Here we have the Go--Kart Racer by LEGO City. This is set number 30589. Contains 39 bricks.
So it looks like we get to make ourselves a nice purple race car and sorry for the
bad lighting. This is just something to kill some time while I'm waiting for a project to get done,
and that's a project for work. So let's just open this up here very carefully so I can
make a really nice thumbnail out of that. Okay let's see what kind of parts we get in there.
Now poly bags usually have some hidden treasures in them.
So we never know what we're going to find. Well here we got a cute little instruction manual and
a one-sided minifig head with a smirk and one of these telephone bases that's in purple. I think
that's medium or dark lilac. I'm not sure what the official name is. Some 1 by 3 purple plates.
Oh? A coral torso. Yeah. I mean I'm always collecting torsos and stuff.
I want these 1 by 2 by 1 by 4 downwards angular plates.
The vehicle chassis, and i try to stay away from those when I'm doing tutorials.
Now some of you've already told me you don't have those and an engine scoop that is
pearl silver and some big tires and helmets 1 by 2 plate number one get a few of those in there
and a 1 by 2 by 1 by 2 downwards angler plate looks like we get two of those this retro old
school steering wheel and a rim that wants to roll around so this set really has parts to make a
small vehicle so you really won't be able to make anything cool out of this oh this is something new
to bed that wasn't straight didn't make a great little bumper but you could use
it as a rear spoiler too okay well it's your lucky day guys and gals is we're going to be
doing a build in this video too so you don't have to jump to the second channel for that
just a piece of paper eight and a half by eleven it looks like
so let's start building or let's build it and that's the slogan of our community
let's build it we even have a link to the discord server below if you're interested in joining that
and yes it it's free you don't have to pay and guess what there's no drama in there so we ban
all the drama we haven't had anything going on here in a while so hopefully nothing bad happens
so uh what's been up with me not a whole lot i've been well doing this stuff for most of the summer
every vacation plan has been falling through and i just threw my hands up in the air and give up and
say okay i'll just do some lego instead and yes my voice is kind of crackling because guess what
it is one of those early mornings again it's like three in the morning yeah and it's one of those
well i call it early morning but i need to go to bed
but what i'm going to do is film this real quick because i need to let my eyes
rest from the computer i mean
i've been working non-stop since the the pandemic and since that's pretty much over and done with
you think the workload would be over and done with now i get more side jobs and i am with my day job
but anyways my boring work i've been also been cranking out a lot of some new tutorial
stuff that i had on the burners and just finally getting around to building them
and some of these sets have some nice parts to harvest from and i need to get the parts
so guess what i gotta do i gotta build it then i can take the parts oh and by the way
this set was uh given to me as a gift so this wasn't something that lego gave me for review
so i think these poly bags range for about four to five dollars so it's not too terribly bad
and so far it's a pleasant build it's not boring or anything it's just i'm fatigued out from
programming a database today it was a nasty one but i got it done
that's why i'm kind of against that app where you have to do the building instructions you know
i know lego's trying to cut back on the paper you know like this what do i do with
these when i'm done i don't throw my manuals away i don't recycle them i hang on to them
because they're very valuable for
looking up parts and i'm starting to yawn
so i always say my manuals for parts references and stuff
even the manuals i've been writing up i've been kind of saving
okay kind of zoning out here
yeah i've been just trying to get stuff done as far as for mocks i really
if the ideas are there i just haven't had time to really get into them right now and
those pesky rims keep rolling off well
their days are numbered why because we're going to be putting them in tires
there's one
and i've had a few complaints about why do i do a lot of furniture tutorials on youtube
or on patreon you know when i build houses and such i don't i'm going to be honest with
you guys and gals i don't either i don't like to do the furnishings or i just don't have an
idea at the time so a lot of the furniture you see in my houses is
just stuff that i had to cobble up throughout the months or even years
and well i'm getting older and my memory may not be as well i'm not a sharp i don't want to
you know trick myself thinking i can remember how to build something so i don't do that
all right so i'm going to make three little pylons of cones or whatever
and the only thing left is a little visor i'll hang on to that
and that is it so let's take a look here and see we have so obviously you got our minifigure
and with the purple gloves to match the car or the race car matter of fact you know what these would
make great little if you're into making uh well this is a go-cart but well this just broke apart
all right why isn't he not going in there is it like one of those friends
cars does he have to hunch huh yep that's what he has to do
you can't make him stand up you got to bend him a little bit right there
that's it and he got these cones and you can make an obstacle course
you can drive around you know that kind of thing so the build quality well obviously we're done but
it kept me entertained it wasn't boring or anything it was it's really nice quick build
build quality it seems pretty strong it doesn't feel brittle or anything like that
that's good and what's the drop value can this be dropped in a lego city yes
you can you could put this in a lego city it's already done it's completely isolated you can
have the colony and have them driving on the road
which where i'm at is illegal to drive a go-kart on the city streets but you could just make an
off-road track for it as well so it does have some play value it can be dropped in the city and such
so yeah this can be used or you could even make different colors of these and make a go car track
so honestly in my opinion it is a nice little build do i recommend it for an a fall for an
adult fan of lego builder uh if you've got a city yeah this would be a quick uh quick remedy to fill
in a hole or to drop in your city that to have an extra vehicle but i think it would be more suited
for younger builders this one here is range five and up but honestly with the small pieces
and with the way things are i would rate this set for 18 and up it's a nice little
build quick and easy and you don't even have to stress over this one this is
this is what it is it's just a golf cart with a minifigure
