4x4 Mercedes-Benz Zetros Trial Truck gives much less than similar sets
Poor value
#72 of 81 Technic sets with 1,000+ pieces
This licensed Zetros is motorized, and motors and hubs cost a lot but add few pieces: it gives about 51 pieces per $10 against a typical 77 for big Technic sets and roughly 37% less plastic per dollar. At $329.99 it costs about twice what similar contents usually sell for, so it makes sense if you want the motors, not the most build for your money.
Motorized: motors and hubs cost a lot but add little plastic, so these measures undervalue it.
