Their larger models are quite a challenge to put together, for sure. But, very cool. The M1000 RR has a functional gearbox and you can change them using the right-side shift lever, just like on the real thing. Motor turns when the rear wheel rotates, too. It's pretty sweet. It is currently perched on the end of my desk at work.
Similar with the Porsche RS. No gearbox, but the 6 cyl boxer motor's pistons cycle as the rear wheels turn, the front wheels are controlled by the steering wheel, the doors function, and there's a hatch you can open to see the motor in the back. I put the light kit on this one and that even got my wife's approval to keep it in the family room.
Next up is the Daytona, which is even bigger and more complex. Have the light kit for this one, too. No idea where I'm going to put it, though.
