The racing car model features a pull-back mechanism for dynamic play:
- Place the assembled car on a flat, smooth surface.
- Gently pull the car backward, applying slight pressure to the top. You will feel the internal mechanism winding up.
- Release the car. It will zoom forward due to the stored energy in the pull-back mechanism.
The flash modified hubs will create a dazzling effect as the car moves.
