Railcar

I told my wife I was buying this for our 3 y/o son who's obsessed with hot wheels because 1) this is dynamic fun 2) two people can race, so he can play with his big sisters and 3) it was on sale at the time.But really? I bought it FOR ME, cause it's one of those awesome toys from childhood that my friend had and I didn't. My son loves it, all the kids race...BUT ME, I own the track, and no one will topple me from 1st place!Serious review: The decor is paper, and the "guardrails" do nothing but go flying should a car wipe-out. Save yourself some time and headache and just trash the decor. The track is so much fun, assembly is straightforward if you follow the instructions, and a hit with the kids!

The media could not be loaded. This is a really fun set at a good price. It’s not hobby-grade quality, but has enough extra features and at a good price to warrant a 5 star review.The overall quality and feel of the track, controllers, and cars I would call “toy-grade”. Very good toy-grade, but not on-par with the old sets from the good old 80’s. The track itself is lightweight and comes apart fairly easily. You can still drive for a few minutes without have to squeeze some track pieces back together, but it comes apart enough to be annoying. I recommend putting it on a rubbery surface to help with track stability. The full track slid around a bit on the table shown in my video - once I put it on some rubber flooring it was stable and held together a bit better.This set does have some really great features! You can control the maximum throttle with a plastic hand-screw at the bottom of the controller. Very helpful with my children so the cars aren’t perpetually flying off the track. Also, the cars aren’t magnetized which greatly helps with their track stability. It has little jumps, loops, and a turbo button (the cars will immediately fly off the track with turbo unless they are on a straight away).There you have it - not nice enough where you want to hide it away and only gingerly play with it all by yourself late at night after the kids have gone to bed. But it IS a very fun toy to share with your family and friends. For that reason it gets 5 stars from me.

Both kids really enjoyed the track, racing each other and setting up jumps on the track (I didn’t know slot cars could do that). Unfortunately after about a week, the power supply died. Not very happy with spending that amount of money for a power supply that craps out after week. The track took about 15 minutes to put together, as others have said instructions are terrible. Just look at the photos and build it from there. I know I can buy a replacement power supply, but honestly don’t think I should have to after only a weeks worth of play.

Bought for my 6 year old grandson. He loves it! Very fun, he enjoys it for hours! Great quality and track stability! Would recommend as a gift for hours of fun!

My grandson loved his present. It didn't take long to assemble and was well made with easy to understand picture assembly directions. He actually took it apart and re arranged the track several times the first two days to have fun with different configurations. The ability to control speed was a plus to get acclimated to the tracks ability. I know some reviews talk about customer service not great, but that was not my experience. It was given as a gift on Thanksgiving day and one of the cars stopped working within the first hour of play. I wrote the company the next morning and got a response within hours. They directed me to the right department to get the car replaced and by the next morning a new car was being shipped out. So for right now, it was a purchase that was well worth it and brought hours of fun in the first few days of owning it. I would recommend this track.

I bought this one because I didn’t want a cheap one because I figured this was better quality. Set up wasn’t too hard but the supports are setting the track up are hard to keep in place and the cars roomier fly off the track unless set at the lowest setting. Also they will just stop mid track without any disconnections. I’d just look for a different one.

The set up took one hour. Once you set the speed correctly, the cars stay on the track and loop the loops just fine! My 5 year old loves it.

The track I received is not the same as the images on the web site and box. The one I received did not include the two blue curved pieces that allow the track to bank on one of the curves. It doesn't effect the the assembly or functioning of the track; but, it's deceptive advertising. Also the cars have a plastic pin that fits into the slot and it broke off after the first ten minutes of use. The track pieces put together well but tend to come apart constantly while using it which requires having to constantly fiddle with the pieces to keep the track together. The adjusting screw on the controllers is a plus because without them, the cars will just fly off the track. I had to screw them in almost all the way in order to keep the cars on the track. Compared to other slot car tracks offered on Amazon, this one looks like one of the best; however, the quality doesn't even come close to the Aurora brand track I had as a kid. Unfortunately, Aurora isn't around any more.
