Looks like a fun new toy---but much more like RC than slot racing!! Can you say--Mini Z?? The cars look cool and their priced right IF their fast enough to really be fun!! 
She's real fine, my 409!!!

Anybody who invested in this company, I have a cold fusion generator that is just waiting to get off the ground with funding.....

Please don't insult cold fusion, that may eventually be viable.

Digital and electronics apart, these cars seems to have pretty strange mechanics inside:
No obvious steering mechanism up front, also pretty slippery & independent wheels.
The business end for steering seems to be in the rear, with seeemingly more grippy
wheels/tires, and also independent driving of the wheels with two separate motors.
Effectively rear wheel drive & steering.
Ho hum.
