Well after a slow start interest picked up and we got the rally car finished last night.

Had to allow 3rd party apps on his Kindle and download elsewhere, as the Lego Control app isnt on Amazon appstore, which given they sell the Technics sets is a bit of a mess up
It goes well, and is very controllable.

For some unfathomable reason he doesn't want the stickers on it.

Looking good 👍. Just out of interest, did it come with radio gear? Looks like a 35mhz setup, thought it would be 2.4ghz on a new system. Also does it come with the sound affects?

It doesn’t come with receiver unit or the steering/gearshift servos, but they weren’t expensive to buy separately. Comes with all mechanical parts, motor and gearbox. No power pack.

2.4ghz system so no big aerial to mount.

didn’t buy any extras, they are very expensive and a bit beyond my abilities I think. The control unit for sounds, lights etc alone is over £200 😳. No idea what an ledlighting loom is.

They do look smart all kitted up tho, leds in all the right places, they even do a “vibration unit” for added realism and an illuminated dash.

the place I bought this from is selling a “full spec” merc actros 6x2 kit with all the working spotlights, sound units, reduction box, auto 5th wheel etc for only £1200........

next step is building the cab, which involves paint and stickers, which I’m terrible at.
