    Very cool.
    Most of the fun I have with RC centers around building them. With the trend going more towards the RTR side of things, its good to see a builders kit still available for kids to get started with.
    Two thumbs up.
    Good to here about the collaboration your doing with the other guys. Can't wait to see your vid. You already got Matt beat, his speed limit is determined by how close the nearest curb is. Hah.

    When I was in this age category we only had mini slot cars. There was a massive wooden track in town. We rode our bikes there to test our slots against the rest of the town’s early tweekers!
    Great memories 😊
    This kit is wonderful for the new age of tweekers!

    What an awesome toy! When you introduced this I was worried it might just be a case of great idea but with poor execution and then seeing how the red car drove to begin with I was thinking it was a fail. However the 4WD conversion made all the difference. I want to be a kid again so I can open the big set on Christmas Day 😂 The tuneability is really what would excite me the most although it is also important the car is fun to drive.
