8183+7590+7590=!!!!!!!

I’m sure it’s all for aerodynamics but it does look very flat, can’t help but feel somethings been dropped on it

I wonder what the largest single Lego component is (not counting baseplates)? This surely has to be a contender!

Tell me, why Lego do not release these? These were amazing also felt really well priced!

I wanted this set so badly as a kid

It's rare to see a set I've never seen before, but I don't remember seeing this in any LEGO Magezines at all.

I recall that this one was from a pair. The other one had two car body options that each slotted over the specialized RC chassis. This one just has one chassis and I don't recall seeing it being an option to swap the bodies over from the other set. Still, it was neat that there was a cheaper option, as the other one of course basically was two cars sans RC chassis parts.

I got this for my 13th that year. It was honestly quicker than I anticipated at first, and I liked the steering layout for the remote. The base being essentially fully covered with studs gave it decent customization potential.

The dump truck bed from 7344 might be a serious contender, element 52045, 32 x 16 x 10 2/3 studs as its dimensions.
If you want to include _everything_, it's most likely one of the ship hulls from the 90's to early-mid 2000's. Or 53532, the stadium base from 3569

We have some other massive pieces with the Spybotics modules https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4232c01&idColor=14T=C&C=14 The Technic Control center, https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=2840c01&idColor=11T=C&C=11 , not mentionning the boats hulls like the https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=57789c01&idColor=7T=C&C=7 which is 74x18 studs

Dang bro I miss my childhood we got frickin Lego RC cars while nowadays we get trains that hypnotise kids with all the laps it goes around.

well, for one thing: The Power Functions used in the set was replaced by Powered up in 2018, and that itself appears to be on the way out. So they'd need a whole new control system - probably using cell phones + and app, as LEGO doesn't appear to do actual control devices anymore. (see Technic's Control+ and the trains that aren't part of CITY, for two examples.)

Good luck finding a LEGO RC set this cheap today

It’s cataloged as Gear, but it has a compatible attachment with 16x32 baseplates.

That's the sad part. I own this set and after 16 years it's still functional. With Powered Up you need to make sure you keep and old phone/tablet (with old app) so when they go out of date and are no longer supported the set will still be functional.

I have the mindstorms EV3 set, and I have had to program it with the Nintendo game boy-looking display instead of an actual program. Needless to say, I haven't touched it in years

Who needs a car with a single engine when you can have two engines!
