Great Fun but...
When I set this up for my (almost) 3 year old, the cars kept coming off as per the other reviews. So I bought a new AC/DC adaptor which allows you to change the voltage to 12v(the adaptor I purchased had several fittings and 3v 6v 9v 12v settings). On a setting of twelve votes the cars still go very quick but they rarely fall off. The only thing that lets it down is sometimes the contacts need adjusting (making wider!). As this is a first scaletrix I am suprised Hornby hasn't come up with a switch!
Fun but disappointing!
When the track and cars are working well my 3 year old boy and 6 year old girl love it. But I have to say that I spend a great deal of time putting the cars back together. One car more than the other seems to come apart a bit too easily and then I have to keep spending time putting it back together. And then you have to get it just right or the cars won't go round the track properly. It comes with crash barriers that don't go on very easily and then come off and seem to hinder the cars. Yes the track does fit together quite easily but little boys like taking things apart and you can't let them do that or it will wreck the track. I would say that this is a toy that needs to be supervised whilst in use, you cannot leave them alone with it! The children love it when it works, but I have been very disappointed with it because of the amount of my time it takes up when in use.
Poor quality
Bought this set (not from Amazon) as a starter to the world of Scalextric. Unfortunately the socket for the DC connector was loose and the current would therefore only flow intermittently. The slightest movement would disconnect power. Nothing I could do to rectify it and the set therefore had to be returned. Seems pretty poor that a major toy manufacturer cannot even get somethng as basic as that right. Bought an alternate set, not Scalextric, which was much more robust and had a far larger and more interesting circuit.
Expensive for what it is and poorly made.
