Start your engines for the totally customizable RC car

My dad was handy, and it's a respectable thing, as well. As shortly as my electric lime green RC car came out of the corner, I whisked it across the driveway and took off and smashing it into things. Tons of people probably suffer the same childhood memory: Old-fashioned metal-and-plastic remote-controlled cars that were fun, flashy, and easy to wear.

That's why we like the Raceya, a dissimilar form of RC car made by entrepreneur Abigail Edgecliff-Johnson that is in the thick of its Kickstarter campaign. Race is 3D-printed and constructed with the idea that kids will customize the heck out of it.

Break up the Raceya? No biggie. The website will hold files that allow you download and 3D printer replacement parts at home—and in whatever color you want—if you've got the technology or access to it, Edgecliff-Johnson says. If not, Raceya can print them for you.
