Advantages: Boys lloved it, easy to assemble and use Disadvantages: Quite pricey
...~~THE BOX~~
The scalextric comes in a nice big yellow box with bright pictures on the front and a big picture showing the two cars which you get and a carton boy playing with them. The sides of the box have information about the voltage needed for the power supply and a warning that this toy is not suitable for children under the age of 3 due to small parts. The bottom of the box has a picture of the completed track on so you can see what it is ... ...as this is a child’s scalextric then it has been made extremely simple to put together. On the base of each piece there is a number and the track fits together in the number order. Even without these numbers then this is very simple to set up just by looking at the picture on the bottom of the box.

The set has 9 track pieces, all labelled with letters, A,B,C,D and E, for ease of assembly.

== My First Scalextric Set ==
Having seen the Ad on TV and Boy really desparate for one I thought this the best to go for in the way of remote control race track as at 4 he's really not old enough for a big expensive set so he got this for Christmas. Cost us £30 from Toys'r'Us though can be found in many other stores and on-line, the price is about the same everywhere but you may find it a bit cheaper. Age on box states not suitable for under 3 ... ...we haven't found any particularly sharp bits yet ? so unsure which bits that refers to. Also tells you that new controllers may become warm and emit vapour and give off slight smell -this is normal and disappears after use. Nice !
== Our first Race.. ==
The track is easy enough to click together, to create a simple figure of eight race-track. Then it's a simple matter of placing cars, plugging in power and controllers and you're ready to race. ...
