Remote-Control Machines Construction Set

Why play with an off-the-shelf RC car when you can build your own collection of them and learn while you play! If your child loves to tinker with mechanical things, then our Remote-Control Machines Construction Set is the perfect 'vehicle' for their creative genius.

Your aspiring mechanical engineer will build ten motorized contraptions - a bulldozer, car, three-wheeler, crane, classic car, plow, folding car, formula-one racecar, bulldozer, and robotic arm - and use the kit's remote to control each of them. The hard-working gears are among the most colorful pieces, drawing your child's eye to their fascinating interactions.

Your child can combine the kit's trio of motors in many different ways, and control each at the same time using the kit's infrared remote that's designed with six buttons (forward and reverse for each of the motors). Once they've motored through every model by the instructions, your child is sure to dream up plenty of other inventions with the 182 pieces.

The kit includes three motors, an easy-to-use remote control, battery holder, building 'blocks,' and a 48-page illustrated instruction manual. The building pieces are compatible with those in all Thames and Kosmos Construction, Physics, Wind Power, and Hydropower kits.

Ages 8 and up.
