Remote-Controlled Stunt Racer gives much less than similar sets
Poor value
#48 of 51 Technic sets with 200–499 pieces
As a remote-controlled set, most of its $99.99 price goes into motors and hubs rather than pieces: about 25 pieces per $10 against a typical 85, and roughly three times what similar contents usually cost. Builders still rate it 4.0 of 5 from 206 ratings, so buy it for the remote control, not the value.
Motorized: motors and hubs cost a lot but add little plastic, so these measures undervalue it.
