Clementoni Science Museum Build Off Roader Mechanics Kit
This is a construction kit with a point to make. The model is an off-road vehicle built around a working shock absorber system – the real mechanism used in off-road racing – so once it is finished you can push it over a bump and actually watch the suspension do its job. That moment is the whole reason the kit exists.
It is part of Clementoni's Science Museum range, produced under licence with the London museum, and it is built the way a good engineering set should be: follow the illustrated instructions for the main build, then take it apart and rebuild the same parts into secondary models, or strike out and design something of your own to see whether the idea holds up.
Designed and developed in Italy, no batteries required, and recommended by Clementoni for ages 8 and over. It contains small parts and is not suitable for children under 3.

Clementoni recommend ages 8 and over. It is not suitable for children under 3 years as it contains small parts that can be swallowed or inhaled.

No. Everything in the model is mechanical.

Yes. The main build is an off-road vehicle, and the same parts can be rebuilt into secondary models using the instructions, or into designs of your own.
