You still have time; some of the best Black Friday car toy deals are popping off through the weekend. It’s never too early to start getting kids into cars. It’s also never too late for adults to discover the fun of scaled-down versions of the real thing. I’ve found the best deals still running through the Black Friday Weekend and leading into Cyber Monday. I’ve included all sorts of different types: Hot Wheels, LEGO, radio-controlled cars, plastic models, and even some STEM toys that will inspire kids to put down the tablets and make things in the real world.
Hot Wheels tracks are great; they’re kid-sized laboratories for learning Newtonian Physics. When I was very young, they were all gravity-powered and the step up to coil-spring-powered car shooters was a major innovation. Now, as you would guess, they’re motorized. This Hot Wheels Sky Crash Tower Motorized Track Set with Car for $49.97 will shoot a car straight up into a loop before corkscrewing back down. But, when you get multiple cars going, you have the chance that they will crash into each other. This gives you the opportunity to discuss elastic vs inelastic collisions—crashes are science.
Is there anyone of any age who doesn’t love LEGO? Nobody I would be friends with, I’d wager. There are car kits in all different price ranges from our favorite Danish car manufacturer. For less than $30 you have this LEGO Speed Champions McLaren Solus GT & McLaren F1 LM 2 car set. There’s a lot of other choices. If you want to go big in price and piece count, this LEGO Technic Peugeot 9X8 24H Le Mans Hybrid Hypercar for $159.99 is a banger.
I’ve also put together a small list of radio-controlled cars. I’ve gone on and on about how great those are for turning bored kids into engineers. So, I won’t get into it again. Another surprise at the bottom of the list is something I should address. Yes, that is a real, gas-powered engine.
I started looking for the same Visible V8 Engine Model Kits that it seems like every kid had in the 80s. The exact model I remember is hard to find, but you can get a Mustang V8 or a Porsche flat-six, both of which are nearly 200 bucks. My immediate though was, “how much can a go-kart engine cost?” Well, apparently you can have one for $68.00. Seems like a perfect opportunity to spend some quality time with your kid in the garage, tearing the thing down and reassembling it. The best part is, you can eventually make a go-kart to put it in. You’re welcome.
