Full Product Name: Blurzz Rocket Race Funny Car With Digital Speedometer

Brief:
I got t' new funny car rocket racer solely because it had a speedometer attached. Avast! T' car is modeled after funny race cars and comes as t' car shell only–-you have t' have t' Blurzz rocket powered race set. Well, blow me down! I now own two, shiver me timbers, mainly t' race against each other. This review is for t' blue car.

Construction:
T' car comes pre-made. It does nay have an engine mount included, matey, arrr, which is a bit cheap o' Estes, but it does stop you from launchin' on a homemade track. Ahoy! That could be dangerous.

T' engine mount design has altered since t' first initial rocket car be introduced, and t' funny car will only work with t' latest design. Avast! Estes will provide t' latest engine mount for free, ya bilge rat, but you have t' rin' them or go on their website.

T' speedometer is located on t' top o' t' car and alternates betwixt mph and kph. Begad! Blimey! It works by a light sensor near t' aft wheel o' t' car. T' aft wheel is half silver and half black, matey, arrr, matey, and by rotating, matey, t' speed o' t' car is calculated. Begad! Blimey! T' speed is scale and nay real speed. Arrr! Blimey! Personally I would like t' have seen t' real speed that t' car travels at.

Estes seemed t' have learned their lesson from t' Tuner car, and t' front launch lugs are much better. Avast! Avast! There is little chance that t' car will come off t' line now.

Finishing:
T' cars come in three finishes: Red/orange, Blue\White, and Yellow/Black. Aye aye! Apart from that, shiver me timbers, shiver me timbers, thar be no difference betwixt t' three.

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
Preppin' t' tuner car for "flight" involves placin' a A10-PT motor in t' engine mount. Ahoy! Avast, shiver me timbers, me proud beauty! This mount is attached t' t' cord. T' car is then attached t' t' mount. Arrr! T' speedometer needs t' be reset by pressin' t' button on top. Arrr! Do this when t' car is about t' be launched, and make sure you don't knock t' car or you will get a false reading.

T' first launch was terrible. Avast, me proud beauty! Aye aye! T' car flipped half way down t' track and continued upside down, ya bilge rat, damagin' t' finish o' t' car. Well, blow me down! T' cord was nay tight enough.

I tightened t' cord, checked out t' path, ya bilge rat, and had seven perfect launches after that.

T' average scale speed for t' blue car was 457 mph, but this ranged from 333mph t' 610mph. Aye aye! Begad! Blimey! Given that t' track be unaltered betwixt launches, matey, ya bilge rat, arrr, one can only assume that t' engines differ.

Across both cars and t' 13 "flights" so far, me hearties, t' average is 534mph rangin' from 333mph t' 694mph.

T' car is a lot faster than t' tuner car and t' parachute is definitely needed.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
T' Estes funny car is an improvement on t' tuner, arrr, shiver me timbers, shiver me timbers, and t' speedometer really does highlight t' difference in performance that an Estes A10-PT motor delivers.
