A remote-controlled Technic set for $100 that moves but doesn't impress — the RC gimmick is the whole pitch, and it's barely enough to carry a C.
Is the price fair?C+A hundred dollars for a glorified RC car with Technic branding feels like paying for the batteries.
Will you love it?C-The RC hook wears off fast and there's not much build left to love underneath it.
Holds its value?C-Unremarkable secondary market — this one moves in neither direction.

The Full Take
The RC Tracked Racer leans entirely on one selling point: it moves. Press a button, it rolls forward. That's genuinely fun for about ten minutes before you realize the build itself is sparse and the form factor is awkward — a flat, wide slab that looks unfinished from any angle. For $100, Technic fans in 2017 had better options, and the 370-piece count doesn't help justify the premium. The tracks are the highlight, offering some mechanical interest, but the rest of the build is routing cables and mounting a receiver. It's the kind of set that earns its purchase through novelty, not craftsmanship. If the RC functionality is the dream, it delivers — just don't expect anything beyond that one trick.
