Description:
No amenity is lacking in this HO scale NASCAR set. It has a generous 23 feet of twisting, black track; a dual-lane lap counter; lane-switching and skidding inserts; a tune-up kit; and two hand-controllers. Rail guards and pennant flags give the track an official look. The two included NASCAR racers--though only 2.5 inches long--look and perform like the real thing. One flaunts a fire-licked DuPont design, the other a striped "Tony the Tiger" paint job. A low chassis offers stability, and wide rear tires ensure better traction. During our experiments at top speed (which the manufacturer clocks at about 1000 mph--to scale), the cars stayed down, and there were awe-inspiring grinding sounds during lane switches. The set requires an indoor space of at least 49 by 60 inches. --Diane Beall
the best ever
this track is the best ever. i woulkd recomend this track to everybody.nothing was wrong with it everything was perfect.
Disappointed father in Denver
I purchased Like-Like slot car track for my two sons this past Christmas. I do not recommend this product. First, the controllers' wires are too short. Both racers must race from the same side of the track. When either car crashes, one racer must tiptoe through, or run around the entire track to retrieve the crashed car. Second, within an one or two hours of operation the contact shoes that make contact to the track become dirty, thus creating numerous dead spots and slow operating cars. It was fun for a short period. We've only used it two times and probably will not use it again. This product offers more frustration than enjoyment. It was a complete waste of money. Do not buy it!
nascar victory lane 500.... aaaasum
first off after reading all of the reviews i was scared about this race set..but thinking like lots of the people / guys out there sounded just like me had old crummy sets and were knowledgeable like me.. this race car set rates high in my mind.. the old way back sets dont comepare and nor do the traction of the olden day race sets on the corners of track.. these cars really go fast and stay on the track really well for the high speed they go. tracks snap together well and come apart well ..the complete set worked well out of the box and cars did to.. you have to have PATIENCE ..take you time checking all connections and ends of track where put together.. then once the cars go you need to help the car out a lap or two then you are ready for racing.... i bought this track for my 6 year old son and 9 year old girl .. they can race well on it and it works well.. i am 41 and a slot car diehard and love it too...it was more than i wanted to pay for , but am satisfied and its well worth the money.... the controllers work good ,,but could have a little more cord but no biggie..this track and set gets ***** from me EXCELLENT.. better cars and magnetic traction...
