The LEGO Technic 42027-1 Desert Racer is built for rugged off-road action. This vehicle features a pull-back motor, propelling it forward across challenging terrains. It mounts four chunky tires, specifically designed to conquer obstacles, complemented by a roll-cage for driver protection. Visible details include a front winch to navigate tough spots, a row of lights across the top, and an angled exhaust. The bodywork is finished with decals and a race number. For extended play, this Desert Racer combines with the LEGO Technic 42026 Black Champion Racer, forming a Race Truck with two pull-back motors, which measures over 21 cm long. The standalone model measures over 8 cm high, 17 cm long, and 9 cm wide.
