9392 Quad Bike

Post by spillerrec »

Today I bought the 9392 Quad Bike, mainly because I wanted to see if I could use the springs in my 6x4, as they look a bit softer. There are also 3 pf them, so just two of this low-cost set could do the task.
I also wanted the chain links as I didn't own any prior to buying this set.

I was actually positively surprised when building this set. The 8297-1 Off-Roader and the 8295-1 Telescopic Handler sets, which are the only recent sets I own, packed a fair amount of parts but the construction just feels weak if you ignore the look of them. They had a few nice features, but the way it was done was far from impressive and considering what you could have done with 1000+ parts just plain boring in my opinion.
This sets looks pretty nice and the construction is also pretty good even though it is not flawless. I think the ~200 parts are fairly well utilized in this set. (28 are chain links if I counted correctly.)

I also tried recording building it for fun, but my webcam went "dude, I can't hear you, I will just stop the recording for you" and I didn't notice it at all before I finished building it... darn, that was annoying...
I could try building the bonus model if you think it there would be any value of uploading such a video to YouTube though.

I wrote a full review on my blog: http://spillerrec.dk/2012/01/28/9392-quad-bike-review/
If the springs works better in my 6x4 than my current ones, I'm definitively buying another 9392. (Chain links are nice even if I'm not going to use them.) What do you guys think about this set?

I purchased mine today too, and am very impressed also with the selection of parts! I didn't know it would have so many parts I don't.
