One of the best things about Randi Rain is how she can get my old motor running again.
Pretty slick making your own rivet.
The euphemisms must have been a blast. Never saw or heard of this one before. Very nice job on the restore.
What a trip down memory lane❤
Did you have one of these?
@@RandiRain Hi Randi❤️! Yes, indeed! I have been looking for years via eBay to find a working Tomy Power Up Speedway to add to my Tomy collection🏁🌈🙏🏻
Never seen one of these in Australia , amazing engineering
I like the magnet trick.
Ya I been trying to get her
To use Magnitic Dish
Yes, I bought one of these from Ebay France about 3 months ago, great vid if I ever need to fix mine, thanks Randi.
What a cool little race track. I don't remember seeing this one when it was new. Great refurb video Randi!
Great toy! Nice to see you again randiii!
I kinda remember having something like this, definitely remember those cars with the metal roller wheels. Cool toy!
They made several different kinds of these, but this is the only one that I know of that you can control the speed. The others are just roller coasters. There's a lift hill, and it's just gravity.
as always great job 👌
Thank you so much 😀
my immediate thought was "Yanno.....Lego Technic pneumatics would make this pretty freaking awesome."
Wow, I had this. I recognize the pumps. I could not remember at all what it was called until now.
What the... neat concept for a game though. 😀
the way all these racing tracks work is super interesting, also when is the tomy museum gonna be made?
I've got the games for it, just not a place.
A good toy to restore might be a vintage 100 in 1 electronics kit, actually getting 1 of the harder projects to work. Just remember none of the projects working beyond the 5 easiest.
Hey Randi, that was really awesome. had a thought. if you pop the roller out polish the tips. put a touch of graphite on the holes then pop the rollers back in that will help out some as well. Also what kind of glues do you use. i need a good clue that will bond to a x-Maxx body with escrow. the glue kept drying out and it would peel away from the body. it is a pretty heavy duty plastic.. thank you.
Try shoe goo and fiberglass tape
Wow! This is a really cool toy! (Great job on the restoration as well!) It is actually the first time seeing it too. While I have seen sets based on the friction / thrust principal (namely Hot Wheels), I never seen it like this.
I just scored another one of these.
@@RandiRain Cool! I have seen it a few times that you restored more than one of a particular toy. Lay an Egg was one of the ones I recently saw that you had two videos of. Good game! I remember that one. I had a couple of the Tomy hand held games as well, such as Digital Diamond and Blip. Of course I took both apart as I was quite the mad scientist myself growing up. I quickly realized there was nothing digital or electronic about those games! The Digital Diamond worked well, but I did have problems with Blip. I no longer have them though. I did keep the Mattel electronic games though. I have baseball and football II.
Boy Rand never knew about rubbing Wax paper ona Slide now ah Days there Plastic I guess soray them with
Pam😂
Or Silacone Spray Lube😊
Is there any particular reasons you didn't just use the bees wax?
I'm assuming you mean instead of wax paper? If so, the wax paper just polishes it really. Bees wax would be too sticky.
