Great Toy - Not a Starter Set! Use any Car!

Review Date: October 18, 2009

Reviewer: Grandson Crazy, Arlington, TX

I bought this toy at Walmart for $[...] (Sept-09) for my 4-yr old grandson. He LOVES it, and I like it because it is only 27" long, and I can pick it up (even from the top loop) and move it. You can use any car with it, although it works best with the light-weight Trick-Tracks or Hot Wheels cars. The 5-packs of cars cost $[...].

The description on the box says "not for use with some cars", & I called Hot Wheels (Mattel) & the rep.said that some die-cast cars are too wide. The track comes with one car.

There's a drop-in ramp, and you can put in 2 or 3 cars and see how long it will work before they crash! Cole likes this best of all. The cars go through a motor (2-D batteries) that jets the cars around the loops.

Also - the rep. said that this set does NOT connect to other sets (contrary to what it says on the box - there is no exit track. BTW- set up was easy for me. Buy it!

do not work with any hotwheel car

some hotwheel cars do not make the correct loop, perhaps because that the weight is different between the car models.

Super fun!

MY son got this for his 5th birthday yesterday and he LOVES it. Dad is hooked on it too. They had 3 cars going at one time. Just a note that it does seem to eat batteries. I would say they started going down after about 3 hours. Then the motor will not push heavier cars fast enough to make the loop.

Lots of fun, but it gets old fairly quickly. Good for the younger set

The track itself is fairly easy to put together and when it's done, you have an initial drop where you start your car. It goes down into an accelerator that pushes the car fast enough to go up the big loop, then into a u-turn curve and heads back down to the starting point again to do it all over again. That's it. You can add a variety twist to this by adding a second or third car and seeing how long it will take before they crash. This is fun to watch as an adult, but it gets old after 5 or 10 minutes. The kids enjoy it, but after playing 2 or 3 times, it gets old for them as well and this is with a 7 year old and a 6 year old.

The construction is OK. The supports for the loop hold it well enough to keep to going, but it does shake alot. Overall, it works as advertised and I would suggest this for the under 7 crowd.

Good Hot Wheels Starter

If you are going to get this toy realize tha you are going to need the space to leave it set up. Taking it apart is not really practical especially for kids.

It was a favorite toy at first but after a few months slipped into the never play with it toy group. Since you can't add on to the set it's expandability is limited.
