42053-1 Technic 2016 1166 parts 8.2% repair risk Intermediate
Command the intricate details of heavy machinery with the LEGO Technic Volvo EW160E (42053-1), a 1166-piece set replicating the real-life wheeled excavator. Developed in partnership with Volvo Construction Equipment, this model features a classic yellow and black color scheme. Operate the versatile pneumatic boom and functional grabbing bucket, then rotate the massive superstructure for optimal positioning. The detailed cab includes a seat, armrests, sun visor, and adjustable mirrors, enhancing its authenticity. For added stability, extend the outriggers and lower the front blade, even lifting the entire structure. Rebuild this impressive creation into a heavy-duty Volvo L30G compact material handler for a new engineering challenge. This model can also be upgraded with the LEGO Power Functions 8293 motor set for motorized functions and working lights.
