my son showed me last night that they have a challenge.. u design it and they will build it..

i like that but yeah $200 is a lot... but you get the fundamentals to build your own.. once you get the remote, axles, etc... you can TINKER...

Id hate to rock roll that thing. Can you imagine trying to find all of the little pieces in between some rocks?

wow pretty cool!
i would have poped on it for $50 bucks. but at 200 no thanks. very cool though.
i wonder if they have any non electronic/motorized "4x4"s?
ie just a traditional lego kit (technic?)

If I was going to drop that much on a LEGO kit I would get a Mindstorm kit for my kid.

Here is a video of the alternate body you can build. It's a cab over truck. The guy does rollover testing. The funny thing is nothing falls off.

Wow, that is a whole lot of testing for something like a lego kit...That guy takes his legos seriously!

What was up with the camera mans hard breathing? Was he running in place while filming that?

That's what i was wondering haha. Looks kinda cool. I bought the motor kit for my girl friends little brother who loves legos and he builds all sorts of stuff from it.

I wonder how hard it is to brake a axle shaft on one of those

 

[boosted4lyf]

id rather have the tractor that has the moving implements

I think he was making it jiggle just for the sake of jiggling.

Now the newbie forum is gonna be full of "Which should I buy scx10 or lego crawler?" I think its pretty cool, I wish they would step away from all of the concept style pieces and go back to some more real looking panels.
