Ready. Salt. Go!

Many of you know that Valeris loves all-stuffs-princess but not many of you know that she loves cars too. Well, her daddy knows and look what he got for her.

It is amazing how these saltwater cars work. You mix salt and water, add 3 drops and zoom! Off they go! We also love that those racetracks are made of sugarcane – 100% biodegradable. They feel “paperish” so some small parts can get bumpy after a while but does not affect the performance of the cars.

There are 4 striking designs to choose from:
Fireball (Red), Lightning (White), Shadow (Black) and Sunchaser (Yellow).
We love how distinctive the colours are.

How Can A Car Run On Salt Water?

Every salt water battery contains a small metal plate. That’s where the energy is stored. Once salt water comes into contact with this metal plate, the energy is released which powers the electric engine, and your Supercar is ready to run!

How to play:

  • Fill the canister provided with salt and water according to the level marked.
  • Shake the canister to ensure salt is fully dissolved.
  • Use the pipette to drop 3 drops of salt water into each hole of the car.
  • The car will start running in 10 to 15 secs when the salt water reacts with the metal plate.
  • The speed of your Salt Water Supercar will decrease gradually as the energy in the salt water battery depletes.
  • To continue racing, drop 2 more drops of salt water into each hole of the car. The car will run 2 to 3 times, for up to 30 minutes in a single play session.
  • You will need to replace the salt water battery once it is fully depleted, or with a rechargeable lithium battery to go racing every day!
