Description of 🚗 Wooden Roadster Mechanical Models by UGears

MECHANICAL MARVEL: Your adventure begins when you open the box with your new model kit from UGears. This is when you will experience the pleasant smell of natural wood that will stay with you all the way through the process of assembly, testing and play. Building the model is fascinating and exciting: with your own hands you will put plywood details together to create a 3-dimensional moving mechanical marvel. TAKE IT FOR A TEST DRIVE: However, assembly is just a part of the fun: when the Roadster is finished you will definitely want to see what it is capable of and take it for a test-drive. Even when you get to the curb and are ready to put your model away, we would recommend to park it in a well-visible place in your house or office. Classic shapes and iconic Ugears� design makes your Roadster a wonderful complement to any interior. REALISTIC DESIGN: The unique charisma of the model comes from both its outstanding technical characteristics and detailed realistic retro-design. The clever combination of the plywood elements of different thickness � 0.08 and 0.16 inches � ensures that the motorcar�s body looks streamlined and clear. Open the hood to see the powerful V8 engine and watch the moving valves. MOVING MECHANISM: Your sports car has a transmission that switches it in three modes: forward, back, and idle. The driving direction can be adjusted with the steering wheel. The suspension of the front wheels makes the Roadster look even more realistic. With a powerful rubber band motor, the car covers up to 13 feet in one winding. CONSTRUCTION: The Roadster VM-01 model kit is made of sustainably sourced high grade wood and has everything you need for assembly. The quality of the parts is top-notch: a laser method is used for cutting items from a plywood board that provides precise hairline cuts.

Manufacturer does not follow replacement policy

The manufacturer's FAQ states that if you damage a part during assembly, it will be replaced free of charge. This product has several fragile parts. I followed their instructions for replacing parts and got no response from them. Several letters within 5 weeks went unanswered. I enjoyed collecting their other models. However, if they're not following their own guidelines, it may be time to look for a new hobby or supplier.

Great fun to throw toothpicks

I've made several of these models and I've liked them all. It had most of the detail of anything I've made so it was difficult, but the finished model works well and gets a lot of compliments. Here are a few tips. Don't skimp on the sanding, if it says sand make sure it's smooth. It's the same with wax, more is better than less. Finally, discard the toothpicks that came with the model. They are very poor quality, not round and not even the right size. With me they fell through the holes where…

Beautiful design, heartbreak when design is NOT ENOUGH

This item was highly sought after as it looked very sexy. Unfortunately there were flaws in the laser cut design as modules that came loose (due to heavy waxing and grinding) would jam when combined with other modules. An extreme example of this that could be cured is a hood covering moving engine heads. It's truncated a bit too long in the design, so every part of the combined hood - [see the photo of the hood to get an idea of how much work it took to put it together correctly] - had to be…

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No performance
