Advantages Great starter-set
Disadvantages One is not enough…
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 years, due to small parts and functional sharp edges - 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 !
A very good toy in that it needs NO BATTERIES always good, just plugs in the mains with a fair length wire so you can be some distance from your plug socket.
Great fun and the quality you'd expect from a name like skalextic, 50 years 1957-2007 so they must be doing something right. The set we got seems durable enough to last quite some time, though I wouldn't let Boy try putting it together himself. You also get replacement metal doo-dads (Braids) that fit on the underside of the cars, as these will wear with time / use but it looks simple enough to do and the instructions tell you how. The only other 'maintenance' is to keep the track clean and clear of bits and bobs ( dog-hair..etc) easiset way is a paint brush to dust anything out of the main guide line of track.
We need more track for a proper race really and I'll defiantly be looking into it for B-day time. Definitely recommend as a good set to start with though you may well end up buying more ! Overall verdict is 'satisfctory' as it is and does what it says on the box, would be nice if you got a discount for more track or something though as if you and your children like this you are going to want more to expand your race track.
