There is a small connector piece missing and I've used a blue connector piece in it's place and it works just fine (shown in photos). The grey piece that turns the swamp monster had rubber tips that's crumbled due to age, so I used electric tape to hold it together. You have to finagle it, but it spins the connecting pieces. All the sounds and launcher work. This is fully fictional!
This product would be a great fit for young car enthusiasts who are eager to build and race their very own "Swamp Beast" in their own custom track.
