- The gearbox will be made out of hard plastic, while the body frames are made with a lighter plastic, with molded weights to adjust the Center of Mass.
- Children 8-16 will play with the toy by customizing it and racing it against their friends, seeing either which goes farther or faster.
- The physical principle behind Cust-a-Car is transfer of energy.
- The gearbox construction is the main cost, and the body frames and wheels are just money making accessories. The only potential safety hazard would be swallowing the wheels, which is why they're designed to allow airflow through them.
