Ages 10+
Car nuts and engineers of all ages, gear up for an epic automotive adventure! 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 will 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 suspensions, and of course a visible V8 engine complete with a crankshaft, pistons, and exhaust fan. An adjustable steering wheel can be installed for left- or right-hand side driving. The sleek vintage design is sure to impress.
