Build a Racing Car Kit

Speedster Racer Car Kit - Educational Kit from the Science Museum Aged 8+
There's nothing quite like building a kit yourself when your a child for getting a real sense of achievement and having some really great fun. There are of course plenty of pre-built model cars on the market but this racer car kit gets a child to actually get to grips with building their own racer. In the process of doing this they will explore a number of scientific principles like energy, force, and friction, simple mechanisms, circuits, and electric motors. Children usually learn best when they are enjoying themselves and they will soak up this stuff without even realising that they are learning. It certainly wont fell like a chore as they build this model racer.


The racer has a spur gear drive and comes with slick tyres, adjustable steering, electric motor, switch, drive train, and steerable front axle. The kit includes the chassis and bodywork panels, and the motor is pre-wired. Because all the materials and components are preformed there is no gluing or any need for using tools. The racer needs an AA Battery which isn't included. For ages 8 and up.
And the price for this much fun and learning ? Just £9.99 from a UK supplier when we posted this.
