Here are all the pieces sorted out. Note the new multitool. As well, bottom right corner is a new piece. This acts as the main body piece of the mongoose. Those grooves are for the axle pieces also new to this set. The axle pieces can be see at left middle with the tiny ball in the middle of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay, let’s get into the build!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You start by adding pieces tp the main strut. Then build up the front armor section, then add both the front and rear seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next we add the axle pieces. In the instructions it says to add the wheels too. For the purposes of this review, I wanted to specifically show just the axle pieces and how they connect. The ball is inserted in between the grooves of the main strut. This locks the axle into place. However, there is plenty of room for it to wiggle, which allows for some cool suspension and turning of the wheels!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
