LEGO EGO Technic 42176 Porsche GT4 e-Performance - Speed Build & Review

What do you guys think of these electric / battery powered LEGO?

I personally like the idea because it's something you can interact with, versus looking at. However, using a phone as a controller is not the best form factor. I guess it keeps the cost down 🤔

@@one-mmog I agree! This was my exact thinking when I purchased this set. I wanted something more than just a "display "piece. Yes, the controller on the phone isn't great! I also wondered about the cost factor as well. I'm assuming LEGO spent quite a bit of money developing the app. But maybe in the long run, it will be more cost effective. 🤷🏾‍♂

I was thinking of getting this while waiting for my pre-order F1 due in March. Where did you get the model building mat from? I need to get one 👍🏾 Im new to this hobby and just need some tips to make my first build successful and enjoyable. It appears you used tweezers shaped like a hockey stick. Can you share where you purchased them? Thanks in advance!

If you can find this set on sale; definitely pick it up. For the modeling mat, I bought it from Rebrickable. They are currently out of stock. However, it's the same material as a large keyboard mat. Honestly, you'll save some money by buying one from Amazon. Plus the selection is immense on Amazon; so I'm sure you'll find one that you like. Regarding the tweezers, I bought a set of them from Amazon. Check the following link: amzn.to/3ZVZW8G
