    Great set!

    Written by (TFOL , platinum-rated reviewer) in Germany,

    Ok, first review in this "HTML editor" thingy.

    This set has quite a few features:

    • Tilting front suspension.
    • Front steering.
    • "Bouncing" suspension at the rear.
    • Tiltable chairs. :)
    • And changeable steering wheel position. :)
    This has good playability: You can make the truck bounce, and make the front suspension tilt on an object. It's a joy to make it tilt, but the suspension is a little bit too stiff to make it bounce on little hills. Now, onto the pros and cons:

    Pros:

    • Tilting front suspension.
    • Front steering.
    • "Bouncing" suspension at the rear.
    • Tiltable chairs.
    • Changeable steering wheel position.

    Cons:

    • Suspension is liiiittle bit stiff.
    Overall, a very playable set! Hey, my first review in Brickset's "HTML editor" thingy! :)

  • Nice and Cute Set

    Written by (AFOL) in Singapore,

    Just bought this set few days ago for 30 SGD after 25% discount at Toys R Us. It's my first small Technic set, so there's not much functions in it but it's nice and fun to play with.

    Pros:
    -Nice and cute look
    -Huge wheels
    -Front steering, tilting front wheels and rear suspension

    Cons:
    -Too pricy

    Now I'm hoping to get 8262 Quad Bike if there's a sale for it!

    Nice one as a gift...

    Written by (Unspecified , silver-rated reviewer) in Netherlands,

    This set I bought when I had some spare money left in the bottom of my wallet. Nice small set and if you're familiar building Lego Technic, its put together in 15 minutes (bot A and B-models). Nice model and especially if you have some filting equipment that can not handle really heavy stuf, this one is light enough to lift. Finally I had some spare spring now ;) since this model has a bit of everthing in it.

    Good set, little pricy!

    Written by (Unspecified) in United Kingdom,

    This set does exactly what it says on the tin. It steers and has a reasonable suspension system. It is fairly quick and easy to put togather and looks quite realistic for a monster type truck with the oversize wheels. The only real downside is the price, at £18.50 from lego shop in mk, uk it is a little pricy.

    A big monster with only a few parts

    Written by (AFOL , bronze-rated reviewer) in Netherlands,

    I got this set as part of a multi-package deal and this was not the set I made the deal for. As such, I had no high expectations for it.

    Based on the small amount of parts, I did not expect the monster truck to be that big or detailed, but it's actually a very nice-looking and sturdy model.

    The B-model was a disappointment as it was neither good looking or very clever. It really felt like an afterthought, even more so than other B-models.

    Overall, I think this set is fine for what it is, but nothing spectacular.
