“The Universal Set form the Lego Technic series is a set for beginners. Here, the instructions show four different models with simple functions that can be built. I built what I consider to be the best one and rated it accordingly. In the car, the back wheels are driven by... More the engine, and, at the same time, the front wheels are steered. In practice it means that the front wheels constantly turn from left to right and left again, so the car slaloms. It’s astonishing to see how a rotating movement is transformed into an oscillating or an up-and-down movement. Obviously, there’s not much fun. Overall, it gets three stars in the rating.”

“The motor is used in each of the models to drive a variety of functions. In each case except the helicopter, the motor is coupled to the model via a belt (rubber band) to prevent stalling the motor. The motor is underpowered for some of the applications and the belt either... More tends to slip or to stall the motor anyway. Unlike set 8030, the models in this universal set cover a wide variety of subjects and complexity levels.”

About Technic Universal

Universal is a subtheme of Technic that consists of 19 sets that as of now ran from 1982 to 1994. As of today, 8094 Control Centre is the most valuable set in Technic Universal with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $702.59.

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.
