Speeding to the finish line
The Supermodels are one wheel short of a pair, so scavenger Crezz proposes trade with the Rescuers. Crezz and Al work on an ingenious throttle system - an electronic speed controller that will regulate the amount of power and create a smoother ride. The team recycle wheelbarrow handles and at the end of 10 hours, the Supermodels relax with a cup of tea.
