    • It works! Mostly
Style: Model Engine Kit
Review Image by john f moffitt john f moffitt
Built it in 4 hrs with my 14 year old daughter. Instructions were good. She did most of the work. It doesn't matter that the lights don't work, timing is off cheap parts, etc. It really teaches the inner workings of an engine even if it's not "all the way" put together. I doubt you would have much use for it beyond the 5 hrs it takes to build, run and understand. Highly recommend for any age. ... show more

    • Really impressive model, a few issues but really good overall
Style: Model Engine Kit
Just finished putting this together with my 10 yo son. Took almost all day but we had other things this Sunday, so assembly time was about 3 hours. It was mostly fun with a few exceptions, and the end result is very impressive. A few notes. - It says for 8 year olds and older. There's no way an 8 yo can put this together. Or a 10 years old. Maybe a 12 years old, if they are very skilled. I had to do a lot of snapping, tightening screws, and checking to make sure this works in the end. - There's a step in the manual where it says "pay close attention to the direction of the crankshaft" but does not specify what exactly you need to look for. As a result 9 steps later I found that the timing belt cover wouldn't come into position and had to disassemble all the way back to step 5 to put the part the right way. Not fun. - The timing belt kept coming off. We found that after we put most of the mechanism together so we again had to backtrack 3 or 4 steps (you cannot put the belt back on since it's closed by a cover). The only way I managed to keep it on was to avoid using belt pulley, just put the belt on timing gear and timing wheel and it appears to stay on (we ran it for a few minutes and it hasn't come off yet). - There's no on/off switch. Not a big deal, you just put the connectors in or pull them out. - There seems to be much more screws then needed to complete the assembly, so THANK YOU! - It even has the head gasket which it doesn't have to (it's just a piece of paper) but gave me a chance to explain what it is. - The lights are supposed to indicate when the gasoline explodes in a cylinder, so I wanted to show my kids how the explosion happens when the piston is in the top of the cylinder. Unfortunately this is not the case in this model, the lights flash in 1-4-2-3 sequence but they are not synced with the rotation of the crankshaft. As far as I can see the camshaft is not synced with the crankshaft either so the valves open and close pretty much randomly (unless I missed something in the manual - or maybe misunderstand the concept?..). - It's driven by electric motor, and aligning the gears is tricky, we had to re-do it 3 times and a small piece broke off, and sometimes I hear one or two cogs skip. - The plastic is pretty fragile and you have to be very careful not to over-tighten the screws or it'll break. ... show more

    • Aligning the Electric motor drive gear
Style: Model Engine Kit
As mentioned by most all reviewers, this engine model was a bit difficult to complete. The actual motor parts are fairly straightforward and assemble easily. However, the actual plastic this is crafted from is unusually brittle, and will crack if you draw down too tightly on the screws. Was able to get it together in slightly over 2 hours, but getting it to actually RUN by way of the small electric motor was considerably more difficult. Major issue with POOR alignment of the electric motor pinion gear and the "flywheel" get on the motor model. When mounting the small electric drive motor to the back of the model you could easily see the pinion gear barely touched the flywheel drive gear. Applying power to the drive motor resulted in much gear grinding as the crankshaft end piece flexed enough to completely disengage the gears. Used a Dremel to sand down the electric motor screw mounting pins and was able to get a more substantial alignment of the gears. However, with battery power applied the crankshaft end would flex "UP" and away from the pinion gear causing it to slip. Fortunately, using a small plastic bushing from a TV wall mount kit was able to fashion a bushing which slips over the flywheel spacer bushing and is large enought to ride along the outer rim of the flywheel ring gear providing just enough DOWN force to hold the flywheel gear in alignment with the electric motor ring gear. Motor now runs nice and smooth. Kit maker needs a serious redesign of their drive motor gearing, and consider adding a small plastic bushing to hold down the crankshaft end so it maintains alignment with pinion gear when power is applied to the model. ... show more
