Review: Fun Build. Not for beginners. - Difficult Build. Beautiful end result. My main complaint is when a part needs to be a mirror image of a previously built part, the instructions just give you a range of part #'s instead of step by step instructions. I'm somewhat dyslexic when it comes to diagrams, so this caused me some problems. After tearing it apart a couple of times, I finally got it right. Also, the tabs on the seat cushions were much too large for the holes they needed to go into. After a little sanding, shaving, and waxing, I got them together. All in all, it was a good project. Not recommended for beginners.
Review: Great Kit! - One of the funnest models that I have built in a while. I'd consider myself and intermediate modeler, and this was plenty challenging. It is well designed. The instructions are good. And it actually runs! For a wooden model with LOTS of moving parts and gears, the fact that it actually works is pretty cool. Well worth the investment of money and time. Highly recommended.

## Features

- FOR PASSIONATES: If you too are a miniature-builder passionate and you love spending peaceful Sunday afternoons working on DIY projects, then we have a unique and special piece to add to your already-established collection: a plywood UGEARS roadster mechanical vehicle.
- A GREAT PRESENT: A father, grandpa or even boss that is passionate about miniature models and building premium mechanical toys are always difficult to shop for, but from now on you have found the one piece that they will surely enjoy making and driving, a rubber band engine roadster.
- COMPLEX DESIGN AND MECHANISM: Not only is the VM-01 model made with premium plywood, a resistant yet flexible wood that will pass the test of time, but the roadster is actually functional due to the integrated transmission alongside a rubber band engine and a suspension on the front wheel.
- A FAMILY PROJECT: Instead of watching TV and doing the same-old activities with your family, why not show your kids the fun of building exquisite wooden models, with a DIY that can involve the entire family? And, after the building is over, you can turn on the roadster and even watch the engine working and the valves moving.
- A BEAUTIFUL HOME DÉCOR PIECE: After the building and testing part, you can re-try the model as many times as you want and pilot it due to the transmission that switches to 3 different modes (forward, backward and idle), yet the wonderful clear wooden model is great as a piece of home décor too, showing your passion for sports car and miniature models.

And it actually runs! For a wooden model with LOTS of moving parts and gears, the fact that it actually works is pretty cool. Well worth the investment of money and time. Highly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unbelievable level of function. Highly enjoyable and satisfying kit.
*by S***G on July 14, 2025*

Do not pass this one up due to the price! It is a good value for what it provides. The quality of a U-Gears kit is better than most other brand kits I have experienced. Not a single piece broke during assembly. But there are plenty spares included. The 108 page instruction manual provides clear photographic details of assembly with available videos of critical and/or complicated steps. I enjoyed every hour of this build. The details are too numerous for this review, but when wound up and started, not only the wheels turn, but the engine pistons all function, and even the radiator fans turn. The instructions call for several timely tests of each function as you complete steps of assembly. They have even provided solutions for common issues found during a test. This is definitely not for beginners.
