The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Hollywood High-Speed Thrills in Your Living Room! Get ready to experience the adrenaline of the Fast & Furious franchise right in your own home! The team at Hobby Hideaway absolutely loves the new Scalextric Hot Laps series because it combines classic 1/32 scale slot car racing with modern arcade-style app integration. You can finally settle the score and race head-to-head with Dom Toretto's iconic Dodge Charger and Brian O'Conner's legendary Toyota Supra. With over 16 feet of track and nine different layout options, this set delivers endless high-octane competition for both hardcore movie fans and racing enthusiasts.
Interactive Hot Laps App Integration What makes this set truly special is the interactive "Hot Laps" app. You don't need any expensive digital hardware to get started! Simply download the free app, place your smartphone or tablet on the included race gantry, and the camera uses motion detection to count your laps as the cars zoom underneath. It adds an awesome arcade element with checkpoints and movie sound effects. Plus, the included hand controllers feature adjustable power limiters, allowing you to dial back the speed so younger racers can keep the cars on the track.
Key Features & Technical Specs:
Iconic Movie Cars: Includes highly detailed 1/32 scale replicas of Dom's Dodge Charger and Brian's Toyota Supra with working front and rear lights.
Hot Laps App: Compatible with smart devices to provide motion-detecting lap counting and arcade-style racing modes.
Massive Track Layout: Features 5.32 meters (over 16 feet) of flexible track with up to 9 different track configuration options.
Speed Limiting Controllers: Hand controllers include a built-in power limiter to help beginners learn the track without crashing.
Magnatraction System: Both cars are equipped with magnets on the chassis to increase downforce and high-speed cornering grip.
Digital Plug Ready (DPR): The analog cars can be easily upgraded to digital chips (sold separately) for multi-car digital racing in the future!
Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: "It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning's winning!" But to make sure you actually finish the race, take advantage of the adjustable speed limiters on the hand controllers! When you first set up the track, dial the power down to about 50% or 75%. The Dodge Charger and Toyota Supra are incredibly fast, and learning the braking points for the tight corners at full speed will usually result in the cars flying off the track. Dialing the power back helps you find your rhythm before you unleash full throttle!
