GX Racers

Official GX Racers press release from Flair

There’s a new boys’ range about to hit our shores that will satisfy those with a need for speed and an urge to perform death defying stunts that will take miniature car racing to another level – Introducing GX Racers...

Designed around the power of the gyro, GX Racers are 1:64 scale stunt cars that have patented technology allowing the user to achieve extreme speeds and perform unique stunts. A variety of play sets and vehicles are to be launched meaning collections can start small, but as the stunts get more death defying and spectacular, more cars and accessories can be added to create a truly amazing show of stunts and tricks to astound your friends.

To become a master GX Racer you have to have a car and the Speed Assortment is the way to get on the road with a variety of single vehicles that can be used with or without a track. Each pack contains the car, a speed gyro and ripcord but as with all GX Racers the gyros can be fully interchanged with each other to stylise your vehicle and allow for different cars to perform different stunts. Simply slot the gyro into the car, insert the ripcord, pull back and watch it go - at unprecedented speeds!

Moving from speed to stunts is easily done with the Stunt Assortment packs, each has the vehicle, unique stunt gyro and rip cord plus one of a selection of stunt accessories; such as the jump track with oil drums to jump over, line ride along a narrow edge or the unique 360° sidewinder which allows the car to spin on its axles.

After mastering single car sets boys will soon want to perform bigger and better stunts and the GX Racers play sets are the perfect progression.

Bound to be a favourite, will be the Tightrope Terror Track Set with its unique capability of travelling between tracks along a tight rope as well as performing other breathtaking stunts and tricks. This set allows you to connect two points from anywhere in a room enabling the vehicle to travel through the air at great speed.

When thinking about car stunts it’s jumping through air that springs to mind and this is where the Max Air Jump Track Set comes into its own. With this set, watch and be amazed as your GX Racer jumps between 6 and 10 feet into the air, only to land right way up to continue its performance. The adjustable jump track allows different distances and heights to be achieved whilst detachable “fire” streamers for the car will make the jump seem even more spectacular.

The brilliance of GX Racers is that all the sets can connect to make one huge, amazing stunt performance, whilst the car bodies and speed or stunt gyros can be swapped so you can collect them all. An important feature for all stunt drivers who feel the need to make their wheels unique!

If you want amazing speeds and the ability to do death defying stunts at the same time, the GX Multi-Launcher Track Set is the perfect solution. Designed to work with all the GX Racers and Gyros this set launches up to five cars on the ground and allows them to race through the air on tightropes and also links up to track. Watch in awe as your car speeds down the tightrope, performs an amazing 180˚ flip and then travels back along the tightrope upside down balanced on its roof. Hand held or free standing, this launcher will allow cars to do stunts and achieve speeds that seem almost impossible.

GX Racers will be available from Autumn 2009 from all major toy retailers - and if you like the racers, you may want to check out the equally brilliant GX Skate and GX Moto range of toys.
