Lego Technic 42098 Car Transporter with Car for Kids Aged 11+ (2493 Pieces)

Car Transporter with Car Lego Technic 42098 for Children Aged 11 and Up (2493 pieces)

The large-scale and intricately detailed Lego Technic 42098 set represents a realistic model of a car transporter with a trailer and a blue sports car. This set is aimed at children aged 11 and up, teenagers, as well as adult enthusiasts of complex machinery and collecting. During assembly, the child becomes familiar with the principles of modern engineering, piston engines, lifting platforms, and mechanical locks, making the process not only entertaining but also educational.

The model is distinguished by its high functionality: the car platforms and the rear ramp are raised and lowered using special mechanical levers and gears. The car is secured on the platform for safe transportation. If desired, the set can be rebuilt into an alternative model — a Lego Technic truck with two cars for display, which expands play possibilities and doubles the interest in assembly.

Realistic Functions and Mechanics

• Lifting upper and lower tier platforms of the car transporter for loading and transporting toy cars.

• Lowering rear ramp and extendable ramps between the tractor and trailer for car entry.

• Working steering control of the truck's front wheels, brought out to a separate adjustment wheel.

• Fully detailed V6 engine with moving pistons under the tilting cab of the tractor.

• Model of a blue sports car with a working steering system and visible V8 engine.

• Mechanical locks for securing transported cars on the platform.

• Ability to transform into an alternative 2-in-1 truck model with two cars.

Compatibility with Other Sets

The Lego Technic 42098 set has standardized element scales, allowing the blue sports car from the set to be replaced or supplemented with other models from the Lego Technic line:

• The blue sports car is made to the exact scale of the Lego Technic Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 model (item 42093).

• The dimensions and loading platforms of the car transporter are designed to accommodate and transport the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 model (42093) on the upper or lower deck.

• All mechanisms, beams, axles, and gears are fully interchangeable with all sets in the Lego Technic series for creating custom models and special machinery.

Instructions and Assembly

The assembly process is divided into step-by-step stages using detailed illustrated paper instructions included in the set. Step-by-step element dosing by packages allows for sequential assembly of units without chaos on the worktable:

• The detail packages are numbered, facilitating the step-by-step assembly of the passenger car first, then the tractor and trailer.

• Detailed graphic diagrams help accurately connect transmission elements, gear drives, and piston groups.

• Additional electronic instructions for assembling the alternative 2-in-1 model are available in the free Lego Building Instructions app.
