App-Controlled Top Gear Rally Car gives much less than similar sets
Poor value
#51 of 51 Technic sets with 200–499 pieces
Most of this app-controlled rally car’s $129.99 price goes into motors and hubs rather than pieces, so it scores poorly: about 27 pieces per $10 against a typical 85 for Technic sets with 200–499 pieces, and a 3.5 of 5 rating below most of its group. It costs nearly three times what similar contents sell for, 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.
