Imaginative name
First back to back 2010 sets as well.
Fun fact, this set has the two rarest parts (6571) needed to Bricklink the Ideas Mars Rover.
Interesting that the main structure uses neither beams nor lift arms!
What's the biggest Technic set that uses this technique...?
The set is not only good looking, but also has very nice technic functions. It's just if you have been collecting Technic Lego's for some time, you must have some version of this buggy. This is a nice one though.
That's Nitro Buggy to you!
The first Technic set I ever got.
That’s funny, i was having a clear out of my sets yesterday and came across this one. Another great set
I remember when i got this set... i loved it to bits, now i need to build it back up :)
A good introduction to buggys for those new to Technic with steering, suspension and animated 4 stroke engine. Can also be found on the 2nd hand markets at around the same price as two 6571 used in the steering. Some nice panels and stickers. Only disappoint was there is no differential, which would have made motorizing more straightforward.
