I built my green one "wrong" when I was 9. I didn't install the axle bushings. This created a passive floating suspension. When this car was entered at the mall, it noticeably darted ahead of the other kids cars. I think the floating axle kept the tires in contact with the track surface for more time, when the competitors tires would bounce n spin.

They are they are called "mini 4wd" they are big in Japan and Asia you can find them online. The Asian designs look crazy, they are on another level. Apparently US kids are too caught up taking selfies and looking at facebook to actually play anymore. Guess that's the reason Toys R Us is gone...

@@JohnSmith-ex6vt NO!!! The real reason Toys R Us is gone is because of the overpriced merchandise. You can buy the same merchandise for less at Walmart.

Growing up in Alaska, we never got the cool toys when they were popular. I remember finding the cars and a ton of accessories at half price around '91 and got at least three, but with no track to run them on they were basically just ridiculously cool stompers. I found two of the cars recently which prompted me to look them up on KZbin. They are the green, knobby tired 3x battery 1x engine 2 or 4 wheel drive model, and a yellow version of the 2x motor, 2x battery car I think you have here with the special one way spin drive wheels that don't let the engine brake. I recall having one that looked like a Lambo back then as well, but I have no idea where it is now.

At the time they were definitely cool. But they were discontinued for some major but I can't remember why. Looking back now getting a remote control car would have been better. Could only afford one and eventually got one engine and than the whole scene collapsed.

I wish I just wanted to see those real names of the whole racers in all four episodes of Record Breakers: World of Speed on TV series by DIC Entertainment for who they were. I wish just wanted to see those names of all twenty cars of Record Breakers: World of Speed on Dual-Turbo Series 1 and 2, Road Burner Series and Tri-Power Series for what they were, too. I wish they could remake Record Breakers: World of Speed at Walmart and Target by the Classic Collection for my whole classic collection of Record Breakers: World of Speed with all twenty cars while remaking Classic Toy Flashbacks.
