- Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2022This was a fun build. however all the lights did not work and the timing belt will slip off the pulleys after like 10 seconds. They give you two and both broke trying to fix it .I ended up using the second fan belt and fashioning a cover for the pulleys so it couldn't slip off. Now it works but not going to try to make it run for a prolonged period. but all in all a fun model

3.0 out of 5 stars No es tan detallado
Es bueno, solo que muy básico y frágil, llego roto, no afecto funcionamiento, pero se rompió por lo delicado de la pieza. Ya que llego bien el embalaje.
