Off-Road Buggy gives much less than similar sets
Poor value
#50 of 51 Technic sets with 200–499 pieces
This motorized buggy puts most of its $129.99 price into motors and hubs rather than pieces: about 23 pieces per $10 against a typical 85 for Technic sets with 200–499 pieces, and roughly a third of the usual plastic per dollar. At about three times what similar contents cost, it makes sense only if you want the motors.
Motorized: motors and hubs cost a lot but add little plastic, so these measures undervalue it.
