Why are the wheels so thin?? It’s like it would have been better off having paper wheels...
Not a very handsome set, but it has nice pieces. I had couple of sets from this series. Both used in various MOCs. I still keep the stickers. If I ever manage too build a Hotrod that I like, I plan to use them.
^^that's what dragsters have in real life, and i guess Lego wanted it to be a dragster. I would know that, since I have this set as well.
The Alt model for 6747 uses the same tires as well for the front.
Wasn’t the nicest looking but it was super fast and could do a wheelie.
Still like it to this day.
Why does Brickset call it "Action Wheeler" when it clearly says "Action Wheelie" on the box art, on every other 3rd-party site, and on LEGO.com? I only know "Action Wheelers" as the name of a DUPLO theme.
That's one big STAMP right there in the middle...
My son got this and 8670 for his birthday years ago.
I remember mashing the two sets together to make a monster 6-wheeler.
Good set but I prefer https://brickset.com/sets/8164-1/Extreme-Wheelie
I've got a few of these Power Racers sets. Grandson loves these and the Chima Speedorz.
Hah, I have that one! Found it unopened at a thrift store for my sons. They had fun with it. Your basic pullback and go race car that happens to be made out of LEGO, I'd say. They enjoyed how the front would pop off and go flying if they ran it into the baseboard.
