Compact Racer

The UGEARS Compact Racer is an Easy-rated wooden model of an open-wheel race car, designed as a starter build for young racing fans. There is no motor: it rolls and coasts when pushed along a flat surface, and grippy rubberized tires help it through the corners. Set up blocks, toys or a length of string and any tabletop becomes a race circuit.
