IQ-KEY Perfect 1000 – STEM Educational Assembly Toy Kits, Creative Construction Engineering Builder Set for Kids [40 Models]

I loved Capsella when I was a kid, my little nephew came across what was left of it and was interested. I was just looking for some replacement parts. Came across this, and it's basically the same fun toy I had, still good quality, and still fun to be able to see the gears working inside!

Great Product!!! My boy loves it so much!!!!

Overall the product is impressive and has IKEA like instructions to follow. The quality could be better in the make and it may be a little too complex for younger children. Adult supervision recommended.

Received as a gift. I love how so many industrial vehicles, land air and sea can be modeled with so few modular components and gear linkages! The plastic encasing modules are stronger now than I remember as a kid, built on geodesic principles. Formula car, cable car, drilling rig, boat (with added foam for flotation), you name it, this thing may well be able to model it.

Got it to learn about mechanics. Its cool. Definitely built with little kids in mind but theres still value in it if youre cool with that.

You need to use the reducing gear capsule to increase the torque of the motor. It was always this way. First lesson I learned in the mechanical advantages of gearing.

I grew up in the 80s with Capsela, which this toy attempts to emulate. One of my favorite childhood toys. We purchased this set for my son who is mechanically inclined and he absolutely loves it.However there are some problems:1) The quality control isn’t up to the original Capsela. Gear modules have more friction and do not move as smoothly, vibrate aggressively and are noisy2) The motor does not always have sufficient torque even with a fresh pair of AA batteries. And this set does not include enough wires to use the control box while connecting 3 batteries in series. What little torque there is gets robbed by lower quality gear capsules.My advice is get your hands on some extra leads and run most projects off 3 AAA batteries, especially if you’re trying to run them on carpet.I may try applying a light lubricant to some of the gear boxes to improve their performance, something safe on plastics, although I worry it could ruin it.

I liked the concept, but was disappointed with the performance. The supplied motor is underrated to drive any of the gear and chain alignments. Basically lacked required Torque. Out of the box the light never worked. I will be returning this item.
