Feel the Speed!" written by John Mitchell and Tom Keenlyside.

Twin brothers Frank and Karl live all together, with their parents Jane and Jake. They go to school without getting lost and meet Sword.

Then after school, the guys go to the Race Tin club, and Sword races the duo. Karl fumbles with the controller buttons and Frank copies Sword and comes into second. After the race, Sally and his father arrive. They get to the car shop and analyze some cars. Sword tells them what R.C. Racing cars are like. He explains his car as an example, and he tells that the higher the level, the car will have to be modified with spoilers and new body kits.
