My 1st Scalextric Set

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Scalextric
from: Scalextric


7 months ago I bought this Scalextric for my granddaughters, 4 yrs and 6 yrs old, to play with when they visit. It has been a great success. Visiting 6 to 10 year olds also loved it.

None of the children have problems putting the cars on the track themselves, partly due to the magnets that help hold the cars on the track. The cars go at incredible speeds (10 laps in 12 seconds). At full throttle they will fly off, but that is all part of the skill and fun - keeping them on the track so you win! My cars were not damaged when they came off but a couple of cushions strategically placed would make sure there was no damage. I have had no problems with cars being stopped by the track. One car developed a fault and Scalextrix replaced ... Read More:

Scalextric Simpsons Set

Christmas day and my boys were chuffed to get this toy, then I set it up and all looked good and the kids loved it! Then, when I unplugged the handsets, the soldered end connectors snapped off and are now rattling about in the unit! Poorly manfactured handsets and a huge disappointment to my boys! I hanr returned it as it is now unusable.

Scalextric Digital McLaren Set; Hamilton v Alonso

this game offers long hoyrs racing away with friends and family. Not for the first scalextric owner but the more experienced racer will thouroughly enjoy. high speed over taking is the main key attribute and that is the raeson i brought it and it doesn't diasppoint. my only critism is the durability of the cars. from the slightest skid or crash they show major signs of damage. on the whole, a great buy.

Scalextric Start! Set

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Scalextric
from: Scalextric


This is about the cheapest scalextric kit that you can buy and there is a good reason for it. It is because you cannot really do anything with it. It gives you a good feel for the dimensions of the cars and track and initiates the mouth-watering potential of the fun that can be had from racing scalextric's slot cars, but nothing else. I would recommend it as a starter kit if you intend to buy extra pieces of track and cars to expand the set, like I do, but if you want an out-of-the-box race system then I would suggest that you take a look at some of the other kits.

Scalextric Digital Super GT Set

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Scalextric
from: Scalextric


What a great idea this, 4 cars racing on a 2 lane track and changing lanes!

Pity that the number of Digital enabled cars is very few, 3 came with this set - because thats all there is at the moment if you ignore the F1 cars.

Problem with the set is that the changeover pieces are terribly built, cheap and nasty! As this is what the set is bought for it makes the high price simply not worth paying!

The fault lies with how the changeovers work, they operate by a bent metal rod being pulled and pushed in an electric coil .... but, the cheap design means that the rods come adrift from the operating levers. This means that the switchovers stop working - all the time!

Pathetic quality and design ... wait ... Read More:
