L ego Technic 8293 Power Functions Motor Set

Some of the Lego Technics Kits do not come with the Lego Technic Motor pack to keep the costs of the original model down.

The kits still move but you need to turn the gears manually. (eg. The Lego Technic Excavator) If however you want to fully power up your Technics kits then you really need to get the power functions pack!

At the moment in the run up to christmas Amazon have over 20% OFF as well as FREE DELIVERY!

If you plan on buying a Technics model for a loved one, this would be an ideal stocking filler and would make the model even more satisfying to build!

This item is a Birthday present for our grandson. He is always selecting Lego and his room is full of it. He derives much pleasure in building things and this has been selected by himself so he must be more than happy to recieve it as it helps him with his other lego.
It arrived well packed and before the forecasted time.

Get over to AMAZON NOW to take advantage of the HUGE DISCOUNT as well as the FREE DELIVERY! With deals like that it surely won’t be long till they sell out!

This was a great kit to make. I roped in a little helper to do the actual construction while I read the clear and easily understandable manual and generally managed the project. As the construction went past some peoples bed times it would have been good if I (as project manager) had provided some Tupperware boxes to keep all the carefully sorted bits safe. Luckily everything remained safe on the table until the next day but next time I’ll definitely have containers of some sort on hand.
There was a bit of confusion with this kit as it also contains the pieces needed to make some kind of a dump truck (not at the same time as the excavator, instead of!) Once we realised that we didn’t need to use all the bits from each bag things got a lot clearer.
It was immediately apparent, once the kit was completed that it would be immensely improved by having the motor kit addition as well, which you need to buy separately. This is the reason I haven’t given this Lego excavator top marks. I understand that the motor kit is too expensive to stick in every pack, but using the manual excavator arm control was awkward. The driver who we’d made this for though didn’t seem to mind too much!
