Happy Up's Age Recommendation:
10 years & up
Build your very own model race car from the inside out. As you snap each piece into place, you’ll uncover the amazing secrets of how cars steer, shift, and speed through the streets.
You'll create a working four-speed manual transmission with reverse and neutral, a drive wheel torque differential for better traction and handling around curves, shock-absorbing suspension, and of course a visible V8 engine complete with a crankshaft, pistons, and exhaust fan. The completely visible engine allows you to see firsthand how the parts work together. An adjustable steering wheel can be installed for left- or right-hand side driving.
With authentic automotive components, this model offers a fun and unique building experience. The sleek vintage design is sure to impress. A 40-page full-color manual guides the build and teaches key mechanical engineering concepts like gears and engines.
