Box Contains Many Parts See more Review: Fantastic! - Fantastic product. Bought for my 11 year old son as he's very interested in educational toys. Most of the parts to this kit feel solid and well made and all the connections are made using poppers (like you get on clothing) which makes snapping different circuits together a breeze and not easily broken in childrens hands. The kit also comes with a very informative booklet, which not only shows you how to build the different items, but explains clearly why things happen in a simple format which my son understood easily. The kit also encourages experimentation which kept my son going back for more after he had built everything. Well worth the money! Review: Fun fun fun! - I bought this for my 8 year old brother and have sat for hours tinkering with the little devices. Very broad choice of things to make from the pre-set things to your own creations (if you're electronically minded). The only problem we've had so far is a fuse blown, but it came with a replacement so not to worry! Certainly very educational and interesting. ## Features - Learn about electric circuits. Experiment with circuits - Find out how to control the speed and direction of an electric motor - Find out about different types of switches - Build a gear driven car and a fan propelled car - Make a fan propelled boat, Construct a propeller driven boat ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000QY6HYI | | Assembly Required | Yes | | Batteries | 2 AA batteries required. | | Batteries Required? | Yes | | Batteries included? | No | | Battery Type(s) | aa | | Best Sellers Rank | 342,237 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) 3,070 in Educational Science Kits | | Colour | Multicolor | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (199) | | Date First Available | 23 May 2007 | | Educational Objective(s) | Numeracy, Literacy & Spacial Awareness | | Item model number | ELKT90000 | | Language | English | | Manufacturer recommended age | 8 - 12 years | | Material Composition | 95% plastic | | Material Type(s) | Plastic | | Number of Game Players | 1 to 4 | | Product Dimensions | 46 x 33.4 x 4.8 cm; 780 g | | Radio Control Suitability | indoor | | Remote Control Included? | No | | tech_spec_battery_description_toys | AA | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Cambridge Brainbox - **Educational objective:** Numeracy, Literacy & Spacial Awareness - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 46 x 33.4 x 4.8 centimetres - **Size:** Small - **Theme:** Car ## Images !['Cars & Boats' Electronics and Science Construction Kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61krSvIVsfL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: what sort of fueses does it uses** A: The box is with my grandson but i think they were 20mm glass fuses which are available from maplins , ebay or electrical repair shop. **Q: Bought this for my grandson but it blew the fuses straight away can't find replacements anyone know what Amp they are please?** A: The fuse is a 20mm.glass fuse rated at 250volts at 2amps. You should be able to purchase them at most electrical shops or online from Maplin or Rapid etc. **Q: Can i get a replacement motor for this as when my son put the kit together the motor didnt work.** A: Return it or ask for full refund if its new. if not you can buy the motors on many internet sites inc e Bay , RS components, Maplin's the motors are only a couple of pounds each. Good luck **Q: Can the boat be put in water** A: I wouldn't like to put it in water, don't think it would do it a lot of good especially if you have the power connection on it.Hope this helps. Our grandson has had many hours of fun with his set. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic! *by G***Y on 4 April 2016* Fantastic product.

Well worth the money! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun fun fun! *by S***S on 22 April 2010* I bought this for my 8 year old brother and have sat for hours tinkering with the little devices. Very broad choice of things to make from the pre-set things to your own creations (if you're electronically minded). The only problem we've had so far is a fuse blown, but it came with a replacement so not to worry! Certainly very educational and interesting. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cars and boats *by M***N on 9 February 2010* Not bad, the instruction manual is a little confusing in places but not so that one cannot build the models ( I am a Physics teacher!). I don't think this will be as durable as I had expected. Nevertheless, a decent enough kit which is a good alternative to the ever present games consoles!!! Recommended at the price for the technical youngster. --- ## 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.tn/products/48197931-cars-and-boats-electronics-and-science-construction-kit](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/48197931-cars-and-boats-electronics-and-science-construction-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
