BluTrack - 18 ft. Starter Kit Review

BluTrack - 18 ft. Starter Kit

(More customer reviews)
I had never heard of "BluTrack" a couple of months ago, but when my soon to be 4yo son informed me he wanted a "race car party", I started researching the best tracks out there to race Hot Wheels or Matchbox cars on.I fully expected to buy a run-of-the mill Hot Wheels track at Toys R Us, but when I asked some veteran moms about their top picks, they pointed me towards BluTrack instead.It seemed like a lot of money to drop on a pretty simplistic looking toy, but I have to say, it has been a huge hit with both my kid & my hubby.Like the previous poster, it was a little "bumpy" coming out of the box, but we had no problem softening it up.It worked fine as is in the house, but when I moved it outside for the big race car party, the sun warmed it up and it got plenty smooth.

At our party, the track was a hit again with both the kids & their dads.I foresee getting a lot of use out of it, especially as my son gets older and can come up with different configurations on his own.

I bought this for my child, remembering the orange Hit Wheels track I had as a kid.

The photo in the Amazon listing shows a configuration with 3 loops and a banked curve.The cars will NOT complete that course - gravity just does not provide enough oomph to get a car through all of that.The best I could get a car to do is to go around a single loop, and that was with a 10' drop from the starting point to the loop.

This is not rocket science (and I am an engineer) - there is just no way that a car will go through that sort of complicated design.I am not sure if the track has too much friction or what, but the cars just don't go fast enough to make it through.I tried brand new cars right out of the package, so it was not like they were too bent up.I tried old cars I had from when I was a kid (a lot heavier / more metal).None worked very well.

Still, even with a single loop it is fun.Just not $70 worth of fun.$19.99 would be about right.

A better alternative is the 4-lane Raceway track:

Darda Create - A - Course Building System Review

I've been buying Hot Wheels race tracks and cars for a long time and noticed they have been lowering the quality a lot.But then I found Darda race tracks.This race track is simply the best race track I've seen and used in the past 30 years!

Has a lot of parts so the kids can build a lot of different tracks.Really easy to build.And the cars have a wind up motor so good that the tracks can have a lot of loops and the cars can manage them all.The cars almost never leave the track, which happens a lot with Hot Wheels.

Absolutely recommended!Kids love it!
