Wood Trick Hot Rod Wooden Model Car Kit to Build - Rides up to 32 feet - Very Detailed and Sturdy - No Batteries - 3D Wooden Puzzle - Mechanical

All joints nice and tight

I dont often review, however I have built alot of these wooden gear models (mainly by ugears) and as much as the end result of this is okay it has alot if flaws.The wood trick models for some reason are higher priced than many others but do not be tricked into thinking this means better quality, I found the wood in this model to split easier, have alot of burrs when removing pieces and my biggest issue is that none of the toothpicks provided where usable (i used spares from other sets)It is alot smaller than I imagined, it works fine but certain parts don't feel of great design, for £50 I feel ripped off by wood trick and will not be buying there models again

Unfortunately, the elastic bands supplied in this kit are dry and cracking. When placed under tension they snap. This means I can not complete the build until I find replacement bands. I have contacted the company Wood Trick via their website. They promise to resolve issues within 24 hours. No reply after 3 days!!EDIT: I've now contacted them three times in a week, no response AT ALL so far. I will update this review if/when I do get this sorted out.EDIT 2: I've had a response from Wood Trick, and they have shipped out, and I've now received replacement bands. Will update once more when I've tried them in the build.EDIT 3: No good I'm afraid. As I had problems with the original set of bands. The friction fit of the dashboard would no longer hold. This caused issues later in the build when it came time to fit the roof and windscreen. Ultimately the subframe snapped from repeated attempts to get the dashboard sitting properly. The whole thing has gone in the Bin.

Hard work cocktail sticks to fit it together absolutely stupid idea nothing fits dreadful idea hard work all the through don't buy

Ok to build but doesn't work

Work will

So we bought this for our sons 19th birthday, he started it, heard a crack and was too scared of breaking it. "You do it mum, you're better at it" so here I am sat doing it. Observations...toothpicks are the bain of my life, poked, prodded, wood dust, points everywhere. Get ready for it. Buy some cheap emery boards for sanding, the tiny bit they give will be done in the first 3 stages and emery boards work really well. Instructions, on the whole they are brilliant but show no back views of what you are looking at so if something is going in the lower hole, its pot luck checking you have the right one!Would I do another one? Yes absolutely, I am actually really enjoying it.Does it take 5hrs assembly? Not on your nelly.Does it matter? Nah, enjoy.
