The LEGO Car Blog

Recommendation: no 5 / 10 by The LEGO Car Blog Team

The 8815 ‘Speedway Bandit' promises much. It looks like a 1972 with the bonus of an engine. At 78 pieces it should have been the ultimate in cheap thrills in 1991. However, it's handling was hobbled by new steering parts that include that awful flexible rack that Lego foisted on us for a few years; this makes the steering wheel feel far too flimsy in your hand as it has no other support. The engine's nice, if a bit quiet, and not at all smooth thanks to the crank only being supported at one end! It'll oversteer nicely though, if you're gentle.
