Brittle parts, poor fit and function

Got this for my son and helped him put it together. The plastic pieces are very brittle and more than one broke while attempting to screw them together. Once it was assembled the crankshaft doesn't rotate smoothly and the battery powered gears just grind. Low quality, poorly fit pieces, and doesn't function as advertised. Will attempt to return for a refund.

Small parts, big frustration

Very complicated steps to build. A lot of tiny screws and parts. Not for kids, my son is 10 and he couldn’t do it. Dad had to do it all and got a blister on his finger from trying to turn the screws. After 4 hours of work it’s put together but screws don’t line up right so it makes a lot of noise and doesn’t work very well. I don’t recommend this product.

Not a great toy

The toy was very hard to build with tiny clear screws that were hard to use and even see. Even with adult help. My son was frustrated, so was my husband. It ended up not even working properly. And my husband is very good at building and following directions. We love the concept but this toy was poorly designed. Would not recommend.
It was ok:(

Got this for my nephew and it was hard for him to follow so you need an adult. It jams a little bit and the lights didn’t work either.

Cool idea! Down fall got wrong part and lights didn't work but over all I got to explain to my son as we built just wished I could have showed him it running

My 11 yr old Grandson assembled it all by himself and it took him about 2.5 hours. Overall the instructions were very clear and the set is mostly easy to put together. However the screws were a bit tight and hard to turn. It came out great and I’m very proud of him. Ages 8+ is a little too low without adult help. Yes it’s noisy when running and there is no on/off switch.
Great toy
