Hope this is okay to post with the moderator.
I went to my local Wal-Mart and they are redoing the store. Anyhow they are closing out the KITT racers for $2!! Bought a couple for the motors, tires and stickers. Understand I need to run the pinion gear off of my Bit motor though, is that true?
Check 2 other stores and they were also closing them out. Thought would alert others to check their area.

my wal mart still has them for 9.98... but they do have those tracks for 25 bucks.

Might just be regional revamping. They had track kit with car for $12.98.

that's not exactly true. i run the 7 tooth pinion from the kit on 2 of my cars with the standard 9:86.1 gears. they fly. it just takes a little work. there are a couple others on this forum who do too. try it and see.

Huh... you must be one of the lucky-ones, cause I tried that once and the gears just did NOT mesh well at all. Made a nasty grindin' noise, so I quit that set-up real quick. I guess it just goes to show you that everyone gets different results with their tinkerings.
