Wood TrickMonster Pickup Truck Car 3D Wooden Puzzle - Course up to 5m - Building Truck Model Kit for Adults and Children

My 61st of this type - cars, trucks, locomotives, etc, from Ugears, ROKR, WoodTrick, EWA, and others. This was an excellent build, very satisfying, with interesting engineering of suspension and driveshaft u-joints. Good materials, including spring drive (not rubberbands; they work, but spring more durable), pretty good instructions, although some peculiar sequencing which did eventuslly work out. The key to this type of model is patience - look at the instructions carefully, be sure you have a clear sense of how things go together and work. Sometimes helps to read a few steps ahead in the mechanicals before starting a subassembly. Sanding and waxing - both important, especially for moving parts. And don't just wax gears snd rotaring parts; wax anything that moves in contact with another part. Wax is also very helpful in easing parts together. I have never had to trim parts, or enlarge openings, in 61 completed models. Toothpicks: no one likes working with them, me included, but they are manageable. I figure I have placed a couple thousand in the course if building these models. Never enlarged a hole. And after the first few models, I don't poke my fingers any more. Wax the toothpicks. Press the part to receive it over the toothpick by standing toothpick vertically, blunt end down. A little practice and it comes easily. Don't forget the wax. Although I am not much interested in the real thing - monster trucks - this was very satisfying to build, and to run. And it does run really great.

I have built over a dozen of these puzzles and this was a really fun one. The drive train was simple enough to work well and the spring motor works better that the normal elastic ones. The suspension works really well. The toughest part of the build was the tires, juggling so many pieces to install the center locks ( I found putting on the elastic bands around the tires helped quite a bit).

Preis und Leistung stimmen. Schnell geliefert.

Mon fils (16 ans) s'est régalé à construire cette maquette de précision et totalement mobile. Low tech et très ingénieux. Mécanisme à ressort et suspension élastique. Je recommande fortement ce fabricant et ce cadeau même si la découpe des pièces manque un peu de finition.

excellent model
