This is a wonderful model. I'm two-thirds of the way in and broke the rear axle. Now I'm waiting to see if the vaunted replacement service is as good as they say.

I enjoyed building this kit, quite a few pieces well planned out. Take your time and follow the instructions and don't miss a step. U-Gears has always brought out good products. Congrats.

I am continually impressed with your models. I had great fun in putting this model together. I had many challenges. First the spring mechanism was very difficult. The instructions did not provide a detailed picture on how it should be completed. However after a few attempts, i finally got a design that would work. It looks fantastic it runs even better. Please keep up the good work. I think will try the Mars Rover for my next one. These models are fantastic

Great quality model, cleverly designed. Completed today and it's fully functional (propels itself with forward and reverse gears, and pistons, prop shaft and steering rack all operate). Super impressive. It was a present, and I enjoyed building it. My mates were a bit jealous of it too! Can fully recommend - only thing I would say is that the components fit together quite tightly, and take a bit of force to press together. Just choosing my next model . . . . :))

Building the model was a very enjoyable process, the quality of the material and the explanatory booklet are amazingly accurate, I have already purchased several models from you (some of them have not yet been assembled) I will continue to purchase and certainly highly recommend Thanks again !!!

Only just received this cool looking vehicle. My partner and I can't wait to open and put together - have a look at the Cool Things video, it looks great! At last an alternative place to buy gifts that come to you within Australia and aren't from the usual places others buy online from. Have also bought presents for my two great nephews for Christmas and birthday, so can't wait to see how they react! Even though we haven't put it together yet, we'll give it a star rating based on the video.

This model has perfect quality and i was happy to assemble it. However some mechanically loaded parts are not strong enough. Axles, gears and levers better to do with steel or somehow improve wood. Will be great if Ugears team can improve it. Thank you for the great work!
