Anki OVERDRIVE Rails Kit Review One of the best parts about Anki OVERDRIVE is how it can be enjoyed by both adults and children. However, the latter may find it a little difficult and that's where Anki OVERDRIVE accessories come in handy, especially this rails kit. Buy Anki OVERDRIVE Accessory Rails Kit Features: Fits onto the side of Anki OVERDRIVE track pieces to create a rail-like structure, essentially adding walls to your track.

This cross-section piece adds a whole new flavor to the Anki OVERDRIVE and provides a whole host of new possibilities for your kit. I picked up this track piece for use with my existing Anki OVERDRIVE starter kit and it definitely adds a whole new element of gameplay to the game. Expansion Track Collision Kit Features The collision track is a single piece of OVERDRIVE track that fits into your starter kit track, just like any of the other pieces in the series. It adds an intersection to your track design, meaning players can cross the race track or battlefield. That also makes way for some serious collisions, as players fly through the intersection at high speeds. Anki advertises this piece as a “deadly collision” and it truly is...

It definitely does that job. Launch Kit  Features: Ramp based track piece, offering the ability to jump across the battlefield or race track, depending on your configuration.

Anki OVERDRIVE Big Bang Car Review Each of the expansion units in the Anki OVERDRIVE series focuses on a special unique theme and Big Bang's is probably the most practical. As you can see from just looking at it, this is a car that focuses on defense and one that I had a lot of fun playing with. This nifty car looks and feels like a tank. It really impressed friends when I pulled the unit out and it's a particular favorite of my son's. Anki OVERDRIVE Expansion Car Toy Big Bang Features Big Bang is a racing car like any of the Anki OVERDRIVE expansion cars, however, it has a particular emphasis on defense. The vehicle maxes out Anki's own scale when it comes to defense and that's no surprise given its tank-like structure. For players wanting to move slowly but cover their back at all times, I couldn't recommend the Big Bank expansion car anymore. It's a much more strategical vehicle option and one that could really pay off in the long term. C...

Anki OVERDRIVE Guardian Expansion Car Review Having owned the Anki starter kit for a little while now, I decided to pick up an expansion car to expand my little collection of Anki Drive pieces. I'm certainly glad I did. The Anki Guardian Expansion car adds even higher octane gameplay to a fantastic game. What's more, an additional car means we can now have three players playing with Anki Drive, which is fantastic. Anki OVERDRIVE Guardian Expansion Car Features This Anki OVERDRIVE expansion car works hand in hand with the Anki Drive starter kit that I purchased recently. These expansion cards work a lot like the cars that came bundled with the starter kit, allowing you to easily connect your device and get playing in one of the game's two main gameplay modes. However, the OVERDRIVE expansion car offers a number of special features that you won't find with the standard cars, sure to help you in defeating your opponents. Firstly, the sonic beam throws a hi...

Anki OVERDRIVE Thermo Expansion Car Review Of all the Anki OVERDRIVE expansion cars that I've had a chance to play with, Thermo is certainly the fiercest and that can only be a good thing. This little red beast is one of the best-looking additions to the OVERDRIVE series and my personal favorite. It adds a whole new level of gameplay to the Anki Drive starter pack that I recently picked up and really spices up our experience of the game. Anki OVERDRIVE Expansion Car Toy Thermo Features The Anki OVERDRIVE Thermo car works much like any of the other cars in the Drive expansion series. It connects to either your Android or iOS device and allows you to use that device to race against your buddies in the real world. However, don't expect an average racing experience in a vehicle named the “Thermo”. This is a beast built for speed and if you enjoy fast racing, this is the option for you. Thermo is all about the fire and comes with a number of fire-themed additions. T...

Anki OVERDRIVE Nuke Expansion Car Review If bright colors are your thing, then the Nuke is sure to be the most attractive of the Anki OVERDRIVE Nuke expansion cars. This bright green neon car is probably the best all-rounder of the OVERDRIVE range, from my experience with the car. It provides both decent speed and defense, and is the best car, in my opinion, to be prepared to take on any enemy on the track. Anki OVERDRIVE Expansion Car Toy Nuke Features As aforementioned, Nuke is pretty much the best all-round car in the OVERDRIVE expansion range and that's reflected through its features. I felt that the Nuke gave a good advantage on every front and was able to deal with each of the other vehicles pretty well. Despite its rounded feature set, Nuke does place something of an emphasis on the firepower functionality, well neon firepower that is. The exclusive weapons included with this vehicle certainly reflect that. The decimator is my personal favorite of the weapon...

Meaning you can charge your cars whilst you have a break from playing and come back later to carry on. Works with all of the vehicles in the Anki OVERDRIVE range and is able to charge them at a decent speed. If you own spare vehicles, you can charge some whilst playing with the others, meaning you're always ready to carry on racing. Pros: No need to interrupt racing to charge your vehicles, you can now charge a couple of vehicles whilst racing with others. The platform provides an easy way to clip on your vehicles...

Anki OVERDRIVE Starter Kit Review Having picked up the original Anki DRIVE kit when it launched, I decided to give the new OVERDRIVE version a go and pick up this starter kit. After spending a considerable amount of time with the kit, it really expands on the fun gameplay of the original kit. My review is a summary of the features of the Anki OVERDRIVE, the pros, cons and also a comparison with the original Anki DRIVE starter kit . Features Anki Overdrive Starter Kit The Anki OVERDRIVE is a sequel to the original Anki DRIVE and this starter kit does a similar job to the one of the original series. However, it has now been updated with the new technology and capabilities of Anki OVERDRIVE. In brief, the basic premise here is that you use an Android or iOS device to control the Anki OVERDRIVE vehicles and battle them out on the track. It's a lot like the slot car experience you were used to as a child, but now only evolved to use modern technology, including your smart...

Anki OVERDRIVE Bank Turn Kit Review For more experienced players, like I have become, the standard Anki OVERDRIVE track can become a little too easy. That's where the Anki OVERDRIVE accessories come in and this bank turn kit does just that job.

It provides awesome angled turns for better practicing your skills and putting your friends to shame out on the battlefield.

Includes 4 ramps, which be able to prop up a few banks turns and you'll only need one of these ramp kits for your track. Cons: You'll need to buy the actual track pieces sep...
