“I would definitively recommend this set. It has good playability, 252 parts (of which 56 are tread links) and a good parts pack also. You get 10 new parts in total and a total number of 17 gears (of 7 different types).”

Best of the small Technic excavators — “Overall, I would have to recommend this set very highly. While the A and B models have similar functions, the A model functions work much better and have a more "Technic" feel to them, since the control knobs are located farther away from the parts they activate. The... More playability of the A model is very good, at least for its size. The boom, dipper arm, and bucket functions work smoothly.”
