The LEGO RC-Nitro Flash (4589-1) brings remote-controlled racing to the track with its customizable design. Builders first assemble a tough 4x4 off-road style racecar, ready to tackle any terrain. This versatile set then allows for a complete rebuild, transforming the vehicle into a sleek, high-speed dune buggy, offering varied racing dynamics. The included RC controller operates on three channels, enabling up to three cars to race simultaneously without interference. Enthusiasts can further modify the vehicle's performance by swapping wheels with other Racers models, adjusting its speed and handling through curves. The set provides all necessary components for both builds and includes an extra set of two small wheels for tuning.
