Carrera Digital Electric Slot Car Racing Track Set Includes Two Cars & Two Dual-Speed, D124 Full Speed

Purchased the 1:24 Carrera Digital Electric Slot Car Racing Track Set for my grandkids this Christmas. Assembly takes a bit of time but is not difficult. The track is well designed and assembles securely with locking pieces between each track section. The cars are incredibly fast, big, authentic looking and VERY durable. After my grandkids got done smashing them 100s of times the cars still run fine. Its takes quite a bit of speed for the cars to come out of their slots and not once did any of the cars end up on the floor (built the track on a large 4 section table) after crashing. The guard rails kept the cars on the track 100%. My only complaint would be that the accessories (lap counter, starting tower, .... which can be purchased as addons are overpriced. I highly recommend this slot car set.

Overall I am impressed with the quality of the set, and I like the fact that you can buy accessories.The cars have magnets that help keep them on the track, and track has adjustable speed that also helps.The cars seem ok quality, but the rear spoilers are cheap and one broke off within the first hour (not really a biggie).If you are a first timer, then the instructions are not particularly obvious. I think they could provide a setup video somewhere.This set is LARGE. I'm guessing at least 8 foot in length once it is installed I think. This would not fit on your kitchen table.TIPS:The track setup requires a bit of getting used to. When I first connected the tracks, I didn't use the red clips, and the track would come apart. You have to use the red plastic connectors to lock the track pieces together, and make sure that they are inserted the right way.The lights of the car are great, but they do turn on and off via the hand controller, and so if they are not working, then that could be the reason. Also, if they are flashing, then you might have to turn off the fuel setting on the controller.The cars can switch lanes when it passes over the lane switching section, but to do so, you need to press the controller button prior to approaching the section. This is actually my favorite feature of the track and allows for overtaking etc.You can run more than two cars on the track if you buy additional cars and controllers. I bought an additional police car / controller which is fun. The controller supports up to 4 wired controllers, and there is a way to program a controller to a car. I think to use wireless, you need to buy a separate receiver in addition to the handsets, since this set is wired by default.

Great track lots of fun made very good

Def not for kids these things are fast. Excellent quality

You need space for this set but if you do it is one one the best inventions. You'll have hours of fun. Not many friends make over but the ghost car option makes it perfect for when they can't.

Great product, easy to set up and use, I like that I can turn down the speed so my 4 year old grandson can use it , the braking is also adjustable
