“At the front of the Racer there is a single wheel, with a slanted piece above it, and connected to that are two rockets, one on each side. Behind that, sits Timmy, in the cockpit of the ship. Behind that, there is a large engine-like construction with two propellers on top,... More and fire shooting out from it's rear.”

“This is the smallest of the Time Cruisers set, and despite its size, it still manages to build in the feature that something moves when the vehicle is pushed along the ground. In this case, the wheels turn the propellers on the top back of the vehicle. Design-wise the... More vehicle is sturdy, but the colours seem blocky and uninspiring. The lack of the windscreen above gives it negative points, although the use of joysticks instead of a wheel is a good touch.”
