If you have a look at my LEGO® Technic collection and if you skip the RoboRiders and the Slizer subthemes, you'll notice that I don't have that many Technic sets. This is one of my favourite LEGO® Technic sets which I've got in my collection. The build of this vehicle can be a little bit tricky if you don't look at the instructions carefully. As in most LEGO® Technic sets, we get a feature which makes the steering-wheel and the tyres in the front move at the same time. This feature can be done if you move the gear from the top to the left or to the right. The small seat does sviwel, but it's too big for a LEGO® minifig or a LEGO® Technic minifig. If you turn the tyres on the back you'll see that the yellow pistons in the engine on the back are movable, and you can also decide if you want to lift the tyres on the back up and down if you turn the gear.
 
This set also builds a second model, but you can't build both of them at the same time. It's a fun set and great to play with. I also like the design of this vehicle.
 
All in all, this set is a great set and I would HIGHLY recommend you to get this. You can find this set on eBay and BrickLink for sure.
