How Insanely-Cool are these?!
By JC on Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2023
These are just awesome. I've been a Hot Wheels fan forever, and I especially love the different track sets. I grew up with the original Sizzlers and as usual, Mattel led the way with toy innovation, even back then. I love standard die cast Hot Wheels cars, but when you have more control over racing, I'm there! I loved the NFC cars - they had so much potential, and they should have evolved the app more, but now they're discontinued, like many sets before it. Another favorite was the 3 lane racing set that actually plugged into the way (no batteries), but that's long gone off the market. Now we have these 1/64 RC cars that are absolutely cool.They are fast as heck, and require some skill to make turns, and spinouts, but that's the beauty - mastering the control. They're easy to charge, and hold up very well to some non-intentional crashes. The BEST thing about these RC cars? They run not only freely on hard floors, but they can race around standard orange track, and even old sizzler wide track if you happen to have any still hanging around. One stick is for forward/back, and the other stick is for turning - plus, you have turning trim buttons for fine tuning.Hitting the boost before a loop is quite satisfying, but better slow down on those tight corners! I hope to see more cars coming in 2023/24? My kids love these! Right after homework, it's right to the RC cars and experimenting with different layouts. The cars come with an entrance (or exit) track so you can go off or on track at your command. Bravo Mattel - more more more! Now my kids are experiencing Gen z Sizzlers, but with actual control!

Cool toy but there is a short or something
By Allison Fochs on Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2024
It is a fun toy for a while but then there is a short or something ( not really sure what) where it goes crazy and starts driving where it wants . I have had my child give me the controller and still goes on while I am holding the controller ( not pushing any buttons) the only remedy is to turn it off. My child has only driven off - track ( like a regular RC car) so I can't say if it happens when you drive on the Hot Wheels track. It works like normal once you wait a little while and turn it back on but it will happen again after using for 5 to 10 minutes. I am pretty sure that there is something wrong with the one I got since it will also decide not to work at points and my child will hand the controller to me and it works again after a moment.
