The Zacro slot car race track set is a two-lane racing kit with two cars, two hand-shake controllers and two plug-in speed controllers. Its unusual feature is a dual mode: cars run off wall power with trigger controllers, or off the hand-shake generators with no outlet needed. The track pieces snap into straights, curves and a loop, so layouts can be rebuilt. It is aimed at young children from age 3, and its 3.2 rating suggests owners find the idea fun but the execution uneven.

Ratings are middling. Owners like the two-mode idea and the included second car, but several report weak or unreliable running and tracks that come apart during play.
This slot car race track set includes straight, curved, circular and two-lane track pieces, along with 2 high-speed cars, 2 hand-shake controllers, 2 electric speed controllers and some accessories. Kids can build the track together with an adult.
The cars run in two modes. In electric mode, the set is plugged in and the car's speed is controlled by pressing the controller. In hand-shake mode, no power connection is needed, and shaking the hand-shake controller quickly moves the car. Each mode has its own motherboard, and the controller lets the driver choose a slower or faster speed.
The set is made of durable materials. The minimum recommended age is 3 years.
