LEGO’s online store has three RC sets, 8366, 8369, and
8475 (currently unavailable). There’s
also a Radio Shack exclusive,
8376.
8369 is brand new, and its description says
“The first LEGO Racers RC car that can conquer the outdoors! Steer the Dirt
Crusher through dirt, gravel, mud and more and watch it come out on top.
Features three channels and manual speed shift option, adjustable suspension for
speed and road conditions, and a groundbreaking new building experience with
flexible nylon elements. Batteries and charger included.”
The LUGNET set reference shows that only one
person owns this set so far. For anyone else who owns it but hasn’t filled in
the form on that page, I have some questions.
What do they mean by “groundbreaking new building experience with flexible nylon
elements”? What pieces are they? Have you in fact tried this set outdoors in the
mud? And how does that manual speed shift work? Does that mean you manipulate
something on the car, or on the remote control? How about the adjustable
suspension -- how does it work?
If I were to buy one of the four sets mentioned above, which one would you
recommend? The only reason I want an RC set is to get the powerful
5292 RC motors. On the other hand, if
those new nylond pieces are useful in some manner I’ll want to buy the 8369.
Thanks!

It is a great RC car but the building system is completely new although the shocks and chasis have Technic connection points. I suppose the only part that would be (...)
