Does it use brand specific cars or can you use Hot Wheels AND other brands. I'm looking for a pretty basic track set for fun with my grand-daughter.

Terrible set. Do not buy. You can only use the cars that come with the set. I lost a piece for the bottom of the car and this set is useless without them

It uses the specific cars that come with it. The Fast Lane Speedy Racer Slot Car set is flimsy and the cars don't always move, so if kids want to race each other, it's unreliable. Maybe it's ok for a younger child you isn't competitive and just wants to see the cars go around. Then it's not so bad to have to push the car to get it going.

If it is a hot wheels slot car of the same scale and voltage it should work. I couldn't test any other slot cars with this. If you are looking for a matchbox car style track with a friction/gravity style of locomotion this is not what you are looking for. This has a small slot and two electrified rails for each car to pull electricity from which powers a small motor in the car.

Im not 100% sure but you should be able to use other types of cars as long as it has the connection strips on the bottom of the cars.

No, the cars are only about an inch long and they are special made for this track. The wheels are actually medal rollers. A Hot Wheels car would be too big

We bought a set at toys our us and it was a wonderful race set for a 5-6 year old he could drag it around and it did not come apart! Just buy extra cars!!!

We have over 40 cars and most of them do work (most were received when this track was received, but my son had about 10 cars prior to that). Even the cars that say "great for track" will fall off or may not completely go through the loop. The "Triple Track Twister" cars have what looks to be a plastic bottom so it makes them lighter. However, I think the only cars we haven't been able to work on any of the sets we have are the long, heavy cars and for some reason a convertible. Other than that most work well.

Yes but as mentioned the are very small and hard to keep track off. No other cars fit on the track. However, my grandsons loved it but not sure where the cars are at this point. Bought it at Christmas time..

No, the train is specific for the track it comes with. It's a really cool train, though!

Hot Wheels or Matchbox cars should work fine in this- they are a little smaller than the official Cars brand, so there shouldn't be any problems, but I've never tried it.

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!

Yes! All Mindscope tracks can be used interchangeably, or all together for one long track! Be aware that the car that comes with the track uses one AA battery and is a bit slower than the train and/or other vehicles that require two AA batteries. The train is so fast that it often jumps off the track. Still, the kids totally loved putting them all together to chase each other around the track. Enjoy!

It is the same track all the lego trains use. There are track packs here on amazon and at lego.com.

No - the track is specific to the cars that come with it. They have to be a certain weight to work best

I believe all the hot wheels tracks and accessories are interchangeable. Although this particular track is meant to use on it's own.There is a car launcher at one end of the track and the other end of the loops shoots the car out into the air, providing that you can make the car through the loops in the first place!This was a Christmas present for my five-year-old grandson and he hasn't played with it since because the cars never make it through the loops.

This playset use hot wheel cars but not all models work properly. When I gave my son the playset, he already had more than 20 hot wheels cars and most of them ran without problem.

This works with the trackmaster trains which are bigger, plastic, and motorized. I think the die cast ones you are referring to are the take and play trains (smaller than the original wooden ones). A fun track but easily becomes off balance. If your child is young and doesn't have a lot of patience it will be frustrating. Once you get it lined up right it works great until something bumps it and knocks it off balance.

There are three types of tracks available in the Thomas range. We have specifically bought the Take n Play range so I do not know if they are interchangeable. Sorry.

The track only fits standard Hot Wheels cars. Lightning McQueen would not fit. Sorry!

Yes the track does work with most trains, but will not work with any of the take-n-play size cars
