“Excuse the pun above... anyways, this car has an interesting feature: it can go in "off-road" mode(pictured above), or lock it into "street" mode, which makes the car lower to suit the mean streets of the Drome! It even has a slammer!”

BrickEconomy Member Review
“Slammer Rhino is a fantastic set packed with exciting features. It boasts street and off-road modes, cool tires, and slammer propulsion for an explosive start. While the rubber bands may break easily, the overall experience of racing on varied terrains makes this set a thrilling choice.”
