BrickEconomy Expert Review
“The motor impresses with its excellent power-to-weight ratio, but it's not without its limitations. The absence of Technic mounting points, except for four pin-holes on the front, restricts mounting options, necessitating either face-mounting—which extends the overall length—or blending studded with Technic building methods.”
