Pictorial review: 8207 Dune Duster

[Lost_In_Noise]

8207 was released in 1996, contains 86 pieces, and features steering by and a pendular suspension setup for the rear wheels. It cost me about 4$ on BL, and 8$ in retail.

This set utilizes the "Technic, Steering Rack Top" to steer.

We start by constructing the chassis, then adding the back wheels suspension.

The pendular suspension is made of Liftarms 1 x 4 and some axles.

Next is the steering.

Steering rack fixed, and you get an idea how the rear suspension is set up.

Finished suspension.

Headlights in place. It looks a bit like a Super Seven to me.

Finished the rollcage.

Seat added, with a nice LT logo.

Finished. The model has a pretty close turning radius due to the short distance between the axles.

Imagine this coming up in your rear-view mirror.

Size comparison to the 8225, 8815, 8832 and 1972

Thanks for reading. Please comment on anything I should have done differently, and vote on the poll.

I remember building this set, and always thought it was one of the best ones from the mid-1990s. Thanks for the memories!

I like all your Go-Karts from the '90

for me it's fun to see that models off mine dark age. I drive for more than 20 years at real Go-Karts at the highest level and been 2 times dutch National Champion
