Reach new velocities and explore new terrains with the Hot Wheels Wall Tracks Starter Set. This wall-mounted track play system provides the base for a wide array of Hot Wheels Wall Tracks, with a variety of pathways, loops, and diversions that hold their own as a racing platform. With the easy-to-follow instructions, you'll be whipping around corners and speeding through the air in no time!
Includes one Hot Wheels vehicle. View larger.
Command strips won't damage walls. View larger.
Expand Your Horizon Vertically
The Hot Wheels Wall Tracks Starter Set takes the usual racing systems up off the floor and onto your walls, allowing speeds, stunts, tricks, and turns to reach new levels of intensity and fun. A collection of parts including a diverter switch, flap-ramp, steep drop ramp, and even a 360-degree loop make up this base set. These parts all use the vertical terrain to push the car toward impressive velocity and a new range of tricks that aren't possible on typical floor tracks.
Full-Color Hanging Template for Easy Assembly
Assembly of the Wall Tracks Starter Set is easy with the included instructions. They include written and visual descriptions, and the paper also serves as a hanging template, guiding your track placement easily to the correct positions. Adult assembly is required to stick the base of the tracks in place with the included 3M Command Strips, but the rest of the assembly can be learned by children with some practice and will stimulate cognitive skills.
Excellent Base for Other Wall Tracks
The included tracks have a number of path variations built in that our testers enjoyed exploring and testing. This experimentation, along with the vertical expansion of the tracks, inspires creative thinking about the possibilities of extending the tracks to never-before-seen racetrack variations with other Hot Wheels Wall Tracks sets.
What's in the Box
Hot Wheels car, wall tracks set, seven 3M Command Strips, six brackets, spare rubber band, and full-color hanging instructions template.

This toy was a lot of fun and both my son and daughter played with it all day. My son got it as a birthday gift. It was great to see them both playing together. I think it's great that all the hot wheels tracks can be inter connected and I like that I don't have to drill holes in the wall to get these to stay on the wall. The instructions are great at showing you how to set it up on the wall.
The first problem I've had is that the loop on the track doesn't work right and the cars get stuck there often. Although the kids do not seem to mind this I find it frustrating. The other issue we have had is that kids don't just let the cars roll down the track all the time; sometimes they like to push them. Twice in as many days we have had the command adhesive come off the wall and pull a coat of paint with them. The one extra command adhesive helped the first time the track let go; I suggest buying some extras with the track if you get one.

This must be a super new product to not have any reviews. We just purchased this today and it was very easy (thanks to the included template) to install. I love the fact that the system uses the 3M strips to attach to the wall. I initially told my 3 1/2 year old "no, our daddy doesn't want holes in the walls", but then saw the 3M strips on the front of the box! Awesome. There are different ways to manipulate the track as to the car's final destination. Also, the fact, that you can add on systems to make it bigger is a win-win. My 3 1/2 year old and 7year old are currently having a great time "playing together"!

From the photos they have of the product, I expected it to be a little bigger than it was. As it stands (or hangs as the case may be), it fit on my fridge door. Of course, I never paid much attention to the curvature of the fridge door, so I had to add an extension to the first top left piece to get it around the ice dispenser... But it worked, and stuck very well due to the nice surface.
The template is easy to follow, and the anchor points are labeled A through F and even have little arrows that act as your angle meter, to make sure it's hanging at the proper angle.
Track pieces snap into place pretty securely, and I've had no problems with anything loose or inoperative. Some reviewers mentioned the loop mechanism didn't work well for them, but we've had no problems with it. Just make sure there's no pressure on any side, since the first time I had it hung, it pressed a bit against that curvature of my fridge, nothing really noticeable, but enough to hamper operation until I adjusted one of the anchor points.
The car went through the track just fine, not hanging up anywhere.
As with most hot wheel toys, it's pretty cool at first, and the concept is very slick - no tracks to "pick up" or things the kid leaves laying on the floor. But the replay value isn't so great since it's just the same thing over and over and over. My son extended his excitement by adding more things to crash into, but after about half an hour, it just sat on the fridge, something for me to watch out for so I wouldn't let the door open itself all the way to its stops... He went back to it once the second day, but then took the car and had more fun driving it over the furniture, jumping over the great chasms between the couch and rocking chair, and driving it on the counters. The track has been dormant since.
I can see some more excitement as you add to it, since this is just the starter set, the "center" of what you can get separately, but by the time you purchase enough of the other pieces to extend it to decent playability, you could've purchased something more significant with a longer play time for the kid. And the other pieces will just be more of the same as well after the first little while of seeing how it all looks.
And the orange top piece isn't even a part it rolls down - that's basically the holding pen for cars, they start at the first blue piece right before the top right turn. So all in all this has two turn pieces, and a loop.
So the concept and execution are very well done, but they really need to expand the basic set some to add some value to it.
