One of the best things about Randi Rain is how she can get my old motor running again.

[@quintessenceSL]

Pretty slick making your own rivet.

[@tarstarkusz]

The euphemisms must have been a blast. Never saw or heard of this one before. Very nice job on the restore.

[@wimwiddershins]

I kinda remember having something like this, definitely remember those cars with the metal roller wheels. Cool toy!

[@RandiRain]

They made several different kinds of these, but this is the only one that I know of that you can control the speed. The others are just roller coasters. There's a lift hill, and it's just gravity.

[@adamkalb1412]

What a trip down memory lane❤

[@RandiRain]

Did you have one of these?

[@adamkalb1412]

@@RandiRain Hi Randi❤️! Yes, indeed! I have been looking for years via eBay to find a working Tomy Power Up Speedway to add to my Tomy collection🏁🌈🙏🏻

[@CH6P23]

Never seen one of these in Australia , amazing engineering

[@skipbreakfast]

my immediate thought was "Yanno.....Lego Technic pneumatics would make this pretty freaking awesome."

[@stevendunn264]

I like the magnet trick.

[@georgemartinezjr]

Ya I been trying to get her To use Magnitic Dish

[@unorthdoxcleric6953]

Yes, I bought one of these from Ebay France about 3 months ago, great vid if I ever need to fix mine, thanks Randi.

[@ElDarren]

What a cool little race track. I don't remember seeing this one when it was new. Great refurb video Randi!

[@bluedotdinosaur]

Wow, I had this. I recognize the pumps. I could not remember at all what it was called until now.

[@crushedcan5378]

the way all these racing tracks work is super interesting, also when is the tomy museum gonna be made?

[@RandiRain]

I've got the games for it, just not a place.

[@Lion_McLionhead]

A good toy to restore might be a vintage 100 in 1 electronics kit, actually getting 1 of the harder projects to work. Just remember none of the projects working beyond the 5 easiest.

[@canonsonico3752]

Great toy! Nice to see you again randiii!

[@gshingles]

What the... neat concept for a game though. 😀

[@Traxxbandit]

Hey Randi, that was really awesome. had a thought. if you pop the roller out polish the tips. put a touch of graphite on the holes then pop the rollers back in that will help out some as well. Also what kind of glues do you use. i need a good clue that will bond to a x-Maxx body with escrow. the glue kept drying out and it would peel away from the body. it is a pretty heavy duty plastic.. thank you.

[@antoniodemonio9]

Try shoe goo and fiberglass tape

[@Theduel5618]

as always great job 👌

[@RandiRain]

Thank you so much 😀

[@jukingeo]

Wow! This is a really cool toy! (Great job on the restoration as well!) It is actually the first time seeing it too. While I have seen sets based on the friction / thrust principal (namely Hot Wheels), I never seen it like this.

[@RandiRain]

I just scored another one of these.

[@jukingeo]

@@RandiRain Cool! I have seen it a few times that you restored more than one of a particular toy. Lay an Egg was one of the ones I recently saw that you had two videos of. Good game! I remember that one. I had a couple of the Tomy hand held games as well, such as Digital Diamond and Blip. Of course I took both apart as I was quite the mad scientist myself growing up. I quickly realized there was nothing digital or electronic about those games! The Digital Diamond worked well, but I did have problems with Blip. I no longer have them though. I did keep the Mattel electronic games though. I have baseball and football II.

[@georgemartinezjr]

Boy Rand never knew about rubbing Wax paper ona Slide now ah Days there Plastic I guess soray them with Pam😂

[@georgemartinezjr]

Or Silacone Spray Lube😊

[@tarstarkusz]

Is there any particular reasons you didn't just use the bees wax?

[@RandiRain]

I'm assuming you mean instead of wax paper? If so, the wax paper just polishes it really. Bees wax would be too sticky.
