Kids will like how fast these little cars can go. They work in the classic track-car model: the cars stick to the tracks through magnetic attraction, and are propelled along by a single "revving" station. The racers can be controlled with an easy-to-use remote control. Carrera has also incorporated a "Turbo" speed button, which allows the cars to reach even faster speeds. At full speed, they'll traverse the entire 18-foot track in close to 10 seconds. The track itself is entertaining to race on. There are long straightaways, hairpin turns, and a banking ramp-turn where the cars can spin out of control if they're going too fast. There's even a place where the two tracks cross and the two cars can collide. There's also a lap counter, allowing you to take a break from competitive play and race against your best times. What's in the Box
Lightning McQueen race car, Chick Hicks race car, 26 track pieces, 2 controllers, and accessories.
This 18-foot track-car course is filled with hairpin turns, loops and long straightaways. View larger. |

 Great Gift December 25, 2009

This product is wonderful, yes it does have it up's and down's like if you hold the throttle down to far the cars will fly off the track, but I have notice that if you put some small rubber bands around the trigger to limit the movement it will slow the speed of the cars allowing them to stay on the track. I have a three year old son and we have fun on it all day. Yes when you get it make sure to flatting the metal brushing to the bottom of the car so the care will fit nicely to the track to minimize roll offs when going around the corners. overall I think is an wonderful product.

This was a Christmas gift that was assembled this morning and played with throughout the day; I would estimate it's been played with a total of about 4 hours today. I did buy one of the extension sets so my layout is not the same as what is showing on the Carrera Go "Cars" box. As far as cars flying off the track, I'm in agreement with another reviewer in terms of these cars possibly requiring a "break-in" period. I also agree that the turbo-button is useless unless you WANT to see your cars fly off the track. Seems like the more time we spent racing the cars, the more reliable they became as far as staying on the track, both Lightning and Chick Hicks. Every few minutes I'd check to make sure the contacts were laying as flat as possible. By the end of play today, we were logging 20 or more laps without either car leaving the track. I have several sharp turns as well as a fly-over on my layout. I did not use the high banking turn but I am using the 45 degree banked turn that came with the extension set. I also purchased the Carrera Go Batmobile and Mario Kart Peach individually. The Batmobile sticks to the track like GLUE!!! I don't think it flew out of the slot one time today. It's seemingly much faster than the other 3 cars. "Peach" is also a good performing car; a "fun" car to see zipping around the track but nowhere near as fast as the Batmobile. I did have to add a little more height to the flyover because Peach requires more clearance. If the enthusiasm continues, I will most certainly be buying more Carrera Go cars and extension track. I like the fact that the cars are reasonably priced and the track is easy to assemble. Bottom line, this race set is a hit with my kids, ages 10, 9, 8 and 6!
Wonderful, lots of fun! December 27, 2009
Tool Rules!

Contrary to other reviews I found this set awesome. I got it for my three year-old and he loves it (my five year-old daughter as well). Setup took a little bit of time and was painless (but I do have a reserve a patience). Cars do go screaming off the track when you are going too fast, that is part of learning how to race slot cars (much like real life). Give it a go your kids will love it (Dads and Moms too). Adults can navigate the track with no problems whatsoever, but this is racing so push the envelope!
The lap counter is neat too, easily tracks who is ahead in the race.

This is a wonderful beginner's set and provided my son with hours of fun on Christmas day. His father (me) had slot car tracks as a child and none touch this one. I don't understand other reviews that assert the cars do not stay on the track. Of course, you can't go full throttle around turns and through the cross-over sections, but we can open it up on the straight-aways and the cars really stick to the track. I have found no "balance" or weight issues with the cars, either. This is a great set for beginners and a great value. The instructions were very well though out, although some might say they are cryptic. If you take the time to study the key system, it is a snap to put together. I had this whole thing assembled in less than 1/2 hour. This is my son's favorite toy, and I must say it is his dad's favorite toy as well. Kudos to Carrera and to Amazon for the great product!
