Thanks for the comments everyone. These were a real thing when I was about 12 years old, but of course I couldn’t afford either one. The kart is from a company called “Bug” and is a dual engine “Scorpion”. The mini bike is a 5 horse “Rupp”. I’ve attached a couple of pics of the real things. It was a real challenge for me to assemble the little beasts, as they are under 3”, and have a good amount of parts for their size. I’m 70 years old with bad eyesight and arthritis in my hands, but I think they turned out OK.
