Hot Wheels Toy Car Track Set, Drag Strip Champion Playset & 1:64 Scale Car, Head-to-Head Racing, Connects to Other Sets

Like this set a lot. Bought this along with other track and stunt loops for the grandkids to build with. This piece was hard to find and over priced, but it is very similar to a set I had as a kid that I enjoyed immensely. The kids like the drag race design and the starting gate that stops you from false starting. The end gate allows you to see which car won in a close race. You can add track to the set for a longer drag. Good fun to see who has the fast reactions and the fastest car.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: For my grandsons ages 4-9. Always looking for things that they can enjoy when they visit our condo for a few weeks in the summer.

This set is old school without a lot of bells and whistles but it is so fun! It’s great for the younger ones who love hot wheels but aren’t ready for the more complex sets, and it’s great for parents who don’t want toys that make a whole bunch of noise. The simple mechanics of this set is really cool and good for little physics lessons too. The only downside is some models of hot wheels don’t work well with the launcher (the strike point hits weird on different cars) but it’s a small problem. The car it comes with works super well. This was super fun Christmas morning and we still play with it all the time

I bought the Hot Wheels Dragstrip from the other sellers section of Amazon for $13. For $13, it's not bad, but it's not worth anything over $15. The dragstrip was super easy to put together, but the flag and drop down stand each have a sticker you have to put on, which are annoying to line up straight but no problem. The flag is flimsy and is hard to stand up straight for each race. It usually falls to the right, so it's pretty much useless in races as I have to eyeball the winning car. Some cars won't work in the launcher. If the car has any space between the top of the back or the bottom, the launcher won't shoot it off correctly, which is a bummer because some cars are just useless. There is also an indention in the middle of the track where the car goes in bay. If a car has a narrow wheel base, then it's useless because it'll hit the top of this indention and not race correctly. I'm not sure of why it was designed this way, but there is no purpose for it. I also use the dragstrip without the drop down, because some cars like a Hummer or Offroad truck do not fit beneath the flags and will hit it before getting out of the bay. They do, however, fit in the launcher, which is nice. Overall, it is a fun toy. The launcher is nice for bigger Hot Wheels, but has it's flaws. The drop down is a good concept, but has it's flaws, and the finish line flag is a good idea, but has it's flaws. 4/5 Stars for $13, but if I spent more money on it, then I would give it 3/5 Stars.

You never know which of a child's gifts will be the favorite at Christmas, but this one took first prize! We liked that this one is ok for younger kids than most of the other Hotwheels tracks. Once I figured out that I was trying to put the orange track pieces on upside down, it came together easily. Not all Hotwheels cars can pass through the track FYI. It is great for a kid who wants to play alone or with a parent or friend. Highly recommend. It is lightweight and you can carry it to any room of the house that has room for it. Maybe don't point it toward a sofa so you don't have to fetch hotwheels all day.

A rare 5 star review! Best hot wheels playset we've had so far, and we have a few. Simplicity wins the day. Assembles in seconds and works well each time. My 5 year old is addicted and this has shown he's got a good reaction time. Hands down champ of the house. My 2 year old daughter loves it too but can't catch big brother. Yet! Seems so much better than some of these convoluted hot wheels get ups. Let's go racing!!

I love my drag strip and I'm 55 years old. I sat in the floor with my wife for hours racing our cars. Make sure you get the smaller Hot Wheel style cars as the bigger ones won't clear the starting gate. Also, I bought some extra track to make mine a little longer. The extra track doesn't cost much and is well worth it. Good luck and have fun!

This is surprisingly fun, doesn't require batteries, and allows two or more kids (or adults) to play. Two people can be at the starting gates, each with their finger on a launcher. Another person can activate the tree. And someone else can be at the end of the track verifying a winner. Seriously, it's fun for 2-4 people. The flag at the end of the track is probably the weakest link. It balances precariously and then falls down at the slightest touch of vibration-- supposedly according to which car passes by first. It works 85% of the time, and the other 15% of the time it falls down before either car reaches the flag triggers. The start tree works well, and the launchers are great. The start tree is hard to explain but it works based on gravity and a sort of side to side shimmy which slows the fall or drop, and then at the end it opens the gates. If someone tries to launch early, their car will slam into a gate. The launchers have enough speed to launch their cars with some excitement. Not so fast that a kid would get hurt, but enough gusto to make you watch carefully to see who won. The only thing I'd recommend is that you buy additional track. It's a pretty short and lame drag race with the included track. Over way, way too quickly. I extended ours about 6-7 feet and it made it a lot more fun and exciting for my son. Overall, it's a lot of fun. But I knocked off two stars because it was so cheap of Hot Wheels not to include more track.

Tal cual se ve en las fotos, es original y de buena calidad.

Esta padre y más barato que en tiendas comerciales

Purchased this item from Amazon (shipped and sold by Amazon) 2 years ago for $24 which was totally worth it. However at todays price of $60, I’d stay away.

Arrivata nei tempi previsti e ben imballata. La pista dragstrip Champion è carina anche se un po' corta ma espandibile. La cosa bella è "cancello di partenza" che si apre alla fine della discesa del dispositivo che rappresenta il semaforo di gara permettendo alle Hot Wheels di partire, anche la bandiera traguardo che mostra il vincitore pendendo verso la corsia vincente è carina solo che dovrò cercare un modo di renderla più precisa perché si fissa male quando è alzata. Nel complesso comunque e' molto bella

Loved the quality of the track and easy setup.My son isn't even 2 and he can use everything on the track
