In before @ElephantKnight says something about 6954
It's certainly a better car than yesterday, and it's more capable of navigating flat terrain by the looks of things...
One of those sets that came in a canister. not good for the environment for some, but useful storage.
Never thought to use the cheese slope on a jumper behind the air intake as seen here, looks nice for shaping
Third day in a row that it's not a Bionicle.
We're on a streak, people!
I had this set!
I like the design of this set. I wanted to build one with my spares but sadly I had only two mudguards.
I used to collect these when I was age 5-8. This one in particular was my favorite of all of them! At that time, I loved anything blue, but even beyond that, the sleek design is something that really resonated with me and still does to this day. I'd love to make a minifig scale car like this at some point. Maybe in a style similar to the Ninja Nightcrawler.
I was feeling nostalgic a few months ago and ordered a sealed one off of bricklink. Someone I know needed an x-mas idea so I actually had it shipped to them. Can't wait to see this one all shiny and new again. Hard to believe it's been more than 14 years since I got this little guy.
I have this set. The stickers were terrible, they came off easily and teared around the edges.

Also came in a box as part of 6111
This one seems relatively light on stickers. I count 10, including the symmetrical ones, and they all seem like faux sponsorship details that could be left off without taking away from the car.

6954 and 8662 here share so much in common! 6954 just has a spaceship to carry around the little 4-wide vehicle, while this one does not.
And this one is blue, obviously. Clearly the designers made a mistake here. Blue is not a Blackton colour.
Tiny Turbos, yeash!
I miss the Tiny Turbos lineup. Easily the best thing LEGO did in the Racers theme.
