Super fun track
on October 23, 2024
Posted by: jesmith78
from Wedowee, Alabama
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hot Wheels 4- Loop Crash-Out is a really nice track. It is big (4 loops) but since it is tall, it doesn't take up too much floor space. It folds up easily to store it or move to a different location to play with it. It can easily connect to other hot wheels tracks to add to the fun and it also can be used with other cars.
Now for the cons: Really there is only 1......the batteries. It takes 4 "D" batteries. The first time playing with it I put some brand new brand name batteries in it and got about 20 minutes continuous playtime before we noticed it slowing down a bit. I folded it up and put it away until the next day. Sadly I have no video from day 1 but we were getting almost non-stop loop de loops with only the occasional "accident". That was the last time we got that from the track. What this video shows is what we are dealing with ever since folding it up and unfolding it. The car just doesn't go all the way through. We have tried 2 different sets of batteries of different brands with no change in results. We have looked the track over numerous times to make sure nothing came apart and we cannot find the reason for the sudden change in performance. We have found that if we prop up the support feet under the loops, it will work better but obviously that is not the intended setup of the track.
Overall, the track is really fun and the replay ability is definitely there so we will continue to play with it and I do recommend it. Just wish there was a way to adjust the positioning of the supports. Also, I really hope that Hot Wheels will consider making rechargeable set in the future.

Disappointed
on October 23, 2024
Posted by: JLI17
from Salisbury, MD
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 7 year old was able to set the track up mostly own his own. It requires 4 D batteries so be prepared. It is very challenging to get the car to make it all the way through the track and it definitely won’t make it through another lap. It is cool that it folds up but it is rather large still.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Outstanding Hot Wheels set
on October 24, 2024
Posted by: AlineZ
from San Antonio, TX
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Hot Wheels action set is huge! My kids loved it so much, they play with it for hours. It took us a bit to put together, but it was easy when following the instructions. You will need 4 D batteries to push the cars through the entire circuit. Did I say it is super fun?! :) There is a possibility to fold it, so it doesn't take too much space to store it. My son loves to play with his cars, and this set every day after school. He has much more fun than with other sets he had before. He recommends it!

3 Loop Track
on October 25, 2024
Posted by: Nikki
from Leopold, MO
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To start there were a lot of pieces for this track. Assembling it was fairly easy but some of the directions were confusing. Once it’s assembled and batteries are installed it’s actually pretty cool. Initially the car doesn’t make it through all the loops. It takes a couple tries before it gets in a pattern of going through all the loops. It’ll only make it maybe 5 times at most before it falls short again though. Only certain hot wheels cars make it all the way too. My son loves that he can connect it to his other tracks though.

Only 1 car works
on October 25, 2024
Posted by: CorzaR76
from Adelaide, Australia
Seriously Mattel, 1 car? Out of all our cars the one supplied is the only one that works. I went and bought more (low profile sports cars) none work. Not even half way round. Please put an actual list out of which cars ACTUALLY work with this track. The vague response "low profile cars should work" is pathetic. If I buy a hotwheels track, I expect hotwheels cars to work. Not 1 out of every 100.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

HOTWHEELS NEVER MISS!
on October 26, 2024

from Wilmington, DE
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 4 loop hot wheels is definitely a hit in our house. My 5 year old loves all things hot wheels. So when he opened this he was super excited. It kept him occupied for hours and the best part is you can add tracks for more fun.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Get Ready for Excitement!!
on October 26, 2024

from Pleasant Plains, IL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Get ready for some excitement with the Hot Wheels 4-Loop Crash Out! This thrilling set is easy to set up and stands at a perfect height of 26.7 inches, making it ideal for kids ages 5 and up. With its bright and inviting color scheme, the set provides a vibrant but not overstimulating experience, ensuring hours of fun.
The set features an introductory track that allows for creative expansions, the flexible and durable loops are designed to hold their shape and can handle all the action. Once set up, the four loops are robust and secure, providing a reliable play experience.
Keep in mind, the set does require four D batteries (not included), and there's a handy on/off switch located conveniently next to the battery compartment.
However, there are a couple of things to consider. The volume can get quite loud when the set is activated, and you won't be able to adjust it. Additionally, placing it on a level surface is crucial for optimal performance; otherwise, it may struggle to push cars through the loops effectively. Lastly, the size of the vehicles plays a significant role; I found that not all compatible cars make it past the first loop.
In summary, my son absolutely loves this set and can play with it for hours! It’s engaging and perfect for playdates, allowing multiple kids to dive into the fun and build excitement together!

Great idea but several changes need to be made
on October 26, 2024
Posted by: StatGapRN
from Gap,pa
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My sons first words when he saw this track put together were “This is awesome!”. Initially it took several tries and multiple adjustments to get the car to complete the loops. The car would fly up through the first loop, go up halfway on the second and then fall. While having difficulties with the car provided, we did attempt to try other Hot Wheels brand cars and experienced the same issue of not completing the circuit. This made this particular toy seem as though it was a total dud but then after some adjustments the car began completing the circuit.
A few positive characteristics were the track colors. They were nice and bright and made the set look fun. The lettering on the tracks were a huge help in the assembly process and even made it so that the instructions weren’t even needed.
Some improvement suggestions would be to make the set so that it could be taken apart and folded for storage. The toy pieces lock into place and are unable to be taken apart. While this helps to keep it together and complete, it makes it so that finding a place to store this toy is impossible. The only way to possibly get the pieces apart is by using tools which could possibly break it.
The thrill of the toy seems to have worn out after a couple of times playing with it so that leaves a large toy that can’t be folded sitting around. The concept of this toy is great however the execution in the production of this toy could be improved making it more desirable for both children and parents.
