“A very well designed and executed set. It's only downfalls are that there are way too many stickers, 32 to be exact, and there are no cool contraptions on the cars to take out the other racer.”

“Overall, the two cars are well made, playable, designed and have decent accuracy with the original. But some stickers and special pieces, in a try to make it more accurate, made it with some odd things on the design and building. But it is a good option to get two cool cars,... More with some innovations in the building.”
