Title: And when the car breaks?
Product review: Note that unlike some ordinary slot car systems, nobody sells single cars or accessories. Our experience was that the tiny cars are temperamental. Fluff gets in the cogs. We were able to extract a hair from one axle but the second car failed completely (on day 2). Our options now are either to send the entire complicated package back or hope that a retailer decides to sell cars by themselves, so we can buy a replacement vehicle.The giant 'parking structure' is well designed and assembles nicely. The cars whip through it easily enough except at junctions, where we found it very hard to steer one way or the other. Steering is quite a skill, beyond younger kids for sure. We ended up redesigning the track to not use the junctions.Bottom line: relative to its exciting appearance, X-Trek was disappointing. Two weeks after Christmas, it's in the unused heap.
