The Educational Construction Series aims to make learning fun, and this flywheel-powered three-wheel car continues that theme. Turning the rear or drive wheels charges the flywheel, which then feeds the power back to the wheels and sends the car on its way. Different cam parts can be fitted under the model to change the direction of the front wheel and so alter its course. The kit includes zigzag and figure-of-eight cams, plus one spare that you can cut to your own course. A screw on the underside locks the front wheel, so the car runs in a straight line. The transparent drive unit shows the metal flywheel inside, and it can be removed for use on other models. The flywheel can power the car for up to about 20 meters (around 35 seconds). Rubber ring tires are included for all three road wheels. The kit uses snap-fit and screw-together assembly, so no cement is needed. Assembly kit dimensions: length 141mm, width 85mm, height 67mm.
