Allot of reviews are mentioning missing posts to mount the motor bracket, that’s because they built it backwards(see pictures). Model works great only that the motor sprocket doesn’t make full contact with the crankshaft(see video). Manually rotating still operates the model and it looks awesome.

    These engines are so fun to build. This is the 2nd one I got my 14 year old son. Now he is ready to build another one. I got him one for Christmas 2022, and this one I got him Christmas 2023. The one on the left we built together. The blue and grey one I DIDNT HAVE TO LIFT A FINGER. He started and finished without me. If you are a boy mom. I definitely recommend these engine kits. They are a hit.

    This 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
