“The set is one of the first to have wheel suspensions, and the box art clearly tries to stress it out. The set includes 33 pieces that build up a sand storm race car and a minifigure. The sand storm race car is the main part of the set. This has four wheels, two big ones at... More the back, and two smaller ones at the front. In between the two wheels, there is a seat for the minifigure and a blue steering wheel.”

“This set showcases a creative use of suspension bricks, adding functionality and a sporty design to the dune buggy. The rear wheel arch and engine detailing stand out, though the front light bar and fragile windshield detract slightly from durability. While the suspension works well on hard surfaces, it struggles with softer terrain, limiting its playability. The included minifigure is well-detailed, but the set feels more like a showcase for the suspension parts than a fully refined model.”
