“This is one of 3 1990 models centered around a "Rally" theme. This model is a dune buggy with working swing arm rear suspension. A V-2 engine is located between the rear wheels made from the new engine parts introduced this year. The front wheels have rack and pinion... More steering. The Technic figure also made a reappearance here after being absent for a year. Toothed elements were used to make a roll bar.”

“The Rally Shock n’ Roll Racer from the Lego Technic series is another well-made model. It’s made of relatively few individual parts, is very robustly built and therefore offers a lot of fun. Added to this is the good look, which bears a lot of resemblance to the original.... More All in all a great model, which more than deserves the highest rating.”

About Technic

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.
Summary
Technic Rally Shock n' Roll Racer set 8840 was released in September 1990, retailing for $30, but has since been retired. New, unopened Rally Shock n' Roll Racer sets are valued at $100, while used sets can be found for $22 in good condition.
