Question 1

Do we need to purchase hot wheels cars specifically? or does this work with "off brand" (matchbox) cars?

Accepted Answer

Yes you do. You have to get the hot wheels that says 1.64 weight for it to work.  I bought the regular to see if they worked and they didn't they were to heavy  of you scroll to the bottom of the page on here it will say add additional cars or tracks. And you can purchase some

Question 2

My home is pretty small;  would it be easy to take down and build again with each grandchild visit?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely.  My boys put it a part and back every 15 min as they add additional parts.

Question 3

do i need to purchase the straight tracks as well? or thats just additional?

Accepted Answer

All the track pieces you see in the pictures come within the toy package.  If you are wanting to add additional track pieces to this you would need to purchase those separately. I hope this answers your question for you.  Let me know if you have any further. Thanks.

Question 4

how big is the footprint of this when it's built?
