Off-Road Race Car (LEGO 42164)

About this set

LEGO 42164 Off-road Race Car sits in the Technic line with 219 pieces and a difficulty of 3/5. The box marks it as TECHNIC with the code 42164, and the volume label reads upper volume. The finished build is an off-road racer in blue, yellow, black and gray, with the blue-and-yellow body contrasting against the dark gray chassis for a clear race look. Features include the off-road body shape, large tires, a rear wing, suspension structure, a nitrous booster and a cockpit. The big tires and suspension are the parts Technic builders will notice first, while the wing and nitrous booster push the off-road racing stance. For assembly, build the chassis and suspension first, then fit the large tires to check ride height and ground clearance, and save the cockpit, rear wing and nitrous booster for last so you can adjust the suspension without pulling off exterior parts. At 3/5 difficulty it suits builders who already know basic Technic pins and axles and want practice with suspension and body structure; with 219 pieces it is also manageable for newcomers once they are comfortable with pins and beams.
