    THanks for that.

    I have bought a few. My kids are always getting invited to birthday parties in school, and these will make great gifts.

    This one does indeed come with a remote controlled Nissan, it is in the box, complete with a rechargeable battery pack for the car and a 9v battery for the transmitter. The car is big, about 12" long, the lights work and it has engine and "screeching brake" type noises. Probably worth the £15 on its own

    thanks

    Can you remove one piece of straight from each of the long sides and just have a slightly smaller circuit?
