My racing buddy got that very set at Zellers on the 24th. It was on liquidation for 20 bucks Canadian. It was the only one they had, a lucky find. He gave me
the yellow car. Cool looking cars but the actual head lights were missing. Motors are smaller than Artin but faster. Scale wise, they are a bit bigger than my
Artins. The wheels are really big.

I gotta go get a set of these. I need a good looking, to scale shooting star. Any of you folks out there buying up Carrera stuff to expand your track? If you
are, and you run across one of these sets, let me know. I'll buy the cars off you, otherwise, I need to go out looking for a set of these things.

I just bought this set. I'm quite content with the speed and quality of the cars. But like 'peelstreetguy' said, the led light are not in them. I
geuss it's because it's a cheper set than the original Speed Racer set.

No idea, but I'll will say the Carrera part # is 62171, and technically this is not a GO!!! set, it is a "Carrera Racing Systems" which is GO!!!,
but battery powered, and the power base track piece is probably different.

The motors are 6V FF 030s same as the other Carrera 6V sets, like the COTs Clandrend cornered the market on by buying all he could find.
.
They are at Hollywood Video and we are going there tomorrow. I'll see what's in Jacksonville, JXR.
