Tag: K’Nex Building Sets

Just like any other K’Nex sets, this one has parts that can rotate. This allows kids build moving models, like this helicopter with rotating blades.

The are detailed manual for building 3 models, and some more on K’Nex site. But you can actually build anything fro this set. The cars are very fast, so they are not for the indoor play. You can really use them only outside – the RC picks up the signal from a really big distance. On a smooth asphalt, the batteries hold on for a very long time, on a bumpy lawn they allow around 20 minutes of fast driving.

I want to show you our new K’Nex set. Knex-mobiles – a set for building radio-controlled models. My kids really liked it – every day you can go walk with a new radio-controlled car or some kind of monster. The set consists of a powerful motor with two large wheels (can’t turn, runs on 8 AA batteries), a block of front wheels (can turn), a remote control (powered by one battery) and a small bag with standard Knex parts.

We bought this set in a real-world shop. It’s a clone of K’Nex, but a good one. My son told me that this is “she”. She, the female robot, has no weapons (to my delighgt), and sherolls aroung and spins something in her hand.

A good thing about this set is a big number of long flexible rods (green on the picture). You can use them for construction of to outline and shape the craft.

The package of this K’Nex set. The figurines and pieces look pretty much close to the real ones.

Unlike many K’Nex sets, this one has small figurines you can add to the wheel.

This set is called Musical Ferris Wheel. The wheel rotates thanks to a tiny motor. You can assemble it in multiple ways.

Here I want to show our new crafts from K’Nex (during these cold weather, the children and I sat at home and played mostly with K’Nex). Our new set turned out to be a mixture of K’Nex and mini K’Nex (the kids called this set Lego-K’Nex because there are lot of Lego pieces with holes to join them to thr the mini k’nex pieces). We really liked the mini K’Nes – the parts attach to each other more easily than in a regular K’Nex, even though the crafts are not as sturdy. And it’s very interesting to connect large and small parts.
