My son was always trying to come up with new ways of how he could race multiple Hot Wheels cars at once and when I stumbled upon this toy, I knew it was a must for my Hot Wheels fan! We bought this toy for my son’s 5th birthday and it was a great hit amongst my little king and all his friends. One of his friends mom’s even asked me to share the link so she could buy this race way for her son for Christmas. You can race your traditional Hot Wheels cars or double up lanes to race monster trucks, another crowd fave in our home. I recommend removing the race reader because the finish line race reader is not tall enough for the monster trucks to pass through. Understandably so, being as it was made for Hot Wheels, BUT it’s still makes a great way for your littles to make and build tracks to their hearts content. I also recommend buying more tracks and connectors to extend your raceway. The boys seemed to love extending the track.It’s very sturdy! I have a two year old that doesn’t fully understand that he can’t walk up or sit on the raceway, so when I can’t get to him before he does that, it’s just a sturdy toy that can take some weight and get drug around some. My boys are rough! Anyway, awesome purchase!
