Lego Maniacs' Guide
“This 1992 dune buggy is one of my favorite Lego sets of all time. I love the way the dune buggy can roll along and give the mini-fig a relatively smooth ride over most terrain. The suspension system works great. There's not too much else to say other than it's a great model... More and that if you're a town or space collector, you should own it.”

“The racer is identical in design to the ones included in 6551 Chequered Flag 500, only the colors are different. The car has a Octan symbol on the tail, which implies it is sponsored by that company. It carries the number "5," and features a spring suspension system on both... More axles. The car is red and white, and has a translucent blue windshield and small yellow flag attached to the back left of the car.”
