My grandson LOVED LOVED this track. Him and his dad played together with it for hours. The quality of the track and vehicles is great. They haven't had any problems with it at all. I would definitely buy this for another grandchild.

Easy to set up. My grandkids and I had a blast. My only issue was I ordered a set with a pink car and a black and white car. How can I get a pink car?

I bought this set after spending several hours trying to get the slot car set previously used by son, who is now a dad himself. I couldn't get the old style cars running reliably and finally bit the bullet to buy a new set, which was pretty cheap anyway. It went together easily and the design/function is way improved over what was available years ago. My advice is to buy one of the larger sets because there is not much flexibility in the layout you can create from these pieces and a bit more flexibility would help. I suppose you could buy two kits and have extra cars and controllers and track if you need it but then you have to have a place to store all the unused pieces. The only drag as far as I'm concerned is that it takes quite a bit of space if you leave it set up and there's not an easy way to hang it on a wall in the garage I(or something like that) to store it so it is not on the floor and under foot when not being use.

My grand children who are 6 and 9 love playing with it and so do their parents and my 73 year old wife. So, I consider this a real entertainment "win" for a very reasonable amount of money....and so far there has been no need for aggravating "service" to keep the cars running, which is certainly a change/improvement over slot cars of yesteryear.

It was intended to be a birthday present - so I was not going to spend a few hundred dollars on a slot car track. The cars themselves touch the track with what I would call a frayed wire. Most slot cars I am used to have a metal tab. So, more than anything else I spend my time smoothing and fixing the wire to touch the track. And then my kids push the car backwards and do things that fray the wire back out.
Assembly was good, I expected it would be less than 100% perfect at this price point, but surprisingly it was not too bad. The plastic snapped together well and I only had one metal tab that I had to get pliers to "fix" things. The metal is a box at one end and crushed down to a point on the other, so the point slides into the box. The only problem was one had the point crushed out and I had to reshape.
The triggers have held up so far, the cars are nice, the track is holding up. We will see how long the cars last, but even still, that is pretty easy to fix if the wire ends up fraying to bits. Or just buy new cars.

I played with one of these sets as a kid and always wanted one as an adult. I found this one to have good reviews so I decided to try it out. Assembly was just a little tough, but not terrible. Once we got it put together, I was really pleased with the speed of the cars. Even at full speed, it was rare that either car would jump off the track. Oh, and the cars themselves look really cute. I hope to have lots more fun with this track.
