The R.C. Racer is a Gremlins vehicle featured in LEGO Dimensions. It is Gizmo's personal vehicle, and is included in 71256 Team Pack.
Background[]
Being tired of being helpless and being mistreated by Gremlins beforehand, Gizmo decides to slip off from Kate Beringer's watch at the control room of the department store they're in to stop the surviving Gremlin leader Stripe to aid his owner Billy Peltzer in getting rid of him. He heads for the toys section and builds a toy car (supposedly a Barbie car) to reach Billy's location, which is in the sports section wherein he was being attacked and cornered by Stripe.
Luckily, Kate manages to turn the lights on, blinding Stripe and having him separated from the circular chainsaw he was using to kill Billy; however, she also unknowingly turned on a fountain in the greenhouse that when Stripe arrived there, he decides to go there to form a new army of Gremlins while shooting at Billy from trying to stop him. However, Gizmo arrives just as Stripe was breeding new Gremlins, crash-lands the car and pulls up window blinds revealing a hidden window filled with sunlight, killing off Stripe for good.

Trivia[]
- In the first Gremlins movie the car is pink, however there are several other forms of merchandise which do feature the vehicle in red, despite it not appearing in any of the films.
- The car was hinted to be a car made for the doll franchise Barbie in the first film. However, the microbuild doesn't have any resemblance to the doll line as it might require permission from Mattel to use the Barbie trademark, similar to the case of Back to the Future's Hoverboard.
- You can put Gizmo in the build to make it look like he's driving it, similar to the Gravity Sprinter and the Jakemobile. However not all builds are able to do this, i.e. the DeLorean Time Machine and the Gyrosphere.
