Description
The Universal Set with Flex System from the Lego Technic series is the first set of its kind. With the Flex components, various, previously inaccessible functions can be implemented. This principle works in the same way as a Bowden cable, e.g. the way a bicycle brake works. Unfortunately, the Flex system never really caught on and was discontinued. I built what I consider to be the best model and rated it accordingly. All in all, this set gets five stars in the overall rating.
