Mini Buggy...
Whether you've already fallen in love with UGears' designs, which include working wooden mechanisms, or you've never ever built one in the past, the UGears Mini Buggy model package is the purchase you've been waiting for.

Just take them one action at a time, and you'll have the buggy assembled in no time.

The Mini Buggy model package only has 80 parts and is less than five inches tall, making it among UGears' most standard designs. You can quickly complete assembly within an hour without prior experience. As a result, this model works well for children who have help from their parents, however it is designed for those who are 14 and older.

Even though the UGears Mini Buggy is made from wood, it still has a motor. This one isn't powered by batteries or gas, though; it utilizes elastic band.

As the switch releases the elastic band' stress, your model moves, and you can view the gears interact to propel your buggy.

Do not attempt to change the buggy's direction with the back wheels, because these are for stabilization, not steering.

Once you've assembled your first UGears Mini Buggy, you'll be back for more. Buy multiple designs to extend the fun of assembly, and then use your fleet to hold races.
