My 5 and 7-year-old grandsons helped me review this Hot Wheels accessory and they were delighted with it. The track set holds up to heavy use and abuse and provides plenty of varied play opportunities.First up the box and instructions specify that ‘adult assembly is required’, and this is definitely true. The instruction booklet but gives a patient adult just enough information to go on. It took about 30 minutes to assemble for a reasonably handy person, and you have to learn the trick of certain fittings which then fall into place.One car is provided with the set, but the fun really starts when you introduce further Hot Wheels cars onto the track, via the drop-in ramp, for racing,

This is the most elaborate and complex Hot Wheels set we’ve encountered, and it’s now the centrepiece of a growing (but not excessively large) set-up which looks likely to dominate our living room for some time to come.It’s also the only set where, thanks to the battery shove, the cars keep going and going and going, most of the time. Because of the sheer speed of Hot Wheels, the other sets to date have all involved car journeys that have lasted a few seconds, so it’s nice to get something that has a bit more longevity. However it’s not foolproof, and even when running normally, it’s not uncommon for cars to fall off spontaneously.Unlike other sets, the launcher here is a button,

The Hot Wheels set only does one thing, but it does it well and has plenty of wow factor. So the downside is that it does not connect to other sets - it is just a stand-alone set piece that takes up a bunch of space.The positive is that it is impressive and the joy in watching cars smash into each other is a joy that almost every child loves. It doesn't always go smoothly - car will sometimes leave the track and you need to select cars a low centre of gravity to minimise this risk.Unfortunately it does not come with all the cars you need, so you need to already have a decent Hot Wheels collection, or need to buy a couple of packs of cars in addition to this set.It is also a bit of a battery hog,

**Edit...I've knocked off a star as this thing rips through expensive D batteries which somewhat limits the appeal**We have an ever-growing Hot Wheels setup in our house. Having ordered the excellent and impressive shark attack multi-story carpark we've added to it with additional track builder sets to connect it to a number of the smaller "stopover" sets.This corkscrew set is a great fun toy in its own right. Use the launcher provided to set the cars off and they trundle through the first ramp then get shot by the 3 motors into a loop system that goes for as long as they can last until spinning off or hitting another vehicle.What we've started experimenting with is using this as a lower down set to our other stuff.

My Son has quite a large Hot Wheels city set-up in his bedroom and this is one of the medium sized sets he has. This is a great set for anyone who is perhaps just starting out with Hot Wheels as it can be happily played with by itself whereas some of the other sets do need to be attached to others to get the most out of them for play.The set itself does need some assembly but my Husband managed to get it all attached in under 15minutes time although we have had to correct the track joins a few times.The set is motorised and whizzes the car around the track and if you have more cars you can add them to have even more fun.

The Hot Wheels FTB65 Corkscrew Crashis great fun and works well. It doesn't take much to setup and once your done, it looks great. You get a toy car, but as my son has many Hot wheel cars it worked out well. However, not all the hot wheels cars fit and some are too big, you will need the smaller and lighter die-cast cars.Once you get going and start it looks great and is fun watching your favourite cars loop with speed. Also shows the dynamics of velocity and speed. The Corkscrew is colourful and feels strong. Everything works well.The only downside, and this is a downside is that this sucks battery life. Lucky for me I have plenty of rechargeable batteries, but it still sucks them dry in a few hours.

My children are very excited by this, and keep coming back to it for a few minutes play. However, it doesn’t sustain their interest for longer play as much as some of the other Hot Wheel sets; partly because, other than watching the cars go round, trying to add more and more cars, there is not much you can do with it. I wish, therefore, it was easier to quickly assemble and dissemble in between the short plays.It feels well made; the instructions are very clear; and the parts fit together well. The roller-boosters really do make the cars whizz round the loops, but they are very noisy. It works best with flatter cars, though part of the fun is testing different cars to see which work best,

This is huge fun! Assembly wasn't too tricky, much like IKEA instructions Hot Wheels make them mostly simple diagram based so a bit of trial and error plus checking the box art art as set up. The included car launches perfectly and zooms around the loops using the motorised power boosters. Excellent. Finding other hot wheels cars to send around the track is loads of fun using the drop in ramp too. There is the dual fun of timing getting multiple cars going at the same time or the often preferred version of timing crashes. Our seven year old is thrilled. Brilliant!Update: it is fun but so very noisy. Longer play can be a bit patience testing. The four D batteries (not included)

My son adores this set, it’s got lots of activity going on, with multiple cars all spinning and looping at once, but oh my goodness, it is noisy when it’s running, so much so that I tend to go off and leave him to it!There is a motor which powers the rollers at the base of the loops, which basically keep the cars whizzing round without loss of momentum.It’s great fun to use, and as I say, there are lots of places to insert extra cars into the action so it’s not just a watch it-do-it-thing-type toy, it’s more interactive. But probably best to use it on a day when they grandparents aren’t coming round or when the baby is having a nap.As always with Hot Wheels, it’s built tough.

Bought this for my 4 year olds Christmas and he loves it. The track was relatively easy to build and didn’t take too long to do so. It is much bigger than I thought (I probably should have read the measurements first)My son loves firing the cars on the track and watching them go round until they crash. Downsides to this however are the very loud noise the motor on the track makes. It drove us mad on Christmas morning as we could barely hear each other for the racket! Sometimes the cars come off the track too easily also and only certain cars seem to stay on it

Christmas present for 6 year old grandson. We bought in conjunction with a Hot Wheels track extension set and our grandson already had a collection of Hot Wheels cars.Additionally 3 size D batteries are needed.Some adult help was needed to assemble.The whole set was a real hit and kept all 3 grandsons 9,7,6 very busy over Christmas. They played for hours.The set is good but we would recommend additional track and cars to extend play, creativity and engineering opportunities,

Bought for grandson for Christmas and he loves it, the disappointment was it only contains one car...... how can you call it a crash set with just one car, what on earth does it crash with, had to buy separate set of hot wheel cars to use on it which worked out really expensive, that was such a let down an doesn’t even state that there’s only one car, an shouldn’t. Really be called a crash track set unless there’s more cars, thankfully my grandson wasn’t disappointed...

This corkscrew crash set is a fun addition to a HotWheels set. It's very big and good value at the current price of £37.50. I would think it over-priced at the original price of £49.99. My three year old son enjoys his hot wheels cars and he enjoys this set. However, Hot Wheels track products are usually an awful lot of bulk and plastic and I am not sure if the enjoyment is commensurate with the environmental cost.

Good fun for the kids and very easy to set up really so dont be daunted when you open the box. The loops are good fun and like all of these they can be linked up to other hot wheels tracks to make them bigger. Only drawback I would say is it needs batteries and those big chunky ones you never have around the house (Or probably have never had since the early 80s) They type your dad had in the torch back in the day.

Lots of track, the floor base area is about 3 feet and lots of track and surprise traps for the speeding driver in the Hot Wheel cars.A car is supplied and the kit will extend to other kits in the range.Unusually this kit requires batteries, namely 4 'D' Cells, better buy alkaline to last.Fun toy set - my brother had one when he was young, many decades ago. It was great fun.
