I just got the Challenger race system and love it. It's a blast. But I have noticed that the car overheats (and consequently stops running for a while) quite quickly. Like after about two 25 lap races. Is this normal? Is there any way to cool this car down?

I use my Challenger all the time as a pace car and it has never overheated.
In the first week of using it, the front lights (silver things) fell out - actually they were bashed out as the Challenger doesn't stop when there is a victim on the track.
I glued them back in, but perhaps you could remove them leaving ventilation holes in the front. It might help, but it might allow dust in and spoil the workings...

I am glad to report that after hooking up my new Trakmate variable power supply, the Challenger ran five 25 lap races in a row without overheating the car (set at about 14v). I presume therefore, that the 2 Ninco wall warts were just giving it too much juice. Whatever the cause was, we're havin' fun now.
