What Makes the Hot Wheels Triple Track Twister Track Set a Worthwhile Purchase?
This triple track set is compatible with all Hot Wheels 1:64 scale cars made since Mattel launched the toys in 1968, although older cars may not work perfectly. In 2013 Hot Wheels released an additional 250 cars, and they will all work effectively on this track set. This set requires 4 D batteries, which are not included, comes with one random vehicle, and it does require some assembly. Parents may have to help younger children assemble the course, but older preteens and teens will have no problem.
Hot Wheels makes additional cars specifically designed for the Triple Track Twister Track Set, and the two special power booster controllers speed up the cars considerably. The entire three track set has trapdoors, loops and tight turns, and all loops merge onto the crash zone.
This is a must-have for Mattel Hot Wheels collectors, and if your boys have access to an iPad, they can race their cars through five different virtual worlds - Team Hot Wheels, Shark Park, Farm, Dinosaur, and Robot Battle. A free downloadable Hot Wheels Powerport app is available for iPad owners, and there is a special attachment provided with this three track set where you can attach an iPad for game play.
Stunting, smashing and crashing are always popular with young boys, and the Hot Wheels Triple Track Twister Track Set provides extra interactive capabilities with its iPad compatibility. When adding the batteries you will need a Phillips head screwdriver, and the motorized track set up takes anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes to build.
Parents will enjoy that there is minimal assembly and that the 4D batteries last seemingly forever, but should be prepared that this is a loud toy. The boosting capabilities make the cars go much faster than typical motorized Hot Wheels sets, and this is a big draw for young boys. The Hot Wheels Triple Track Twister Track Set is a definite must for Hot Wheels aficionados, and with iPad access and the boosting features, will definitely be a hit with your young car lovers.
