I got my son a Scalectrix setup (from Dave Shepard of GPR...RIP) when he was much too young in hindsight - he was able to drive it reasonably well though as I rigged a 'throttle stop' on one of the controllers. Nonetheless many of our cars sustained damage...

The thing that still bugs me about these kits, as I remember from when I was a kid, is keeping the damn connectors and tracks clean, level, and carrying power reliably. What a PITA. Maybe the digital flavor or the Carrera brand is better?
