Poor value

#79 of 81 Technic sets with 1,000+ pieces

4x4 Crawler scores 11, poor value among 81 Technic sets with 1,000+ pieces. Its strongest point is builder rating, better than 39% of them, and its weakest is price per piece (3%).

Motorized: motors and hubs cost a lot but add little plastic, so these measures undervalue it.
