Description

Ratmobile is a casting that depicts what is literally a rat on wheels.

In 2011, Ratmobile received a casting change to where the body is one piece instead of three, with a metal motor replacing the plastic one. The metal motor seems to compensate for the loss of weight that was incurred in changing to a one piece body on an already light model. The one piece body does keep the tail from drooping down and rubbing on the right rear wheel, as can happen with the 3 piece body.
