Does the Formula Off-Roader include any minifigures?

No, the set has no minifigures – the focus is entirely on the vehicle model and its mechanics.

What kind of mechanics does the model have?

The 92 different part types include typical Technic elements such as axles and connectors, along with moving parts for steering and suspension.

How big a build is this?

At 494 pieces, it's a medium-sized Technic set that can be built in a reasonable session.

Technic

Formula Off-Roader

The Formula Off-Roader 42037 is a LEGO® Technic set that pairs the low, streamlined shape of a race car with the chunky, treaded tyres of an off-road vehicle. Its 494 pieces build a purely functional model with no minifigures, putting mechanics rather than a play scene at the centre. Black, light bluish grey, blue and dark bluish grey make up a deliberately technical colour scheme.

Description

Two vehicle concepts in one build

Rather than copying a real-world car, the Formula Off-Roader mixes two vehicle types that rarely appear together: the flat, aerodynamic body of a formula race car and the wide, off-road tyres more at home on a rally buggy. That kind of imaginative combination is typical of Technic, which often favours original vehicle concepts over exact real-world replicas. With no minifigures included, all the attention goes to the model and its mechanisms rather than a play scenario. At 494 pieces, the build stays manageable while leaving room for working features such as steering or suspension.

92 parts, heavy on mechanics

The set's 92 different part types lean firmly towards Technic staples: axles, pins, connectors and gears make up a large share of the list, alongside body panels that shape the exterior. That balance explains why the part count sits lower than a comparable System set of the same size, while the build itself is more technically involved. The parts list on this page separates the mechanical pieces from the cosmetic ones, which is useful if an axle or connector goes missing after building.

A functional, not flashy, colour scheme

Black and light bluish grey form the bulk of the structure, blue adds targeted accents to the bodywork, and dark bluish grey highlights technical details such as axles and joints. It's a palette built around function rather than bright, playful colour, which is standard for Technic sets aimed at builders more interested in mechanics than display. The colour breakdown on this page is a quick reference for anyone mixing greys across several Technic models.

A model built to demonstrate mechanics

With no minifigures and no fixed storyline, the Formula Off-Roader is aimed squarely at builders who enjoy seeing mechanics actually work – steering linkages or a sprung suspension that moves once assembled, for example. At 494 pieces, there's enough here for genuine mechanical features without turning into a lengthy build, which also makes it a reasonable entry point into Technic for anyone used to standard System sets.
