It was a birthday present for my grandson. He absolutely loves it. We like the way they are constructed and the way they can be propelled. We have had U-gears products before and they are really good and some are very challenging.

For the 9th model I've built this winter, I'm still a happy retiree. Be warned, this model requires a lot of attention; it's no more fragile or complicated than the others. You simply have to follow the instructions in the booklet to the letter, and happiness will follow…

Did the truck and trailer awhile ago but did not do any review. The truck and trailer turned out great and was very happy how they turned out. I like how the trailer floor goes in and out, very neat. No parts missing and the instructions good.

Just finished putting together the Heavy Boy Truck VM-03 – it looks cool and runs well! I'm thinking of adding some extra thick rubber bands to the drive wheels though, because it slips a bit on smooth floors. Now, off to start on the trailer!

Hello, amazing model with many functional details. I spend lot of fun with assembling. Definetly the best wooden model I have built so far. But the rubber bands are bad. They started to crack, after half year and the moving mechanism inside model is no longer functional.

Just finished this model and its trailer. Remarkable example of creativity, engineering, manufacturing, and wonderful instructions. You have a great team. Thanks for the hours of enjoyment! Note for builders: on page 40 of heavy boy, you may find it much easier and more stable to do most of steps 4 and 5 before step 1. You may also use wax on the joints of delicate parts. Enjoy.

Dear all, this is a great model; it's the third in my collection, and I'm expecting more. However, in this case, I don't know why the motor is seizing up and preventing it from running smoothly, but oh well, there's a challenge for the next one.

Enjoyed this build. Usual good quality. This is the only model I allow my 5year old grandson to play with. I know, bad grandad. He uses lego men with the truck. The scale is really close and looks pretty cool

This is a great model to build and the 4th model I have done during lockdown, the others being, the trailer, pneumatic engine and the timer, all brilliant, don't know where to keep them all. Highly recommended

Very nice kit. Looks really cool and the functions works. One mistake in the manual where it says the panel behind the seats first and then the side panels. Other way around is working much better. But anyway, a really good thing. Thank you guys for such a great model and this great idea of those kits. It would not be my last one.

I got the Tuck for christmas. Actually four days before and started building. It took me 4 evenings to build. The truck is doubting if it wants to start rolling because I think the engine is blocking it. The engine is not spinning. Page 25 was not really clear, it was the hardest part. Page 40 contains a bug, it says you need to wax but actually you need to cut. This truck is getting the best spot in my home office because it is an eye catcher. So much detail! And it was really nice to build. A good alternative for LEGO, maybe even better! Im thinking about a next project, but not sure yet which Ugears project is next! Any suggestions?

I got the Truck and the Trailer for Christmas. I never heard of ugears before, i started building and finished both after 4 days, it made so much fun. unluckily the Truck mechanisms arent working, i did something wrong, of course, but however its looking fantastic. Its a hard model for the first time, i recommend to buy a smaller one first, you will buy more anyway... :D now i got to go, i have to look which model i will buy next!
