Are these pull-back cars? ... meaning, when I slide them backwards, do they zoom forward? Are "Hot Wheels" cars pull-back-enabled in general?

No these are standard Hot Wheels so they do not have that feature. most hot wheels do not to my knowledge

Hi Case, I believe they are just the general basic cars with no extra features such as you described with pull-back, sorry.Hope this helps, thanks!

Not really, in the precise sense of the meaning of "work" - the lanes are a bit narrow for those cars. They'll go down the ramps and around the curves, but they'll tend to fall off rather than make it all the way to the bottom, as they're quite heavy and a bit too wide for the lanes. Standard gauge Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars are really what "work" best. All that said, my kids have never been troubled by the fact that the Cars and Cars 2 cars won't make it all the way down - they put all of the various cars up and down the garage, even those much bigger than the Disney ones. There's not much comparable out there, and the gauge issue isn't critical/fatal, so I'd recommend going ahead with this - ours is still going strong.

Yes, these cars have a pretty strong magnets. They will stay on the track. This set comes with a tri-powerpack, for beginners on up. Enjoy your set!!!!

Kim: this is not remote control, they run on a track that has a grove in it for each car and the speed is controlled by hand units shaped like a pistol with triggers. Your boys will have allot of fun with many hours of us.

Not all hot wheels will work, but most will. Some trucks will, but some are to tall and to wide. Some of the cars will not work either. I know the Porsche 911GT3 will not work, the fenders are too wide to fit through the booster. It is all trial and error. But you honestly will not be dissapointed.

You can put two FP cars side by side . There is a raised groove down the middle that keeps the cars in line. At the top, there is a piece they can flip up that propels the cars and causes a revving sound to be played. We have had this since July and both my 2 yo and almost 4 yo play with it daily.

Nope, these cars are way bigger. I just got them and Im planing to return them cause they dont work in Fisher-Price Disney/Pixar Cars 2 Spiral Speedway Grand Prix. Had the same problem, so, I guess you have to buy the whole thing again, which I wont

Yes, the cars, with the exception of the wide one, will run on the Hot Wheels track. The wide vehicle has a tendency to slow down when it gets into the curves due to its size. The sleek, thin built car, really fly! Really Fly!

These are Fisher Price. What do you mean by FP? These are Little People cars. The figures do not come out of the car. They are designed to work with the following products: Little People® Wheelies™ Stand 'n Play™ Rampway, Little People® Wheelies™ Loops 'n Swoops Amusement Park™, Little People® Wheelies™ Garage...not that these are all of the compatible toys. But, I think if it is a Fisher Price Little People item, these would go with it nicely.

Did you ever find an answer to this?? Have you bought one? I was looking to buy the new one and have gotten two OLD ones (one from amazon, one from barnes and noble). I was going to return both in my quest for the new one but upon reading reviews... it seems the old one will accomadate matchbox cars better... but the elevator is more prone to break. I like the overall look of the new one - but I don't like that the elevator is smaller. I really don't like the idea that matchbox cars might not fit. I am going to call plan toys today and see if they can tell me. All I know is this was supposed to be the BIG christmas gift for my twins this year and now it's 2 days before Christmas and I have run into a problem I didn't expect to have.

Hello there, to answer your question: We thought this was an RC truck and it was only a die cast oversized hot wheel. We sent it back to get our money back because my son wanted an RC truck, not one to sit on his shelf. I hope this helps.

Unfortunately they are all gone. I'm in the same boat. I called Fisher price not too long ago and they told me they no longer make them and are all out. The only thing they had left was the charger for purchase :( Now I saw a regular Fisher Price Shake'n go race track at TRUs and those cars looked like the same size as the extreme cars. I just don't know if they have the same power to get through the loops. Any other Shake 'n go cars sold separately are going to be too big for the track. Good luck!

yes 2 speed controllers and two cars. each controller has a side. yes cars are controlled individually. I would suggest buying an extra set of straight tracks (or two) for around $10 each, the track is small and the cars do go fast.

One comes with the toy and is good. My boys have used most of their Hot Wheels cars on the toy and some work better than other. It is simply trial and error in that regard. Hope that helps you.

No, they don't fly off the track like the old days. They follow the grid inside the driving mat with precision. This is actually an amazing invention - it does exactly what it claims to do. My son and his dad both love this product and have purchased additional cars for it.

Yes it will go reverseThe control is a foot pedal with a steering wheel. The steering wheel has buttons on it for music and different sound effects. It also will move with control input from a controller like a Toy RC car or a video game type controller, that part is why I would have bought it alone and not just for my godson lol You will have more fun driving it around with them in it. Also if they are getting crazy or you need them to come back to you, you can drive them back. The lights turn on when it moves. Hope this helped!

My son is three and loves racing his cars on this track. Every new car goes on it immediately. So, I would ask "Does your child like to run his own races?" "Does your child like watching the loser get flung off the track?" I would potentially get this as a gift for an 8 year old, if they like Hot Wheels/ Matchbox cars. Race Grooves does Hot Wheels videos and here is his video review of this toy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GocrGNRqfeg - I am not related to Race Grooves - merely a fan of his Hot Wheels Youtube videos as is my 3 year old - Also, it hooks up with standard orange tracks so we added some pieces for a longer run for the winner as well as we built a Megablock tunnel for the winner to run through My son is three and loves racing his cars on this track.
