For budding racecar drivers, this is the ultimate first racing set. In no time, beginners will be tearing around the track and taking corners like a pro in the strikingly coloured cars. Included in the My First Scalextric Set are two bright red and yellow

#My First Scalextric. A great toy (2008-11-17) 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...

#Great fun and great value! (2008-11-16) I bought this for my 2 1/2 year old son for Christmas. It is very quick and easy to assemble and he soon got to grips with the controls. One year later, after lots of play. . . especially when friends come round, it still provides lots of entertainment. We have never had any trouble whatsoever with the cars getting stuck and I can only acertain that the reviewers that have had, either had a faulty set or didn t assemble it firmly enough.

#Not suitable for 3-5 year olds (2008-11-10) I bought this for my 3 and 5 yr old boys (and secretly for me). Once we eventually got the cars going, they kept stopping as contact with track was poor, this was great fun. They do come off the track a lot at the start but boys soon got hang of it. One car kept stopping frustrating the life out of my 3yo then the small flimsy piece of plastic holding car to track broke off after only 2 days of play. Hardly a durable toy and left a dangerous small bit of plastic lying around on floor. If scalectrix are going to market this for younger...

#Great Fun but... (2008-10-28) 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! (2008-02-27) 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 lit...

#Scaletric Mini Racing Set (2009-06-28) I purchased the above Scaletric for my grandson for his 4th birthday. He was really excited with it and he his dad and his two grandad s had a great time racing each other around the track. Glad to have got this for him

#Brilliant father son time (2009-01-18) My son was bought this for Christmas and I have to say it doesn t disappoint. We have spent time playing together and to be honest fixing the cars together which is what it is all about. The track is basic ( cross over function great fun ) but we can build the set together and my son thinks its fantastic as it is . . .

Bart and Homer are racing on skateboards around the skatepark! Who s going to be chasing who as they speed around the track? Squeeze the trottle and watch as these famous Simpsons characters race through the inclined hairpin bend and a ramped tunnel! This awesome Simpsons Scalextric set contains Bart and Homer on skateboards , mains transformer, highly decorated track mat, track and 2 hand throttles! The Skateboard Chase Set from Scalextric requires a space 140cm by 60cm. Micro Scalextric The Simpsons Skateboard Chase Set is a wonderful way to encourage competiton. A great race set for boys and Simpsons fans!

#scalextric simpsons (2009-03-07) great fun but need to take cre of skate boards as they can break with heavy hands!

#shame it broke on first use! (2007-12-27) 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.

#Just generally a really great toy (2007-10-16) We got this last christmas for some cousins (5 year old and 7 year old) and they absolutely adored the set. Surprisingly, it even had all the adults wanting a go on it as well! And just to clarify, this is not just a set that makes the cars go round and round, (i have experienced one of those, very boring. ) the scalectrix simpsons set can alter the speed of the cars at your will, making it a matter of jugement how fast to go - too slow and your opponent is way ahead of you on the lap, but too fast and you fly off the track at the bend!
