The folks at Thoughtfull Toys, Inc, creators of the Modarri line of cars and now Modarri Turbo Monster Trucks sent us the full line of new trucks for free to include in our Holiday Gift Guide. This is a gift guide for parents so that I can show them some of the coolest toys and games out there. These Modarri Turbo Monster Trucks are great for kids who love to customize!
We have been fans of the Modarri cars ever since they debuted on Kickstarter. I was a high level backer and at the same time was sent products for free to review. At this point I think we have 18 or 20 Modarri vehicles in the house. I even backed their Enduro venture which gave me an incredible truck and sports car. So, to say that I love Modarri is an understatement. They are fantastic and I love all that they make.
The new Turbo Monster Trucks are great but they threw me for a loop when they didn’t have the independent suspension of the regular Modarri cars. I both like this and dislike this. The independent suspension for the Modarri cars was a genius bit of engineering and I would have liked to have seen them with bigger working shocks on the monster trucks. However, I do like that swapping tires is so much easier on the Monster Trucks. These tires and rims are only interchangeable with the other Turbo Monster Trucks. So I think having no suspension is perfectly fine with these Turbo Monster Trucks. You can see what I mean in the video below.
I love that the frames, fenders and hoods of all of the Modarri cars that we own can be swapped with these new Turbo Monster Trucks. That is a key feature of the Modarri brand and one of the reasons that I got so excited about them. I just love being able to mix and match and create all sorts of designs with the toys.
Then Modarri made foam tracks with are perfect for kids to drive around and have a great time playing on. The Modarri cars zip and swerve all over the place on these tracks. You can see my old videos on Modarri in this YouTube search of my channel and Modarri. More info on the new Turbo Monster Trucks below.
