There's something about remote-controlled cars that's absolutely irresistible for kids of a certain age, be it the longing to drive a car or the quasi-competition that comes from being able to race against friends, and RaceYa is a new RC car concept that adds modularity to the equation. The cars come with several different interchangeable parts, making them an exercise in education and creativity rather than play alone.
Each RaceYa kit comes with a reversible gear box, a controller, and two sets of wheels (one smooth set and one rugged, grippy set). The idea is to make the cars as variable as possible, letting kids equip them to drive around the rough terrain of the backyard or to drag race through the living room. The RaceYa kits also come with a book full of ideas to help jumpstart kids' creativity.
