I was going to joke about there not being enough stickers, but actually, this is Racers, there's always room for more and I am displeased with all that retail space going to waste and remaining stickerless.
Looks like it misplaced its bumper ;-)
There are some really nice pieces here, but I find it hard to build around the pull-back motor.
Not one of my favourite Racers sets, no (I think that honour belongs to "Hot Scorcher"), but I still like that Huwbot is focussing on these more and more.
is that technic assembly at the back a launch mechanism? or just scenery?
@Brickalili yes, it looks as if by twisting the grey knob both arms would rise in synchron. How well that works with cars having different heights? That's another question.
I didnt have this... but i had the Black one from this wave of pull backs.
I have this set, it's currently sitting on display with my other Racers sets.
@SirZed It works well enough, since it grabs the car by the wheels iirc, making the vehicle height irrelevant.
