Extreme Adventure Reviews
Eurobricks
“This set absolutely takes the cake. Even though this model doesn't contain as much gears as the flagship, this still was a very enjoyable build. The cool mechanisms definitely make up for the lack of gears. Technically it's a very sound build as well.”
Brickipedia
“It appears to be a sort of off-roading vehicle with tracks instead of wheels. The B-model, appears to be an odd trailer vehicle, with a base and a crane on a trailer. Both the A-model and the B-model use a V8 engine driven by both axles. However, unlike other all wheel drive... More sets, it does not have a central differential, which means both axles have to turn.”

About Technic
TECHNIC is one of The LEGO Company's main lines based on creating detailed model machines and mechanical toys with specialized beams, axles, gears and connectors and primarily designed for older children and adults. The theme was first introduced as the Expert Builder series in 1977, but was officially renamed as TECHNIC in 1984. TECHNIC is still an active theme, and is one of the longest running themes in LEGO history. While most TECHNIC sets are vehicles that use pieces to mimic real vehicles, such as engine pieces, suspension, pneumatic, and transmission pieces, the TECHNIC parts have been used by various other System themes as well as LEGO Mindstorms.
