Description

A motor and a blank page

The word motorized in the name says a lot: this is a set for building your own moving machines rather than one fixed model. With 221 pieces it is a manageable size, enough for small vehicles, simple mechanisms or experiments with how a drive turns into motion. The parts list on this page shows exactly which elements are included, so you can see what the drive side of the set consists of before you start planning anything of your own.

Technic in grey and red

Light grey, red and black were the colours of Technic at the time, and they give the pieces a workmanlike look. Beams and housings tend towards grey, axles and tyres towards black, with red adding contrast. Nothing about this palette is flashy, but it suits the subject: machines that look like machines. You can check the breakdown by colour and quantity further down this page, which is useful if you want to match the set with other Technic parts you own.

Many shapes, no figures

This set has no minifigures, so everything revolves around construction. The 221 pieces cover 58 different part types, which is a high variety for the size and points to plenty of specialist parts. That suits tinkerers, who need the right element for each joint, but it may frustrate anyone wanting a clear step-by-step model. Treat it as a kit of components and it makes sense, with plenty of room to try things out and rebuild them.

Reusing and checking parts

Technic parts appear in many sets, so the parts list on this page is handy for second-hand checks and for finding replacements. The What Can I Build? tool compares your own collection with the catalogue and shows which sets you could put together. Even if the motor itself is missing or no longer works, the remaining parts can still be put to good use in other mechanical projects, from small vehicles to simple gearboxes.
