I want to buy this for my son. What "accessories" (other items) do I need to buy for it to work (batteries, wadding, etc.)?

In order to launch the rocket, you will need the follow. You will need a battery for the launch ignition system. - It uses a single 9v battery. Rocket engines - You can use a8-3 for the Crossfire, a B4-2 for the Amazon (larger rocket), and move up to something more powerful later. The engine codes work like this (Impulse)(Thrust)-(Recovery charge delay). Recovery wadding - This is a flame resistant paper that you stuff into the rocket. It protects the parachutes from the recovery charge that fires after the engine burns out. To build the rockets themselves, which come unfinished. Scissors, a ruler, sandpaper (for the wooden fins, and finishing), carpenters glue, modelling knife (like an X-acto), masking tape, some plastic cement. The small rocket is actually unpainted, and you'll need some spraypaint to finish it. You can also get some clear coat to seal the paint on the rocket afterwards.

First make sure u put in 2 triple AAA batteries.There is an on and off power button that lites up red when on. It works greats!

You will need batteries, a motor controller board, and a microcontroller, like an Arduino nano. Sensors, like a range finder, would also be good. Also, this comes with ZERO assemby instructions. But you should be able to figure out how to assemble the kit after some head scratching.

I would recommend getting the drill which comes with a battery ( maybe two ) and the charger. That way you have a nice drill/charger, and believe me he will be happy.

I'd like to know the same thing! How about it, does this kit have a battery charger, or do you need to recommend one for us to purchase?

Thank you all, I appreciate your feedback! I'll try with batteries first (when I receive it - ordered today), and maybe order this next! Thank you again.

Yes, you just need to make sure you know their equipment manufacturers and models. One other thing to consider is to get them a wall plug in usb charger if they use the included rechargeable batteries.

I would suggest a ratchet set that you can pick up at Wal-Mart and it will also contain some screw driver parts. I also used my battery operated power drill which made life a lot easier. Basically a regular kit will get you by, no fancy tools are needed.

It comes with everything you need to put together and fly, except batteries of course. My kids and I have a lot of fun with ours. I bought two of them and they are great.

I just used regular AA batteries, Energizer I believe, and it has worked just fine. I hope you are able to find something that makes it work better for you. My little guy plays with his everyday!

I ordered this one. It came with controller, a battery, instructions, a tool kit and a charger for the battery. I would recommend upgrading to a lipo battery and a dual charger for extended fun but out of the box this one is good to go.

The lilliput has adaptor plates..and you can use a couple of different kinds of batteries. With a few hours of charge.

Just batteries, however I really wish I got the moving vehicle with it! If they are older, my niece is 11& loved it but after a while wanted more for it!

Simple. You need a two channel transmitter. Futaba is a popular brand. You will need a battery . 7.2 volt any where around 3500mah will give a good run time. Duratrax makes a good quality battery. Then last by not least. A charger.The simpler the better especially new to the hobby. You can find all of these items easily on Amazon or ebay. Towerhobbies.com s a gorgeous resource as well. If you need help just let me know. I am glad to help out now R/C people. It's a fun hobby.-Matt

You need one of this item for it to work. Each of the two cylinders is the length of 2 AA batteries. And I may add that this was the best accessory ever for the leappad 2, which you probably know eats regular batteries like a monster. I hope this helps :)

You don't need any accessories with the set, except for fresh batteries. One of my children recently purchased "LEGO Technic 4x4 Crawler 9398" from Amazon, and it works fine with just the contents of the box.
