Description
The Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3245 from the Lego Technic series is the top model of 2015, beating the record once again: never before have so many individual parts been installed in a Lego-Technic model. The truck impresses with how much it looks like the original, which is achieved by much more than the special part with the Mercedes-Benz logo. The model is extremely stable and has a lot of functions. Special mention should be made about the independent wheel suspension on all four axles, and the motorised pump, which prevents annoying manual pumping for the pneumatic functions. Another interesting solution is the steering of the two front axles, which shows that Lego Technic is getting closer and closer to real technology. Last but not least, is that new pneumatic components are available thanks to this model - longer cylinders and, above all, new hoses and new connection sockets on the components, so that the assembly is much easier. All in all, the Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3245 naturally deserves the highest rating of six stars.
