TOYS UNVEILS X-TREK:
THE NEXT GENERATION IN MICRO R/C RACING |
Silverlit
Packs More Technology than Ever into the Smallest Programmable
Micro R/C Yet, Entering the Race at the Head of the Pack! |
|
City of Industry, CA (April 2003) - Retailers
everywhere know that Micro R/C is one of today's hottest
trends. Its rapid growth, combined with the increasing number
of hobbyists joining the action, has created a huge demand
for newer and better systems. Silverlit Toys, long noted
for superior technology and excellent prices, is fulfilling
this need like no one else with the X-Trek Micro Racing
System. Launched at the 2003 Toy Fair, X-Trek is an exciting
and revolutionary new set that packs an unbelievable amount
of cutting-edge technology into the smallest-sized programmable
Micro R/C ever!

"X-Trek is revolutionary because
it offers uninterrupted play. The need to stop a race to
recharge is a long-standing source of frustration to Micro
R/C enthusiasts.
|
X-Trek cleverly solves this problem by
providing a charging station that's built right into the
track, letting players recharge as often as they like without
stopping the action. And that's not all: X-Trek is the first
and only system that lets players instantly incorporate
programmable stunts within the standard R/C movements on
or off the track, and it's the first and only Micro R/C
system to offer 2 speeds. Plus, as the smallest programmable
Micro R/C available (only 2.25" long), it's in line
with the current trend of smaller, space-saving R/C sets.
The appeal to retailers is just as strong.
In a product category that can be both high-priced and harsh
to those who fail to keep up with the latest trends, Silverlit
is offering a set that's far more technologically evolved
than the rest - and at an ultra-low price point to boot.
The potential for volume sales is also remarkable: The rich
variety of collectible, interchangeable sets and add-ons
(more than a dozen in all) has the potential to keep consumers
coming back for more, translating into plenty of after-market
value. The attractive, modern-looking packaging requires
minimal shelf space and is well-suited for a wide variety
of retail outlets; plus, it's colorful enough to draw kids'
attention and sophisticated enough to catch the eye of the
discerning collector.
Silverlit is actively promoting X-Trek
through all media outlets with a national public relations
campaign, and there's already a positive buzz among mass
and specialty retailers who realize that it's exactly the
product that consumers - and retailers - have been waiting
for. X-Trek is more than just the best way to keep "up
to speed" with the lucrative Micro R/C trend - it's
the next generation of Micro R/C action.
