Magic Tracks Turbo RC Race Set

Whether on TV or at a store, you’ve probably come across Magic Tracks before.  My son certainly has, because he’s been begging to get it for a long while now.  Given his love of cars, this is not surprising, but when you add some neon colors and lights to the scenario, it’s obvious to me why he finds the idea irresistible.  Behold the Magic Tracks Turbo RC Race Set.

As you can guess by its descriptive name, the magical aspect of this set is all in the tracks.  The pieces easily snap together to form a flexible racetrack that bends and glows!

They call this flexibility “Serpentine Technology”, and it allows you to create a racetrack in just about any configuration you can imagine.  The tracks are so easy to snap and unsnap, that you can even change up the course at the same time you’re using it.

While the tracks are pretty cool, they wouldn’t be much use without an equally cool car, now would they?

Six LED lights make your car glow day or night, and realistic sound effects add some extra excitement to your races.  Use the remote to send your car zipping around the track, shift into reverse, honk the horn, or flash your lights.  There is a stop button too of course, but it’s so much more fun to hit that Turbo button and blaze past your fellow racers.  Dim the lights for a glimpse at their Glow Trail Technology—the lights on the car charge the track to create glow trails that look like magic!

A couple accessories are included to add some variety to your setup, like the jump ramp and the crash x-track.

Don’t limit your creations to what comes in the box.  Almost anything you have around the house can be incorporated.  Remember, the tracks are super flexible precisely so you can design innovative courses.

Okay, maybe this isn’t the most innovative idea ever, but it’s still a whole lot of fun!  Coming up with their own ways to customize their racetracks is great exercise for the kids’ imaginations, and they really enjoy designing as much as racing.  They can do something new every time or repeat successful courses.  When their all done, you can roll up the tracks for easy storage, but we just disassemble everything and put it back in the box.  Building the track is half the fun anyway!

Each Magic Tracks Turbo RC set includes 10 ft/200 pieces of Glow Track, 1 LED Light-Up Race Car, 1 Multi-Function Remote Control (Batteries Not Included), 1 Jump Ramp, 1 Crash X-Track, 1 Sheet of Peel N’ Stick Car Decals, and 1 Instruction Guide.  Find it at Walmart, Target, Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, Kroger, and BuyTurboRC.com.  Check out Amazon for other Magic Tracks sets.
