Flash & Dash, known in China as Race-Tin: Flash & Dash (雷速登闪电冲线 Léi sù dēng shǎndiàn chōng xiàn), is a 2007 Chinese animated series created by Alpha Group. It is based on Race-Tin, their line of radio-controlled cars.
An English version, created by Ocean Productions,[1] began airing in the United Kingdom on Cartoon Network Too on November 7, 2009. The broadcast was produced in a partnership between Danbar, a company distributing the toyline in Europe and Turner Media Innovations.[2]
The series received two followups, the 40-episode sequel Race-Tin: Flash & Dash 2 in 2007. The latter entries saw limited distribution outside of Asia, with only Flash & Dash S receiving an English dub with local actors. All three seasons are available to stream across Auldey's various YouTube channels.[3][4]
Plot[edit]
Twin brothers Frank/wind and Karl live with Uncle Charles in China when their parents are away. They go to school and meet Mike and Sally.
They meet Sally, Norton and Mike and tell them all about R.C. Racing, but Karl tells that R.C. Racing is just babies games. Then after school, the guys go to the Race-Tin club, and Mike races the duo. Karl fumbles with the controller buttons and Frank/wind copies Mike and comes into second. After the race, Sally and his father arrive. They get to the car shop and analyze some cars. Mike 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.
Frank/wind and Karl race Marco and later on Sword, continuing to race Tommy and Norton, onwards against Ocean, and they race Sword again in the finals.
