Hot Rod Furious Mouse

When you see a hot rod car on the street, what first draws your eye? Is it the custom paint job, the shiny chrome details, the souped-up engine, or the body modifications that transformed a boring factory model into a beautiful supermodel ready for the auto show catwalk? Hot rods are personal automotive visions brought to life. They are pure passion (va-va-vroom!)—the outward expression of a deep-seated love of cars. They are someone's baby, someone's pride and joy—the type of someone for whom the idea of buying and driving a factory car is unthinkably lazy and dull.

The Hot Rod Furious Mouse car model has dual engine functionality: you can wind the spring motor by giving six full rotations of the ratchet key located on the model car's undercarriage, or you can simply pull the Hot Rod back along a flat surface then release and watch the car speed off, as you would with any pullback toy car. Turn the front wheels of your Hot Rod left or right to make graceful turns, or race down the straightaway. Other details in the Ugears Hot Rod Furious Mouse include realistic scaling, wonderful detailing on engine and interiors, and twin doors with lock and handle mechanism.
