4X4 Off-Roader Reviews
Technic-Dialog
“The 4x4 Off Roader from the Lego-Technic series is probably one of the most impressive vehicles of all due to its enormous size. A great appearance, many functions, a really well-functioning independent suspension and much more guarantee a lot of fun. The vehicle is also... More very robust due to its construction, so that little can break when playing. Also the attention to detail (e.g. the steering wheel turns with with the wheels) is even more enjoyable, so that this model deserves the highest rating.”
Technicopedia
“The 8466 truck could be considered part of the supercar category given its host of functions and scale, but it is sufficiently different in topic to belong in 4x4s. It still has a V-8 engine, a 3 differentials for 4 wheel drive (or more accurately all wheel drive), a... More 5-speed gearbox with reverse, 4-wheel independent suspension, working steering, and a damping system that is used for gull wing doors.”
