Hot Wheels Energy Track Playset

I got this as a Christmas present for my three year old nephew and he loved it! Putting it together was a little confusing at first (because of the loops) but a good look at the picture on the box takes care of that. It came as advertised, it includes two cars and requires no batteries, which are two advantages because the kids got to play with it right away. Once assembled, it doesn't take up too much space and it's easy to take apart for storage, overall a great toy by Hot Wheels.

I bought this for my grand-nephew and he and I both had so much fun playing with it! We both liked that it doesn't need batteries, and his 4 year old hands were strong enough to pull the rubber band launcher all the way back. It worked really well with all his Hot Wheels cars (and he has a lot of them) but we had fun trying out other cars, too, although they really didn't launch like the HW cars did. It was a bit tricky to put together - the directions are all pictures and not very clear (hey, toy makers, some of us can read), but once we figured out how it went together, it was easy to assemble and stood up to all our shenanigans. His little sister (not quite 2 yet) loved it, too, even though she couldn't pull back the launcher yet.

Okay so I read the reviews before buying this toy and figured maybe some people just can’t figure out the mechanics of the track. And K was right. It took literally 2 mins to put together and stays together. And works everyone my son launches it. The only thing i would say is maybe the instructions need to be more clear bc it doesn’t really say how the track shows connect up which is where it probably caused a problem for others and their tracks wouldn’t stay together. My son actually figured it out before i did on how the tracks connect and he is 4. But i would just say the instructions should be a little more clear which would probably address and bad review they have gotten.

I was looking everywhere for a track that my 2 1/2 year old could use and not be too complicated and sturdy! This is IT! There is 2 things they have to set up before every launch but he understands that. It is very sturdy too! As a 2 year old does, things get thrown around and sat on and the material is just bendy enough to not snap. The orange track part easily comes off for somewhat smaller storage too. Most of all our million hot wheels work on it too! Love it and so does his friends that come play.

This was for my son to help occupy his down in online learning. It was a let hard at first to set up for him (11 yrs old) and some of the universal hot wheels track doesn't want to attach. Other wise it was a perfect gift.

My kids are loving this, great product, it took some time to assemble as I let the kids do it, and they got excited when they managed to play with it. It's a fun and great experience, especially for my 2yrs old son who loves vehicles so much.

My nephew loved it! It is super easy to assemble, and while might look fragile, after a few uses it feels robust. I'd buy it again without a doubt.

This track really looks neat but has plenty of issues. For starters the car that came with the track does not work 100% of the time. The big issue is with the launcher after the first loop. The key to activate it must not be in the slot when the car is being launched, it will contact most cars and send the car flying off the track. The other part about the second launcher is it is very sensitive, if using a heavy car it will trigger the second launcher when it is on the first loop, stopping the car in the track once it gets to the bottom of the loop. The first launcher has an issue too. There are two holes that line up with the wheels of the cars. This un-stabilizes the car during launch. Some lighter cars get flung off the track before it reaches the first loop. Testing out various cars we found heavy cars do not work well since they trigger the second launcher before getting there, light cars get flung off the track before the first loop, tall cars hit the key to activate the second launcher, cars that are out of alignment never make it through the ring of fire. Out of 12 new cars I found only 3 that would go through most of the time. The thing looks really neat but I was getting aggravated playing with it.

Good

My Grandson, ( & Daddy) love hot wheels & the energy track. Proper boy toy!! Squeals of delight too from my Grand Daughter

excellent

Very good my nephew liked it very much.And very prompt service by Amazon.Please keep it up..

Just perfect for my Grandsons who have so many toys already. They love playing with this when they are in fast car mode. I feel that buying bigger version of this would have been a waste of money. The thrill for them is served very well with this version.
