Certainly quite an odd design.

Oh my. That's disturbing.

"If this is supposed to be based off anything in the real world, and looks anything like the real thing, it definitely isn't safe. It's highcentered, has you practically spooning the engine, and I'm sure your head will be poking out the top of the roll cage, so good luck if you ever get in one of these things!"

Well, if it's a Power Wheels, I could see them making the chassis and suspension heavy, and just using lightweight plastic for all the upper body work and roll cage. I mean, if it _does_ roll over, yeah, it's not going to end well. But put all the heavy stuff down low and it might not tip over as easily as it seems.

I like some of the mini Technic sets, they are cute and functional. This is not one of them, it looks more like aparts pack.

I had no idea about the existence of this set

Weirdly shaped

I have this set. My first technic set!
It may not look good but I like the color scheme and the spring action is amazing

Oh, I really like this - bought it for myself, back then (admittedly, not for the building experience) - but it's a fun play-set. My son (now 6 y.o.), has played with it since he was a baby :-)

This is from when I stopped looking at Technic sets and they started to blur together. I wonder if it's supposed to be a scaled down monster truck. For dunes, considering the roll cage?

One of the first sets I bought after I got back into the hobby at Christmas 2012.
It uses the tried-and-tested "elastic band" suspension method if i remember correctly.

Upgraded dune buggy

Just looked at the instructions, and your memory does not fail you.

I just had time to briefly read the instructions. This is actually quite interesting. It uses the same undercarriage (yes, with those great white rubber bands) for both the A model and B model!
It's secured with that light bluish gray axle held by a bushing on each side, which you can see on the side.
The main model also technically has opening doors, as those small panels are only attached with one pin at the far end each.

Partial multimodels are nothing new but I don't recall seeing it in Technic much. The last examples that spring to my mind are 8448 Super Street Sensation from 1999 and some of the Speed Slammer sets from 2000 such as 8236 Bike Burner, which had you reconstruct the front half module of the set.
It's a lot like how Dreamzzz does it right not, with 'mulitple endings' to the build.

Pretty cool to find this feature in this random 2013 Technic set.

This has a mildly similar vibe to the image of plastic man giving the camera a long distance short range thumbs up, due to the massive wheels and tiny everything else

@Binnekamp:
I only got its smaller sibling (8183), but I believe 8184 has swappable body shells that go on the same chassis (a brick with wheels and tires still counts as a subassembly). And I think there was a Creator/Designer car from the early to mid aughts that had the same setup.
