Paul Baulch: "Quite powerful - but some brands of rechargeable alkalines don't power the car as well as leading non-rechargeable brands. So be warned - you may chew through the batteries with this baby."
Calum Tsang: "Everything the 5600 should have been: Modular, fast, auxiliary channel, well thought out"
Ross Crawford: "nice powerful motors, and they thought to add extra channel on remote 8?)"
Manfred Schroeder: "There is a third remote channel without function in this model; could have done a good job for light or sound?"
Stéphane Simard: "Excellent RC parts to incorporate in Super Cars. Lego will release more RC sets later on this year (2003 as of this writing)"
Wayne Young: "Excellent starting point for an RC battlebot if you stick to rack & pinion steering, not so good if you try to convert it to AB (tank-style) steering."
Lars Gjerløw Jørgensen: "yeehaaa - fast LEGO! Great play value for any age. - but make sure to turn it off when not using - the receiver drains the batteries!"
Mark Johnson: "Fun build. Eats batteries like no tomorrow."
Vaughan James: "I finally own one! This is a real lego set with Technic parts. No knock-off r/c rubbish like the others, its a well thought out very playable model with great r/c parts for other creations."
