Ring of Fire
8494-1 Racers 2008 268 parts 10.1% repair risk Easy
The LEGO Racers 8494-1 Ring of Fire recreates a Power Racers stunt show. This 2008 set features a racing buggy, ready for maneuvers. A Power Slammer launches the vehicle with force, propelling it up the ramp. The central challenge involves the Ring of Fire, built with transparent orange elements for flame effect. A Technic wind-up motor, activated by a pull-string, spins the ring. This function creates a dynamic obstacle for the buggy to clear. The set offers stunt play, challenging the driver to jump through the hoop.
