The Remote Controlled Ducati Motorcycle Raceway.

Winner of a "100 Best Toys" award from Dr. Toy, this is the child's raceway with remote-controlled motorcycles modeled on the famous Ducati 999 Superbike--right down to authentic engine sounds. The bikes can race side-by-side on the grooved track, or they can go off-road for courses on the open floor. Designed for young hands, the infrared handlebar remote uses two simple buttons to send the bike backward or forward; when racing on the Grand Prix-style track, a twist of one of four "railroad switch" knobs can divert a bike into a "pit stop" or off the track altogether. Track accessories include lap counter, starting line, pit stop indicators, crash barriers, advertising boards, and crash tires, which can all be removed from the raceway to customize a kitchen-floor course. Requires eight AA batteries for bikes and remotes. Ages 2 and up. Made in Italy. 8" H x 25" W x 46" L. (10 lbs.)
