How to build ?
📕 You only need the parts and the instructions. You can purchase the PDF instructions on this shop (all versions included) and build with your own parts (you can build the manual version, then upgraded later by adding the motors and battery/remote). The Rebrickable inventory included the parts to build all versions so with spare for the manual one). See the end preview below to see the difference.
