Real FX Radio Control Car Racing System

radio control cars are awesome, but they do require a pretty large real estate and slot cars on the other hand, is restricted to the guide slots, which sort of hampers the realism. this is where British toy company Wow! Stuff wants to fill in the gap. its latest innovation, known as Real FX Radio Control Car Racing System, slots between radio control cars and Scalextric-style track racing, giving you the freedom and control offered by radio control car and a track system much like the slot car’s – except that it don’t have slots to hinder your car’s freedom to maneuver. it won’t fly out of the track like Scalextric does. it will, however, skid of out the track like any real race cars if you are not too careful.

the real ingenuity lies in the artificial intelligence built into the cars that is clever enough to prevent the individual toy race car from straying out of the purpose-built track, but still gives you the control within the track that goes beyond side-by-side overtaking or undertaking. it will still shoot out of track if you becomes too ambitious and tries to defy the law of physics though. in a nutshell, the Real FX Radio Control Car Racing System is a lovechild of a radio control car and a Scalextric system. but the real draw about the Real FX Radio Control Car Racing System is the price; it cost as low as £80, or about US$136, to own. each set includes a flexible and lightweight printed race track segments, at least two futuristic race cars and matching number of wireless controllers.
