This model is to be advertised as a jubilee model, which is not possible. Lego Model 8285 would be the collector's model.
WORST LEGO SET EVER
Pro
- Many Blue Parts
- can be placed on the shelf with the wheels turned in
Contra
- Engine too weak (pebbles are an insurmountable obstacle)
- Turning circle 2m
- Differential prevents off-road capability as soon as one wheel is in the air
- The steering does not return to the starting position when the remote control is released (difficult to steer).
- the towing crane shakes enormously at the slightest touch
- Strange crane hook instead of a metal hook that is any good
- Load area completely open and ugly (looks unfinished)
- Many different coloured parts that make no sense
- Rear wheels not sprung
- Cattle catcher wobbles (insufficiently fastened)
- Stuts on the underside that have no connection
For 150.- maybe, but still far too expensive for what it offers. The Arocs is much better and cheaper.
40 years of Lego technology unworthy
Pro
- More parts in a different colour
Contra
- Price
- Engine too weak
- Unstable crane
- Axles not sprung
- Huge turning circle
- No servo motor for the steering
- No proper loading area
- Poor off-road mobility (only front axle driven, supports too far down...)
with the 6x6 for the 40th anniversary
Building instructions are easy to implement
Good idea for the 40th anniversaryPro
- Good functions,
- simple control
- user-friendly
Contra
- Traction motor a little low on power
- Material bags were not numbered, so stacked construction was not possible, more space was needed.
- Axles oscillate up to the mudguard stop, causing the wheels to lock
Tow truck?
Very stable and beautifully designed by Lego. Unfortunately, there is no towing device, which makes it more of a crane truck or recovery vehicle. But that is only a detail.
Pro
- well thought-out construction
Contra
- actually not a tow truck
