Do these cars have to have the track to run or can you just play without tracks?

They run fine on hard surface, not so well on carpet. My grandsons run them over about anything, buy extra batteries, they tend to leave them on sometimes.

These trucks are battery operated so they run where ever you place them...You can use them with or without a track but you'll probably want to move any obstructions from there path, otherwise you will have to keep on top of them to move them when they run into stuff or get stuck..Note: You want to keep the rear tires and axle clean from hair or anything that can wrap around them, cause it will build up and eventually cause the wheels to not spin, so if you use without a track best to use on clean surface Ex: Tile floors or short carpet.. Hope this helps...

You can play with these off or on the tracks. Run with batteries and will go go go!

The cars can move on the hardwood floor, but I honest do not recommend them. The ones we got (with a set of tracks and two extras purchased separately) go way too fast, on the track and off. That may sound like fun, but it's not as fun as you'd think as they zoom off too fast to enjoy and get stuck under things, hit walls, etc. We call them "jailbreak" and they make my son laugh, but they get too crazy to really enjoy as we had intended.

The individual cars do not come with the track... we already have a large track setup and just wanted some extra cars...

Yes, my son have them and he plays with them in the Race Track. It can get cloghed sometimes, but i dont think it depends on the cars but on the race track itself! cheers!

Go back on Amazon and you will find that there is a track set. We bought one so that our grandson would have extra track. It works out great.

Any hotwheel will go on the track but to keep them going and going you need lighter longer cars. I think some five pack expressly say track on them. But 5 packs like the farrari five pack or exotic five pack should work well.

I never used the old slot cars, however these cars are very good at staying on the track.We have three long-haired cats in the house and their fur does build up on the cars' tires which will eventually lead to cars going off-track. I don't see it as a problem, since it is infrequent if you use the provided tire cleaner, and periodically wipe the track down with a damp cloth. The tire cleaning is a matter of seconds of running the car back and forth across its sticky surface.

You do not need the steering wheel at all to play. You can use the Wii mote by itself, or the wii more + chuck combination

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

Yes you can race the cars from the top. Putting this together is a project so I wouldn't take it apart often!

Yes you can add track we have a train store in town and the owner said that you need to stay with the same manufacturer. Also since the engine is the same as the passenger set you can just buy 1 passenger car separately and have two adventures in one

Most cars work on the track. there are some exceptions. Cars (trucks) that are tall tend to not work. The lower the top of the car, the faster it tends to run.

U can , but the little one will have to Push it around. I liked it but the cars are neat and u canals The track a lot of different ways.

This would make a good size race track all by itself. It does not come with any of the battery operated racecars like the other sets do. You can buy the racecars separate, but MAKE SURE THEY ARE BATTERY OPERATED, not pull back cars. The package usually says "motorized" but sometimes is a pullback car that won't really work with this set. The other difference between the other track sets and this one is that the other track sets will have obstacles like other Mario characters such as Goombas, Ghosts, Lava Plumes, or other things that can bop the car as it goes by, kind of like on the Wii game.

The track comes mostly assembled - it just snaps together, and unsnaps and it can be rolled up for storage.The cars are assembled and only need batteries. A three year old may be able to assemble it, but may need some help. But someone that age can definitely operate it.

The cars and tracks are modular so yes. The only thing is the engine has limited power.

They are compatible with older tracks and also run off electrical just like the old ones. These were a lot of fun for my little one and for me to take them back to what we use to play with.

You have to move it yourself. My grandson loves these, each one make different sounds and they all work on the different track sets..
