“The Go-Kart from the Lego Technic series is a very simple model. To my knowledge, the model was available only in the USA and not in Germany. Apparently, it was also a promotional set. It is understandable, therefore, why this model was so simple. However, I find the model... More to be well-made, so its three stars are quite deserved.”

“This set features rack and pinion steering as it's only technical function, and at the time was the simplest Technic set to date with the possible exception of 1924. The front wheels can be steered using a wheel at the driver's position.”

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.
