Product Description

Kids will think they're right on the set of the Disney/Pixar movie Cars. Racing the cars between Lightning McQueen and Doc Hudson reminds him of the movie and your child can "re-live" the action. This super-fast racetrack is modeled after an exciting dirt track scene from the movie. Children recreate the excitement by playing the parts of Lightning McQueen or Doc Hudson. Individual speed controls make the cars race up or slow down. Requires 4 D batteries, not included. Ages 5 to 8 years.

Great first slot-car set July 10, 2006
This is a great little set and is fully compatible with standard slot cars from other makers. Also the track uses the standard Mattel/Tyco connectors so you could expand the system if you want (with black track). You could also use the standard Mattel/Tyco power supply, but be advised that it's a higher voltage so the cars may go shooting off such a small track.

One of the nice features of the controller is the ability to limit the travel of the trigger (3 settings), so that young kids don't go full throttle and run the cars off the track constantly.

flaws in toy can add to fun August 16, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this toy for our grandson's 5th birthday, at his mother's suggestion. She thought he would like it after having seen the movie "Cars". The two cars take time to warm up, then go very fast, and occasionally go off the track. They have to be reset. My daughter told the birthday boy and his older brother, age 6 1/2, to think of resetting the cars on the track as their "Pit Stop". This just adds to the fun.

Fun but flimsy July 9, 2006
Timing-wise, this toy is fun for my boy (who's four), esp., right after he watched the movie. He's excited about anything "Cars" now. Racing the cars between Lightning McQueen and Doc Hudson reminds him of the movie and he can "re-live" the action. Otherwise, for the price of the toy, the quality could be better. It is a bit flimsy. The wheels on one of the car kept getting bent out of shape and has to be re-adjusted every so often. It doesn't always run smoothly and you would need to nudge it along so it gets back on the groove of the tracks. Overall, its a fun toy for my boy, but I just wish it is more robustly built, esp., for the price.

must use sand paper
Our track also was not working! But the key: sand paper. Must rub track metal strip and the metal peg at bottom of car with sand paper! It's amazing-- it works!

race set
Be careful when you take the track apart. I did not pay attention when they took the track apart. The track will break if you are not careful.
