This review is from: NASCAR HO-Scale Electric Slot Racing (Toy)
I just recently purchased this item for my boys ages 7 and 4. First, it is a great value for the purchase price. The boys have enjoyed it but also have lost interest quickly. They like to be outdoors! Some things to consider about this product are: You will need a large area to set it up and leave it up. These types of products do not last long if you take them down frequently. This race track is not difficult per se to set up but to do it repeatedly will render it stuffed to some closet somewhere and would waste your time and money. My husband built a rough table for it in the basement so the boys can enjoy it anytime they wish however it is out of the way of our normal living areas. Second, as for other products in this category, this is a great starter for low investment and easy for little ones to use. I would not recommend it for a young 4 yr old as they have a harder time with the control mechanism knowing how not to use too much pressure. Great for learning this however if they have patience. My 4 yr old is doing great with it but the problems lie with his caution and going slow and his older brother who knows exactly what to do and "beats" him in every lap. Oye! The fights! There is a lap counter on this track too. Oh yeah! Another great feature is that it is electric not battery operated! Oh I hate battery operated toys. If I owned stock in Energizer I'd be retired and have a Nanny! :) Lastly, we've only had this toy for barely a month. So far no issues but like I said, it doesn't get used daily. We'll see how it hold up. Thanks for reading, hope this helps.

This review is from: NASCAR HO-Scale Electric Slot Racing (Toy)
You just have to love slot cars. Yea, they go in basically a circle...with a few twists and turns but it's fun! This particular set is very good quality. The cars are very good quality. As far as durability, I'd say it's pretty far up there, though with so many electrical connections and sensitive parts on the cars, kids should be shown how much care they need to take with it. Tune up kit included as well as very good instructions on how to maintain. Our 5 and 7 year olds have a blast with the set as well as their 77 year old grandpa who "never had stuff like this when he was a kid". As far as educational value, you have your laws of physics (going into a turn too fast, friction, etc.), basic mechanics of the cars (the tiny gears are just cool) and A/C D/C and transformer electrical current education. Looking forward to playing with it for a long long time.

This review is from: NASCAR HO-Scale Electric Slot Racing (Toy)
We got this for my 4 year old. It's quite large and takes a while to put together, but it's worth it. You do have to be delicate with the controls and the speed, or the cars will fly off the track. But after a few minutes, my kids had it down pat. Good value for the money.
