Product Description

Editorial Review

This Hot Wheels track set comes with everything kids need to set up their own high-speed auto racing track in any room of the house. The plastic track components make 7 feet of track in two possible configurations. An instruction sheet with helpful visual diagrams shows how to connect the pieces to achieve each variation; however, adults will need to assist with the track setup in most cases. Both race track designs contain one loop and two hard-core curves that offer challenge and risk for Hot Wheels race cars. A motorized booster propels cars along the track so kids have their hands free to clap and cheer for their favorite vehicle. The set also includes a pretend scoreboard, flagger, and one collectible die-cast metal car (but kids can also race vehicles from their personal Hot Wheels collections). Two "D" batteries are required to power the booster. --Cristina Vaamonde

Very durable, has 2 configurations for the track. The motorized part is easy for kids to use and works for a very long time (on batteries of course). We never had any problems and my sons used this A LOT.

My 5 year old really enjoys this track...we've had it for about 2 weeks now and so far no problems and considering hot wheels recent products I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Anyways its a fun basic track that you can expand on and easy to put together.

What happened to hot wheels tracks? Does anyone else remember when you could buy a box with a whole bunch of track and connectors and create your own layouts?

The sets available come with a paltry 2 or 3 yards of track and maybe a bunch of hard plastic pieces. Only a limited number of configurations are possible.
