Magic Tracks Rocket Racers TC is an exciting and innovative toy that is perfect for kids who love cars and racing. This toy combines the fun of building tracks with the thrill of racing toy cars. With Magic Tracks Rocket Racers TC, children can create their own customized tracks and watch as the cars zoom around.

Either carb would work for riding/racing, but the Keihin just works a little better down low.
Included in the order from Rod was graphical logos highlighting the Speedhunters hash tags MaximumAttack, JoyOfMachine, and of course my little motivational piece HoldStumt. It was time to refresh what had become judging by the number of copies and homages to the original NFS asymmetric design we ve seen all around the world an iconic livery.
This allows children to let their creativity run wild and design their very own unique race tracks. The flexibility of the track pieces also allows for easy assembly and disassembly, making it quick and convenient to set up and put away. The rocket racers themselves are also quite impressive.
Change Is Bad
Not even two weeks ago I showed you some digital concepts for the custom Rocket Bunny wide body kit that I’m running on my Formula Drift car this season. At the time, my new 2014 Papadakis Racing Hankook Tire Scion tC was in the workshop under the knife. But it didn’t take long for the whole build to come together and the final touches to added before a round of testing last week.
When we set about redesigning the Papadakis Racing tC and presented TRA Kyoto’s Miura-san with the challenge, I’ll be the first to admit that I was worried the car would visually sit too high. Knowing how Miura-san designs his Rocket Bunny kits, they’re really made to work with cars that are so low they crush oil pans on cats eyes and rub front tires on shock towers.
The thing is though, drift cars aren’t built to sit. They are built to be driven. And when they’re driven hard on a Formula Drift track – when the suspension is working overtime to transfer as much power and wheel speed to the ground as possible – that’s when a drift car is in its absolute element.
That’s what our tC was built for. She was built to perform. And that means she doesn’t always have to look good…
But she has to look good squatting. Now that it’s finished, what do you guys think?
My two partners in crime seem very happy with the outcome. Here’s Steph grabbing a quick pic on his phone…
And here’s Shawn expertly applying my Formula Drift windscreen banner.
Also happy are the two characters behind all of this: the grandfather of the Speedhunters project – Mr. Rod Chong, and Andy Blackmore. In fact, Rod initiated the redesign by asking for a brand new base livery to represent the Speedhunters family of race cars.
Andy designed the first Need For Speed scheme five years ago and is a world-class automotive livery stylist working with GT teams and manufacturers across the globe. It was time to refresh what had become – judging by the number of copies and homages to the original NFS asymmetric design we’ve seen all around the world – an iconic livery.
Included in the order from Rod was graphical logos highlighting the Speedhunters hash tags #MaximumAttack, #JoyOfMachine, and of course my little motivational piece: #HoldStumt.
‘Hold stumt’ has been with me since my friends first started shouting it to me as words of encouragement ten years ago. And while you keep certain things with you throughout your life, other things change. Either by chance, or by choice. Either way, if you let things remain exactly how they’ve been, you will miss out on some great experiences. The only way to avoid forever asking yourself ‘what if’ is to make that change. Whatever it is you are contemplating in life – make the move and make it happen!
My personal opinion is that Andy nailed our 2014 livery. And with that I’m not saying it’s the perfect car. What I’m saying is that seeing your ideas play out in real life gives a great feeling of accomplishment. That’s the only way you’ll see what works and what doesn’t. Andy, Rod, Complex Ink, and of course the Papadakis Racing family – thanks for allowing me to bring some of my own ideas into the mix.
The 2014 Formula Drift series is here. Let’s stir it up and make it the best one yet! Follow us during this weekends Long Beach season opener.

Reviews for "The Journey from Rookie to Champion: Magic Tracks Rocket Racers TC"
1. Sarah - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with Magic Tracks Rocket Racers TC. The tracks were flimsy and kept coming apart, making it impossible to create a proper racecourse. The cars also didn't work as smoothly as advertised, constantly getting stuck or derailing. I expected more from a toy with such a high price tag. Overall, it was a frustrating experience and not worth the money.
2. John - 1 star - Magic Tracks Rocket Racers TC was a complete waste of money. The track pieces were difficult to snap together and would easily break with minimal force. The cars were flimsy and didn't race well at all. They would often get stuck or flip over, causing frustration rather than enjoyment. I would highly recommend avoiding this toy and investing in something of higher quality.
3. Emma - 2 stars - I regret purchasing Magic Tracks Rocket Racers TC for my kids. The tracks were poorly designed and didn't connect securely, resulting in constant interruptions during playtime. The cars didn't race smoothly and would often fly off the track. Additionally, the included instructions were unclear and made the setup process more challenging than it needed to be. Save your money and look for a better racing toy option.

The cars had inconsistent performance, sometimes moving too fast and other times barely moving at all. The overall quality of the product was poor, and I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and fun racing experience.
