The Mud Masher was one of the first Technic sets I bought following MindStorms (after my dark age). I think it is a bit expensive for what it is, but the design is very cool. This model ranks with the very most 'playable' LEGO models of all! Build (...) (25 years ago, 29-Oct-99, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.reviews)

I just bought this set too. It is very cool. However, I didn't buy it for it's own sake, I wanted the ball joint and the steering parts(as you mention).
