Durability:    Educational:    Fun:   
We are very happy with the Scalextric start set we bought for our 5 and 8 year lads for these reasons:
It's is not branded with a team or driver which saves you about £20.
The track can be laid by an eight year old which saves you a lot of trouble.
The handsets have a "skill level control" that allows you to adjusted them so a five year old can keep the car on the track or dad can go mental down the straights but have to slow down at the corners.
The cars seem fairly robust, anyway they still work on the the 29th Dec!

Dissappointed 4 Jan 2011

Durability:    Educational:    Fun:   
We purchased this set for our sons for Christmas and within a few days one of the controllers had stopped working. I note from other reviews that this seems to be a common theme. It is a shame as the track is a lovely size with lots of different layouts and the kids thought it was wicked. However I now find that instead of being able to have a replacement controller I now need to send the entire set back and with no more in stock I have to purchase at a higher price from somewhere else. I had thought that if it was made by hornby that we would be able to get a replacement part. Bit worried after reading the other posts whether it is worth paying extra or whether to opt for a different set.

The track is not scaletrix track and to expand the track you will need an adaptor. The hand controllers are of a poor quality and you will need a new track piece and controllers before too long. The transformer is unique to the start series so a new track piece and adaptor will be needed to expand teh set. All in all, it's just not really scaletrix and in my opinion is an abuse of the name to make you believe you are getting a bargin. Luckily my hand controller is broke, so the whole damn lot can go back and I will buy my son something decent instead.

Don't Buy This One
Don't buy this. It's very cheaply made. There are no crash barriers so the cars fly off the track (suspect they'll break soon). Read more

I buy it, it says it converts so it accepts sport and digital track - but it is the wrong lengths against each
other so you have to buy another little picky bit and on and on... Read more

We bought this set as a present for Xmas. Easy to set up. One car very slightly faster than the other, but not a problem.
