them to play with after and they can run it on their own, but just beware that an adult will need to help out.

This is an EXCELLENT STEM set similar to some more well known kits. My 11-year-old LOVES it and spent an entire evening assembling one of the designs. He is beyond pleased with it, and had no complaints (aside from the frustration from separating, organizing and trying to find specific pieces, which is standard for sets like this).

Overall, an excellent gift or purchase for a tween or teenager. I attached a video of his created project (excuse the messy floor, it was a rainy day and I have two big dogs).

Challenging machine to build, but worth the effort

Instructions are well written, easy to understand. Younger kids will probably need an adult’s help in putting their machines together. Parts seem sturdy, but there are lots of pieces (430), and the pieces are very tiny. This could be a downside for some kids, but gives the young engineers more pieces to work with and they can make several different machines with the set. The remote control works well and makes it lots of fun.

A quality toy

I was quite impressed with the overall quality of this kit. Packaged well. High quality instruction booklet. Plastic pieces were solid, nicely finished and bagged. This will provide hours of entertainment, and the kiddos might learn something if they don’t watch out. Elementary programming possible with the app. Can’t wait to play with it more at Christmas.

Fun for a small father-son project

I enjoyed building this with my son. I am giving it 4 stars, just due to the fact that it was missing one piece (literally piece #1). I am very confident that I did not lose the piece, as I immediately opened each bag and placed the pieces in the different compartments in the box.

The instructions are easy to follow, and you get better at interpreting them as you go. I will definitely order more similar items. I think it is a very good bang for the buck and you/your kid get a sense of satisfaction when you build something and then get to interact with it afterwards (unlike the typical stationary legos/kits that do not incorporate motors in the builds).

Fun project all around. Probably geared more towards the higher end of the suggested age range without parent supervision. Would recommend!

Great set! Clear instructions, good quality.

This is a sweet little set. Adult built, took maybe 90 min. I built only the primary design so far. The instructions were clear and the part quality is top tier. The were no deformed pieces. The stickers were the highest quality I’ve seen in a building set, nice vinyl rather than paper.

The excavator design has 2 knobs on the rear to manually actuate the boom. Rotation is manual and not geared. The tracks are RC. It’s way too fast for scale accuracy but it’s fun to drive around.

Got this for my little brother in law because his birthday passed. He loves all kinds of building blocks. He adores this, and the versatility. The instructions aren’t very hard to follow. He’s younger than the recommended age, but he’s good with this stuff. Just keep the instructions in a safe place, in case the kids want to change the build. The quality of the pieces are good, and having 3 in one is great!

I picked this up for my 11 year old son that loves putting together Lego sets. He was mostly able to put it together himself (with just one small error) and said that he enjoyed doing it. I like that the set comes with multiple sets of instructions so that you can build, tear down and then rebuild something different. The motor seemed a little weak and had a hard time driving on carpet. On hard flooring it was a little better, but had a difficult time tracking straight. The remote control only seems to work with line-of-sight. All in all, this isn’t a bad set, but seems a bit pricey; although probably still cheaper than name brand.

This a cool STEM toy!

Really like this toy, very well put together, easy to follow along and you can make three different things with this kit. In addtion to it being a very cool kit, the remote control, plus the app are a positive. The app is a little clunky, but once you figure it out, works well. My son is a bit young for this kit at 5 years old, but with a little help it was very fun to put together. The price point was great too. All in all a great STEM toy and fun as well.
