What can I build with it?

Description

A racer you can hold

This set belongs to the Racers theme, which was all about cars, speed and big vehicle models. Nitro Intimidator puts the building experience first: 724 pieces come together as a model that makes an impression on the table. No minifigures are included, so the vehicle stands on its own. That suits fans who simply want to build a powerful car and then roll it about or show it in a cabinet, without having to set up a whole scene around it first.

Black and red racing colours

The main colours are black, red, dark bluish grey and white. That mix looks sporty and aggressive, just as the name promises. Black forms the base, red sets the accents and white provides stripes and details. With 112 different part types the model is more varied than a simple tub, yet it does not bury you in obscure specialist pieces. The dark elements and red body panels are especially useful for later builds, as they fit neatly into other vehicles you may want to design.

What the build is like

At just over 700 pieces the set is mid-sized, so it will keep you busy for longer than half an hour. Vehicle sets of this kind usually follow a clear order: chassis and wheels first, then bodywork and details. Once it is done, you can modify the model and develop your own racers from it if you feel like it. As the set dates from 2006, it is no longer available new. The parts list shows you exactly what you would need if you wanted to rebuild it from scratch.

Reusing the parts

If you own Nitro Intimidator or some of its bricks, try “What can I build?”. The tool compares your parts with the catalogue and shows which other sets you could put together. Wheels, panels and dark basic bricks from a racing set suit trucks, race cars and made-up vehicles just as well as simple buildings. That way the material is not tied to one single model and can be clicked together into something new again and again, whenever the mood takes you.
