I have to admit that I can't resist curves, electricity, and getting off the rails. And I like slot cars too, which is why I can't wait to get my hands all over this $65 Carrera Speed Racer slot racing set, a 20.66-foot track full of loops, flyovers and the Mach 5 and Racer X cars with LED lights.

It's worth it for the Racer X car.
Racer X rules.
+ Watch video
Could possibly be more enjoyable than the movie.
and yes, Racer X does rule!
Racer X
I lusted for slot cars as a kid, and my parents would'nt get me one, since I was "girl and girls dont play with cars". I finally got one 7 or 8 years ago and my daughter loved it so much, I lost it to her. I am going to get myseld a NICE one and hide it so I can play with it all by myself. The crashes are the BEST.
when I was a kid, I couldn't wait to get home from school and watch Speed Racer. I still remember that til this day! However, I always wondered why wasn't a Speed Racer race set sold back then? I would have surely had one after begging and pleading my parents to buy me each and every Tyco slot racing set there ever was. Maybe I'll buy this as a collectors item.
p.s.

ok
something wrong with the site Giz?

Will this work with my Lightning McQueen?
@strider_mt2k: How come Racer X, in that attached video, smashes the brake (34 seconds) to accelerate?
This will be the only positive side to the Speed Racer movie (AKA the upcoming two-hour test for epilepsy)
@edosan: Roger that - even the trailers for this steaming POC make the movie look dismal. The bad reviews are already out on the intertubes and the movie isn't in general release.
man, slot cars. that takes me way back. definately do want.
Slots? No R/C?
Do slot cars still smell like burning?
If it wasn't for the fact my boys would murder this set, I'd get it for them. I'd rather spend $20 on a set that'll die in a few days than $70. Wicked cool though.
@strider_mt2k: Couldn't agree more, and I will get this no matter how crappy the track is. Oh, and slot cars rule! They're right up there with pinball machines.
Slotcars are alive and well. Carrera is a solid company building good products.

Sorry double post (now triple) - preview doesn't seem to work.
The cars in this movie are very hot indeed. If the movie only had some intelligent and substance I know I would be counting the seconds until I saw it.
But I had it get a LEGO speed racer set. What can I say? I got a nice Bionicle Makuta Icarax set the same day too.
@bms:
Please submit all questions in writing.
Thank you.
All this makes me think is how tempted I'd be to complain the cars don't give off fake explosions when they fly off, I may only seen one full episode and a few Youtube videos, but I know that's missing!
