LEGO Technic Go Kart (8256) Review


This is a very good set, once it's built. The steering doesn't work as advertized. The steering range is only about 1/2 of what the picture shows, but with a small modification, it can be made to go that far. The piston is not attached directly to the rear axel as the picture leads you to believe, but is turned by two gears, one on the axel, and one on the rod that turns the piston. Once it's built, though, it has a very low profile. It sits very low to the ground, just like the real thing. It also has a very "fast and mean" look to it, no matter what angle you look at it from. However, it is not for the begginning builder. Sometimes, Technic can be hard to work with.
In closing, good job Lego Co., they've produced a very nice set. Get more detail about LEGO Technic Go Kart (8256).
