This marks the weekly return of the featured set spotlight, 2000 or older, new entries will now be posted on Fridays. I delve into the dawn of lego RC with this...

 

5600 Radio Control Racer

Description: Released in 1998 at a retail cost of about 35 dollars, this item sells MISB today for about 80 dollars, a bit of a collectors item. Containing 293 parts and 1 minifig, this was the first RC racer set produced.

 

My take: Looks fun, but it is rather tiny. Still I bet it is light and pretty fast, I wish I had gotten it now.

OMG I had this set! :ohmy: I've still got the chassis 'piece' buried in my old cupboard somewhere (in a none too good condition :P). It was brilliant - very nippy and it came with yellow bricks and green ones (plus even a few small chrome pieces) and if I remember rightly, instructions for both colours so you sort of had two cars in one set.

 

And if you balanced it on something to stop the wheels touching the ground, built a set of wheels on top and tried to drive the car with the remote, the vibration somehow started the wheels on top slowly spinning. :lol:

I owned this one a long time ago. The RC bit broke several years ago, but it was a BLAST to play with when I was younger. One of my fav sets ^_^

 

Sigh...Nostalgia...
