I'm not a slot car enthusiast, but had Tyco sets when I was a kid. This is SO much better!
Look I'm not a slot car enthusiast, so if you are disregard this. You probably hold this stuff to a higher standard. Me, I just remember when I got a Tyco racing set under the Christmas tree when I was 8. I remembered loving that set even though it only worked really right for the first few hours. After that, the cars degraded and didn't make consistent contact and sputtered around the race set. And I'm sure my parents paid $60 bucks for it back in 1978.I got this for my 6 year old kid, (and ok me too), for Christmas this year. it cost about $100 which to me doesn't put it in a different class from the Tyco stuff. However...it's in a whole other class. I can't say enough about how much better made the track is...or the cars. We raced this for HOURS over multiple days and it's still fun and still going strong.Additionally, this set came with a 360 loop. I mean I got one of those sets from Tyco with a loop when I was 12 or 13 and I'm pretty sure no car ever successfully made it. I was really concerned that my 6 year old would not be able to get the car around the loop successfully as it takes some trigger manipulation to get it around successfully, but he got it the first time. These cars execute that loop like clockwork...every time. Coming from the Tyco world, that is beyond amazing.Also...there is a "turbo" button on the controllers. OK, every time that I've EVER seen a turbo button on ANYTHING, (remember the IBM XT Turbo anyone?), it was completely useless. On this set...you hit the turbo at the wrong time and your car flies 20 feet through the air and smashes into a wall. Cool! (By the way, I did that about 20 times and the cars still work fine).One note is that the instructions with the track aren't too good, so you NEED to watch a YouTube video on setup and basic driving before you get into it. Search for the video "Carrera GO!!! Track & Car Setup Must Have Info!" from Hotslots132shop.I don't want you to think it's too hard to set up because it isn't, but it's just nice to have the introduction before you begin.Anyway, this set is AWESOME and I've already recommended it to a bunch of my co-workers.

Simple track; need adult help in set up
Kind of a simple slot car track. Probably a younger child would enjoy. Having a grandchild 9 years old it is pretty simple. Hard to read "directions" as only one page and very small print. Once you get it together then younger kids would be able to unsnap track, yet the track breaks rather easily if they twist disconnect the track pieces - you MUST pull the track straight out. Nothing major, just small clips which we have glued. Gets boring pretty quickly. Has turbo boost but can only be used for the loop otherwise cars fly off the track.

Great toy!
Purchased as Christmas gift for my son who is 3 and 1/2. Product says suitable for ages8+ but so far we've had no issues in age gap outside of the loop which is too difficult for him as it requires the turbo button to be pressed and released upon enry and exit. Just put the set together without the loop for him and I. He understands that the slot cars can't be rolled on the ground off the track due to track electric "feelers" on bottom of car. Two cars that came with set are great. Also purchased Lightening McQueen car for set but this car does not handle well at all on set. Would not recommend this to others. Looking forward to adding pieces to the set over time.

Nice track!
Great set for my son on Christmas. We haf additional track left from a set that was given to us. The directions arent to great but it went together easy enough. It does take some skill to keep the car from flying off the track, may not be appropriate for real little kids but dad will like it.

It's pretty big a takes up most of his room
Got this for my grandson for Christmas. It's pretty big a takes up most of his room. The cars do come off the track and you have to keep putting them on. I would think they would have mastered this problem by now.

Not real user friendly
Even though rated for an 8 yr old. Very hard to line cars up on track. To complicated for even an 8 yr old who is very mechanically inclined. After trying it once or twice he was not impressed & showed no interest. For the $ we don't feel it is worth it.

Ok Track
Track is huge and cool, but all of the pieces do not line up correctly so I had to do things to improvise on parts. The track has a couple dead zones where the cars are not picking up power (electricity). When the cars over heat they automatically go into turbo and fly off the track. Don't get me wrong my 2 kids love it, but for the money I expected better product.

Pretty cool set.
It is a good race set. Easy to set up and runs well.

pista carrera
la pista è facile da montare, è divertente, e mio figlio di 5 anni ha subito imparato a gestire la velocità.unico difetto il guard rail è fatto con materiale scadente ed ho dovuto utilizzare quello di un'altra pista.complessivamente un buon acquisto

Ein Spass für jedes Alter
Die Bahn war eine Überraschung für meinen Mann zu Weihnachten. Schnelle Lieferung und sehr guter Preis. Alles war in Ordnung, so dass die Überraschung wirklich gelungen ist. Ich würde jederzeit wieder bei dieser Firma bestellen.

Bon produit
Il faut roder les voitures avant d'obtenir la pleine vitesse (-).Un peu difficile et délicat à démonter les rails (--).Bon circuit, rapide et plaisant (+).Bien la fonction Turbo qui donne une bonne accélération (++).

Carrera ist halt Carrera
Mein Mann wollte seinen Söhnen (5 und 7) endlich eine Carrerabahn gönnen und hatte sich dabei wohl auch selbst noch bedacht.Ich finde den Aufbau der Bahn selber mühsam und habe mich nach einiger Zeit ausgeklinkt. Da die Bahn dann aufgebaut selbst sehr lang ist, brauch man einen Platz auf dem sie erst einmal stehen bleiben kann. Wir haben Sie bei Großeltern im Spielzimmer aufgebaut gelassen, da in den Kinderzimmern selbst natürlich nicht so viel Platz ist und man nicht ständig über die Bahn stolpern möchte. Außerdem finde ich es schade, dass die Bahn nicht leichter abbaubar ist (vielleicht nur in einigen wenigen Einzelteilen) damit man die Bahn kurzfristig vielleicht umstellen kann.Ist die Bahn erst einmal aufgebaut, ist der Spielspaß bei allen Rennfahrern natürlich groß!

Déjà plusieurs heures au compteur !
Hormis les manettes qui font vraiment mauvais "plastoc", le circuit est de bonne facture et les voitures sont très belles. Ce qui est aussi intéressant avec cette marque, c'est la possibilité de racheter certaines pièces à part pour réparer ou agrandir le circuit. Nous l'avons offert à notre garçon de 4 ans qui a vite compris comment négocier le looping :-)

Carrerabahn
Wird ein Geburtstagsgeschenk für unseren bald 5-jährigen. Er wünscht sich diese Bahn bereits seit fast einem Jahr. Und jetzt soll sein (und Papas...grins) Wunsch in Erfüllung gehen.Kann leider noch nichts zur Qualität/Verarbeitung sagen(Geburtstag ist er Ende Juni), aber habe mich auf die anderen Bewertungen verlassen und bin guter Dinge, daß es eine gute Bahn ist.
