Description

Technic in miniature

At LEGO®, Technic means models built from axles, gears and connector pins rather than plain studs. With 101 pieces the Go-Cart is a manageable way into that world. Unlike the town sets there are no figures, because the vehicle itself is the point. If you have never built a Technic model, this is a place to learn how beams, pins and axles work together without being swamped by a vast building stage or a huge instruction book.

A lot of different parts

The ratio stands out: 50 different part types in only 101 pieces, so nearly every other part is unique. That is typical of Technic, where many special shapes are needed. Light grey, black, red and white make up the palette, which suits a racing vehicle with a practical look. For collectors the list is worth studying, since it holds axles, connectors and wheels that are in demand for other models.

Building with your head

Technic models ask for more thought than simple stud-and-brick kits. That is the appeal, because as you build you can see how the steering and suspension of a kart might work. An afternoon is enough to finish it, and afterwards it can be rolled across the table. If Technic is new to you, this gives a good idea of whether the style suits you. And if you already love it, it adds to your stock of axles and wheels.

Parts list and rebuilds

The full parts list with colours and quantities is higher up on this page. It helps when you check a second-hand kart or hunt for single Technic parts that are hard to replace. The What Can I Build tool lets you discover which other models can be made from this set and your own bricks. Axles, wheels and beams quickly turn into new vehicles or small mechanical gadgets once you start experimenting.
