 OMG its suppose to click like that?Feb 20, 2010
I'm sitting here laughing because I believed we had received a broken set. I couldn't for the life of me imagine that anyone would think this horribly loud clicking was a good idea. The toy is cool and my son really likes it (he is 3) He builds all kids of vehicles with it. Gives them names like the super plane of the future today. I am glad I just read a review on how to remove the clicker. That will be tomorrow's project. I wish the pieces stayed together a bit better but now knowing I can stop this horrible clicking I will give it 4 stars instead of 3
 Noisy & frustrating (but you can kill the clicker)Feb 13, 2010
This toy is both EXTREMELY noisy and very frustrating to my children.
The toy is frustrating because if you so much as breath near it the whole thing falls to pieces and needs to be built again. My 3 year old has learned to work around the fragility of his creations and is just careful since he likes to watch it motor around the floor.
Then there is the NOISE. This thing is absolutely ridiculous in the amount of noise it makes. I was constantly making the kids go play somewhere else because it is just amazing how loud it is. This may be the loudest toy we have and we have alot of toys.
So... I took matters into my own hands. I opened the motor to seek and destroy the clicker.
For anyone who is so completely irritated with this thing as I was, it is actually fairly easy to remove the clicker. Don't do what I did and take the whole thing apart to be sitting in a pile of gears thinking "now where is that clicker".
Set the motor on a surface with the screws facing up. Remove the four screws then gently lift the cover straight up. Now flip that cover over. Do you see the little white thingie sticking out? That is your noise maker, unscrew its one screw and throw the screw and the piece of plastic in the garbage. Now put the cover back on and you are good to go.
take apart toyJan 21, 2010
this toy was for my 3yo son, he loves to take things apart and put them back together and thats exactly what this toy offers. he can make different vehicles by moving and changing parts around and it even has a motor to make some of the parts move. unfortunatly some of the parts fit very loose and fall out easily, the motor is not very strong so the cars do not move much on our carpet, and the motor is very loud with a headache inducing "clicking noise". our box didnt come with any instructions so we had to follow the pictures on the outside of the box, not that that is hard to do, but we had broken down the box once it was opened so we had to dig it back out. overall my son enjoyed it on christmas, but now he doesnt play with it because it was just frustrating.

 Quick fix for the clicking noiseJan 08, 2010
This toy is a ton of fun. We purchased it for our 3.5 year old, but the 6 and 2 year olds play with it just as much. It is so simple for them to build vehicles, we can get a little peace and quiet! Speaking of quiet, the clicking sound is very annoying and loud, however...if you remove the 4 screws from the main piece (with the battery compartment) carefully, you will find the culprit. There is a plastic piece that clicks against one of the gears and is held on by one screw. Simply remove it and put the top back on. Tada. Don't let the noise keep you from this cool toy.
 Fun toy, awful soundDec 25, 2009
This is a great toy. Much more realistic than vehicles made with legos, with rolling wheels and spinning propelers. My 4 year old loves it, and it is safe for my 1 year old. However, the clicking sound it makes when it is on is VERY loud and annoying. I am trying to convince my son that the toy is even more fun when it is off because he can make it go faster by pushing it. My fingers are crossed it will work, because otherwise we will not be playing with it.
