Air Race Jet gives much less than similar sets
Poor value
#77 of 81 Technic sets with 1,000+ pieces
Being motorized costs the Air Race Jet here, since motors cost a lot but add few pieces: it gives about 52 pieces per $10 against a typical 77 for big Technic sets and roughly 25% less plastic per dollar. Builders rate it 4.0 of 5, but at $159.99 it costs about 74% more than similar contents, leaving it 63rd of 66.
Motorized: motors and hubs cost a lot but add little plastic, so these measures undervalue it.
