Random set of the day: Turbo Force
Posted by Huwbot,
Today's random set is 1461 Turbo Force, released during 1992. It's one of 27 Town sets produced that year. It contains 31 pieces and 1 minifig.
It's owned by 1,162 Brickset members. If you want to add it to your collection you should find it for sale at BrickLink, where new ones sell for around $15.80, or eBay.

The cutest little go-cart ever.
The name certainly seems a little forced.
Now I'm wondering what would happen if I stuck a 4-cyl from an economy car into a go-cart typically powered by what, a 5-10 HP lawnmower engine?
Lego has made lots of small cars like this. But I think this is one of the best!
That engine design really sells this one. And the black and yellow colours are winderful.
Another plus: the driver even has arms and legs!
The "Force" is WRONG in this one...no?:)
I remember seeing this one in a database for the first time and thinking it looked suspiciously like one of TLC's late eighties/early nineties F1-style cars (1612, 6503, etc.) but with added fenders and no spoiler.
A Wreck-It Ralph tie in twenty years before the film even came out? Truly Lego are visionaries
I sense a severe lack of downforce here....
You mean Turbo Four-ce?
Just need to replace the grey bits with more yellow, add some trans-red, and make the driver a Blacktron.
May the turbo force be with you.

You'd either got really, really fast, or explode in a million flaming pieces. 50 /50 chance of either. Also, you'd for sure go deaf.

Hair would probably catch on fire. Long hair would probably get snagged in the fanbelt.

This guy has the right idea. Stole the words right out of my mouth
I wonder why the boxed version does not include the minifig...
Fun fact: this is identical to 1692, with the exception of that set missing the minifig (like Atuin mentioned above me).
For a moment I thought -judging by its color scheme- that it was one of the four kelloggs promo sets discussed in an earlier RSotD. That RSotD was set 1561 from July 5th this year. It was from 1990. In my defense, 1563 uses the same front slope!
@Binnekamp:
This go-kart is identical to a front-end loader?
Oops I meant 1693
