PlasmaCar The Original - Purple

مناسب

Me encantó y a mi hija mucho mas, lo ha disfrutado bastante, muy resistente, muy bonito!!

The kids loved it!

We bought a couple of these cars about 5 years ago. My kids love them and have been riding when possible since. We have had two more babies since and they are of age now to start - so I bought a couple more. I upgraded the old cars by purchasing roller blade wheels (80/82a) and they fit and worked perfectly. They cut the sound down to nothing and made it possible to ride in the house on tile floors without driving us nuts. But putting them on the front wheels slowed the car dramatically - so I took them off the front wheels and left them on the rear wheels. It still is a 70% reduction in noise and much more stable around corners. The kids are racing them all the time now. The new cars I purchased - the roller-blade wheels do not fit as the wheel wells are thinner. I wish they had left the design the same. ************ Update 12/27/12: Found out that you can purchase super hard roller blade wheels to put on the front of the car. Search Amazon for hyper 84mm hyoctane. When you first put them on - the child will think that it slows the car down - and it will for a little bit - but once they have broken in - they get right back to full speed. Everyone, including the child loves how whisper quiet they become. I recommend replacing all four wheels with these. We also replaced the stock bearings (they come with ABEC 7 bearings) with Bones Reds. Each wheel requires two bearing sets - so you'll have to use the entire package if you replace all four wheels on the car (see below). We determined that you can fit the rollerblade wheels into the rear wheel wells if you drill out the spacers that are in the wheels. You also have to machine out about a mm of the hub of the wheels on both sides to get the white plastic axel holders not to rub against them. Most people won't have access to the equipment to do this - but if you want your sanity - it's worth every penny to find someone who can do it for you. The racing has become super competitive and fun! We've set up a figure eight track on our back patio which only adds to the intensity and risk taking. Sandbaggers can have their cars kicked and we have added lap penalties for touching obstacles or cones or putting your feet down. If you have younger children that want to participate - you can give the serious competitors lap penalties for touching the cars of the younger children. You should see the smile on the younger children's faces as the realize the power they wield as they roam the track with impunity. Imaginations run wild as the kids discuss tricking out their cars with rocket boosters and spring tension rods. If you have girls - get them the pink car with orange butt plates. It's the most popular car.

We started out with two plasma cars for our four children ages 2 to 8. We now have four cars. It was just too hard to share, every one wants to have fun! We mainly ride them on a large concrete slab in the backyard or the driveway. We've also taken them around the block on the sidewalk. My older three use the cars correctly, my two year old uses his feet for propulsion. I've even taken a ride or two (or more). Plasma cars are fun! We race them, draw our own tracks or just drive the cars around and around. You can get them going at a pretty good clip if you have a slight incline in your driveway or sidewalk. Make sure you tighten the steering column as tight as possible. On this last one we purchased, dad had to do the tightening. I just couldn't get it tight enough. You may have to re-tighten the steering column every once in awhile. Our cars have stayed outside this summer and I haven't noticed any fading or rusting. The inside cavity does fill up with water from the sprinkler. However, this easily drains out when the car is tipped up on the rear seat to rest. We will bring the cars in for winter. The Plasma car is one of those toys that your child will play with every day that there is good weather outside and can be used inside if your floors can take it. Overall, it's a good investment that your child will enjoy for a long, long time (you will, too).
