Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Okay, I read these reviews last year and felt better about not purchasing it. Well this year I saw it and decide that after 4 years I would get it. I purchased the base set and three other cars. There was a note about the max number of cars being 6 so I lucked out I guess. As of tonight I am happy with it but I was ready to throw it through the window a few times.
1) The tracks. The directions don't really tell you how hard to push the tracks together for a correct connection. I takes a fair bit for force but they do connect solidly. My track is on cut pile carpet and I have no problems. At first I thought I was going to break it.
2) I read the directions about hooking the power clip to the track and being sure not to select a piece of track that has a cut out. Well my first try I put it on a cut out. After 20 minutes I check again and moved it. Tada power. Previously it was very random. Check with a flash light if you aren't in a well lit area.
3) Electrical connections between the cars. I have read the complaints and up to an hour ago I agreed. The trick is to slide one finger up behind the connector (for support) on the back of the car being connected to and then take the plug and push it very firmly into the socket with your other hand. (I mean firmly) The connectors will seat and hold just fine. The white plastic portion of the plug should not be able to be seen. Now I have no issues and all cars are lit up just fine.
I hope this helps anyone else that decides to purchase this.
