Micro Scalextric Car Race Track Sets for Kids Age 4+ - Batman vs Joker: The Race for Gotham City Track Set, Battery Powered Car Track, Slot Cars Kids' Play Vehicles - Mini Toy Racing Tracks for Boys

The media could not be loaded.  OK, so I'm reading a LOT of reviews where people are saying one track doesn't work, one car doesn't work, or breaks after only a few uses. This is easily fixed, and to be honest the instructions could be better at explaining this. To keep this set working, you are going to have to take your time in assembly, and do a little DIY.So first lesson from this Christmas, don't let the kids assemble this. My 7 year old could do it no problem, could figure out the layout, but encountered one BIG problem. Check the track before conne ting together, pinch the blades close together before inserting the track. Never force it!! If forced (as my 7 Yr old did) the metal splits and bulges. This causes problems when the cars are running, as these create sharp bits to pull away at the metallic ribbon powering the cars, basically wearing those bits out faster!Which brings me to the second lesson, buy a LOT of spare blades. The metallic ribbons under the cars will wear, in the case of my badly assembled track quite quickly. Once these fray and come away, the car won't work without a replacement. Luckily two spare blades are included in the kit, with only one screw required to change them.Funnily enough the second spare in the kit was upside down, but this was simple to fix. Just peel back the metal retaining clips and flip it around.Which brings me to a few additional lessons. You need to flump the metallic ribbons up a little bit, raise them so they're not flat to the bottom of the car. These need to make a good connection with the metal track to power the car. One bad crash and these can be messed up requiring repositioning. Also going backwards is a big no no as this messes up the wires.This kit does require a fair bit of care to put together, and Maintanence to keep the cars running right, but all in all its AWESOME. Kids have loved it, the hot present of Christmas day. Lil work from me and it's all running beautifully. The cars are sturdy and after many crashes (including intentional ones where they put tiny figures on the track like an old western) are still looking near pristine. The batteries seem to have a good life, I've had about 4 hours use out of 6 bog standard AA batteries so far. The spare blades are pretty cheap, and easy enough to replace.I would recommend this set, 100%, and with the warnings I've given you shouldn't have any problems.

Brought a another track of this easy to put together track and added to the first track I had got, prefect for all ages and even better that you can put a battery style track on to a electric track

Unfortunately a main Xmas present spoilt as the Batman vehicle did not work. Chased up various ways and contacted scalextrik direct for a replacement still waiting . Never asked for any refund just new car for my son to play against his brother now wish I’d returned it and purchased elsewhere. Not a hurry it seems

Product is good value for money, it was the perfect fit, nice and warm and more pockets than you know what to do with. The Quality is adequate at this price bracket and the jacket looks quite good when its on.Only reason it didn't get a five was because one of my pockets had a hole in it that was big enough to lose things down.I'll sew it back up myself though too much hassle to send it back and get a replacement.It's too early to review its outdoor performance overtime, but at the price even if it only gives me a years use it was worth the cost.

Grandson and adults liked this a lot easy to put together and great fun

Once connected together correctly this is a good little set. Unfortunately I cant score higher than 2 stars as only the Batman car works, joker will not go round no matter how much we try to adjust the car. Really disappointing as this was my sons Santa present & he can’t actually race anyone on it which defeats the object! No idea how to contact seller to request a replacement car & don’t want to return the whole set as based on other reviews we may then end up with a set that doesn’t work at all & one car is better than nothing! Disappointed with the quality for the price paid! Would not recommend!

Great for a kids first track set. Adjustable controller settings so you don’t end up retrieving cars every 10 seconds whilst the little ones get to grips with how it works.

My nephew enjoyed playing with this after I got it for him as a Christmas gift. Great that these are battery powered nowadays, too - np need to run a cable across the room for people to trip over.
