Ratch Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 For this review, I asked my thirteen year-old grandson to build the kit and noted his observations and feelings about the build.History:The LEVC TX (previously known as the TX5) is a purpose-built hackney carriage manufactured by the British commercial vehicle maker London EV Company (LEVC), a subsidiary of the Chinese carmaker Geely. It is the latest in a succession of purpose-built hackney carriages produced by LEVC and various predecessor entities. The LEVC TX is a plug-in hybrid range-extender electric vehicle.The vehicle is designed to comply with Transport for London’s Taxi Private Hire regulations, which banned new diesel-powered taxis from January 2018, requiring zero-emissions capability.Review:Scale is not stated but believed to be 1/27. Dimensions are 179mm long and 68mm tall. There are 45 parts. The kit is manufactured in India. Instructions consist of a single sheet illustrating assembly over 14 steps, with a further illustration for placement of the stickers.No Skill Level but age stated as 6+. Flying Hours are not included.RRP £18.99.Build:Lewis found this build easier than the Speedtail. Whether this was because of the kit, or that he had gained experience from the previous build is a moot point. He needed little guidance from me and enjoyed this build more. Again, he asked to keep the model, and thought it was “Great!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
