Ready for some really fast fun that also teaches?

One of the biggest problems when it comes to gift shopping is finding something for the older kids on your list. It can be a sad thing as kids start to get older and age out of what we think of as “traditional” toys and maybe aren’t quite hitting the point of being into the collectibles and hobbyist toys. Fortunately, one company that’s helping to keep the fun rolling for the tween years and beyond is hexbug and its new HEXMODS RC Tuner Cars are a fresh way to add some high-octane action to the house.

This set comes with more than 150 pieces and includes everything that budding speed demons need to customize and mod an incredibly fast R/C ride — we’re talking speeds of up to 18mph from a small-scale, hobby-grade car! Kids can tweak and tune their ride for both style and performance, with options including custom hoods, bumpers, rear spoilers, engine covers, body skirts, and alternate rims. And what’s a tuner car without lights and graphics? This set comes with a lighting kit that features an LED underglow alongside working headlights and tail lights. On the performance front, this set includes alternate sets of tires, swappable suspensions, alternate steering linkage, and multiple gear configurations. Even the motor can be upgraded!
