Carrera Slot Cars

I have never played with slot cars and understood the hype until I checked out the MarioKart GO! Carrera-Revell of America playset! They are the leading producer of slot car racing sets and their toys are sold on Amazon as well as their own website. The technology of slot cars requires 4 D batteries.  We took some time to assemble the track and place the banners along the side. It was very exciting to see it come to life as we followed the easy instructions to get it built. It was way bigger than I thought it would be and the speed made it thrilling and fun for Niko! He will be 6 in just a few weeks so this was definitely a huge upgrade from his Hotwheel tracks. First, we learned to control the speed of the cars, then we place the ramps and made the cars jump!

We loved how detailed the cars look and since we just rewatched the Super Mario movie last week, it was so much fun!  Even though it was a school night, we were way too excited to receive this in the mail and built it. Once we finished building it we realized our D batteries were not working and went to the store in my pajamas to buy some. We got Energizer batteries over the generic store brand to give it the maximum oomph and power. Niko was so excited and loved this toy so much that he woke up early to play again before school started.  If you are looking for a gift for the holidays that is fun for the entire family, add it to your Amazon wish list!
