Dad
told me I could have these cars IF I drove them for awhile and then
did a review for you all.
So
here is what I think, plus some stuff Dad got me to do. We both took
the photos, I came up with the ideas for the pictures and the layout
of the review. Then we had fun playing with 'Photoshop' and making little
movies by adding lots of pictures together in a program called 'Coffeecup
GIF animator'.
It
is supposed to look like a roll of film, I hope you like it.
I really like the
cars because they remind me of the cars on 'Pimp my Ride' and on the
Games I play the Computer.
I don't really mind
that they do not have drivers because it is cool to have black windows
and anyway Dad promised to put coloured lights under the cars to make
them glow.
The main thing I
don't like is at my Dads Club the 'sport' track is too narrow for
them to spin on all the lanes, you can only use the two middle ones
all the way round. There are also only two so two people have to use
the old Porsche 'Wild 360' cars Dad has and they are not as good because
the guide is hard to set up the right way round in a race. You have
to make sure the white dots are facing forward but on the Nissans
you don't.
I would really like
some other cars like this because they are great fun to drive and
I think it is really funny when my friends try them for the first
time and they spin round. I also have the track record at my Dads
Club because I span the car at the end of the straight and crossed
the line backwards, it is 2.8 seconds on 'Mugello' and 1.9 seconds
on the wooden track.
I took the picture
below when we were doing the ones for the films, It is my favorite
and I want Dad to set it up again when he has put the lights in them
and then print it onto a T shirt.
Dad wants to do
some stuff on the cars he says people on the Forum like to know so
that's all from me. Bye.
I thought it would
be interesting to get an 11 year olds views on a release that was,
after all, aimed around his age group. I did my best not to interfere
or over rule much and tried to accomodate his wishes as far as look
and layout go. Kids have some great perspectives on life as yo ucan
see above.
Ok lets tie this
up with some technical stuff Toby could not care less about as long
as it works or Dad can fix it when not. I will keep it brief so as
not to detract from Toby's work.
They
really are sweet looking cars with great detailing, if you ignore the
black windows (easy to do if you are a youngster, harder if you were
hoping for a body to use in a Race somewhere)
One piece body with
few added details means one solid car and it will take alot of hard
knocks.¨
I would place it
up with the NASCARS and the Audi TT and Boxters for a great kids or
public event car.
Guide
assembly is pretty chunky, even compared to the Original 'Wild 360'
cars pictured above but it does the job, A diode set inside the car
(See below) means the guide can face either way, the arrow printed is
just to show guide removal direction.
There
are extra spaces for different magnet positions and also it seems to
me a space for a Digital board.
They even added
weight! not a first for a Manufacturer but not many have apart from
Proslot and erm ??
This weight IS needed
or the guide jumps out and the design of the braid means that contact
is not always easy to maintain. It was the same problem with the earlier
360s, I think braid attached at both ends of the guide works badly.
Easy
to strip down if you want but why would you? Unless you are a fiddle
freak like me of course!
Thats it, I hope
you enjoyed our alternative angle on a fun car.
