RC Tracked Racer gives much less than similar sets
Poor value
#47 of 51 Technic sets with 200–499 pieces
Most of this remote-control racer’s $99.99 price goes into motors and hubs rather than pieces, so it scores poorly: about 27 pieces per $10 against a typical 85, and a price nearly three times what similar contents usually cost. Builders love it (4.2 of 5 from 339 ratings), so buy it for the motors, not the value.
Motorized: motors and hubs cost a lot but add little plastic, so these measures undervalue it.
