Review on πŸš— Explore the World of ROKR Mechanical Cars: Moveable Constructor Curiosity Unleashed! by Darrion Hudson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not relaxing: truck and solar car.

I've built other Rokr models but the truck was a real project. Especially around the cockpit windows, tabs and joints that were very difficult to assemble finally gave up, cut off most of the tabs and reached for the glue. The same fate befell many other parts. In addition, despite providing you with tools and illustrations to assemble it, and disassembling and reassembling it twice, the drive still did not line up on the drive axis. I gave up and leveled out visually and then it was easy. The barcode links in the instructions only lead to Rokr ads on YouTube. Big thing. Fight for completion. Everything is there (except for a few tabs) and everything works. But not a satisfactory design. If you have a lot of patience and small hands, go for it. Have some glue ready. And sandpaper. And the jeweler's file. Car: 3 out of 5 miniature hinges got stuck and when trying to move them just started bending the hinges. Also, the pre-drilled holes in the wood didn't always line up with the hinges, making installing the ridiculously small screws almost impossible. I ended up gluing the hinged plates to the model without the hinges. Really bad design.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Exterior
