Underpowered? Mine was a beast! I used to set up insane climbing tasks for it. The front couple of axles were suspended so that it could span a sizeable gap.
I also discovered that when you send a battery powered car / truck thing down the inside of a tube (huge concrete 4' diameter drainage pipe) it will climb to the right, no matter which direction you point it. I assume that south of the equator it would climb to the left. I think that this is why the minis in the Italian Job appear so out of control in the tunnel sequence. Very exciting aged 7
