Review: Brings Lego Creations Alive - The grandparents gave this kit as an early birthday present for our son who is turning 7. He absolutely loves it! Since he received a Lego kit with a wind-up motor last Christmas (Toy Story 7590) he has been doing everything he can to animate his Lego creations, using the little wind-up motor to make everything from race cars to drills. Of course, once you get started in that direction, you want to do even greater things. So, he has been begging me to make an old Lego motor (from my childhood collection) work again. As you can imagine, when he opened this present he just about jumped to the ceiling with excitement! And this little motor has not disappointed. I have lost track of the hours he has spent during the last couple weeks putting it into motion. It also makes for great time together, because he constantly brings me in to give advice and help with details for connecting the gears correctly to harness the torque into the needed functions. I guess my only complaint would be the lack of directions. A simple diagram for how to connect the motor/switch/lights/battery pack would have been helpful. And the kit would have been a thousand times more accessible if it had come with a basic booklet giving examples of how it could be used in conjunction with the included gears/axels/joints. For a lone newbie into the world of simple mechanics and electronics, the kit's lack of instructions might be a serious limitation. But since my 7-year-old's Daddy is almost as excited as he is about Legos, the kit is exactly what was needed. :) The quality of the entire kit (motor, battery pack, connectors and accessories) is excellent--exactly as you would expect from Lego! We look forward to many years of play and learning! Review: A must have for the 8294 excavator - The Power Functions kit #8293 is a must have for the 8294 Excavator. The kit transforms the excavator into a real scale functioning excavator (I own real heavy equipment myself), which can actually dig dry sand, sifted loam, and we attached a small jewelry chain to it and it can lift things like Transfomers Bumblebee and some surprisingly heavy objects just like a real excavator does! So dont hesitate to get one of these. The motor is tiny, but is surprisingly powerful and also this kit has a nice quality switch that replicates a real hydraulic lever and also comes with accessory LED lights which snap right on easily and look sano. The Design of the battery box and the excavator is well done, it mounts underneath the tracked undercarriage and it lowers the center of gravity of the excavator, which increases its stability. Expensive, but worth the dough. ## Features - Includes a medium motor, battery box, light cable, switch and additional pieces to add new functions and features to your models - Power up your LEGO Technic creations! - Switch and cable measures over 9" (25cm) long; Switch (including orange switch) measures over 1" (3cm) long and under 1" (3cm) high and 1" (2cm) wide - Battery box measures over 2" (6cm) high, 3" (8cm) wide and 1" (3cm) deep; Light cable measures over 15" (39cm) long - M-Motor measures over 1" (4cm) wide and under 1" (2cm) high and 1" (2cm) deep; M-Motor and cable measures over 10" (26cm) long ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00160D1XQ | | Batteries | 6 AA batteries required. | | Best Sellers Rank | #347,766 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #10,526 in Toy Building Sets | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (410) | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 6.3 ounces | | Item model number | 6176897 | | Manufacturer | Lego | | Manufacturer recommended age | 9 years and up | | Product Dimensions | 5.55 x 1.89 x 10.31 inches | | Release date | August 1, 2008 | ## Images ![TECHNIC Power Functions Motor Set 8293 Building Kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gqixHHTqL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: If we have a lot of Legos, and kids with imagination to build things, what would I need to purchase aside from this box (and maybe RC and receiver)?** A: There is a book for Lego technique that gives ideas to kids to build things. I myself purchased this to make Lego Tech 42006 excavatar a powered and remote controlled. There are numerous sets that can be purchased that use the power functions. Check out legoCom for other sets. **Q: Does this work on non-technic Lego items?** A: You can use regular bricks to attach to, or build around, the motor. You will however need Lego technic pieces to take full advantage of it (eg. gears, cogs, shafts, etc.) **Q: Is there a companion set of axles, wheels, and perforated beams? This looks a little short of doing anything useful with non-Technic Lego sets.** A: There are sets like the LEGO 42006 Excavator and LEGO 9396 Helicopter that use this set as a motorized upgrade. I assume most who purchase this set already have a large LEGO collection that includes Technic. Theoretically, any of the LEGO Technic sets could be used with the LEGO 8293 set. I would also suggest finding a Technic MIX of parts to build with. Some kids, like mine, get a new set and build their own creations without ever building the intended model... **Q: What remote do i need to get to control this?** A: You might see its like the size of a play station remote expect its lego😄 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brings Lego Creations Alive *by D***Y on October 24, 2011* The grandparents gave this kit as an early birthday present for our son who is turning 7.

Wish that the lights and motor switch were separate, but kit works well. ## Frequently Bought Together - LEGO TECHNIC Power Functions Motor Set 8293 Building Kit - The LEGO Power Functions Idea Book, Volume 1: Machines and Mechanisms --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/1795393-technic-power-functions-motor-set-8293-building-kit](https://www.desertcart.be/products/1795393-technic-power-functions-motor-set-8293-building-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
