Asianhobbycrafts Anki OVERDRIVE Accessory Rails Kit

OK You need these. Trust me! Pros: Ignoring trying to keep a small space for storage, I like how these snap on to the individual pieces and can STAY on these pieces even if you are reconfiguring the track. I thought I was going to need to do rails every track change. If you want to take them off for storage you can and at the beginning of your playing day put them on and you are good. It keeps you from having to run every 15 seconds to replace another car that has gone off the track. Without the rails, the cars can stay on the track for racing (but even then sometimes they go off) but for other modes, once they start shooting each other or colliding, they will go off track. It's fun but gets tiring. My plan is to keep every single piece with rails on so I can enjoy playing. Cons: Price. You can see they are well made but why not have bigger rails kits saving the expense of the box, cover and bags. It takes FOUR straight rails to secure one straight piece fully. So one of these kits fully covers 2 curved pieces and 1 straight piece. Imagine securing a collision kit. I would just like bigger kit options with the discount passed to us. You know these pieces probably cost 5-10 cents each to make and they sell them at $1 each. Then it takes $4 to cover 1 straight piece and $3 to cover a curved piece. My final thought is that I like them on all pieces. You might think you don't need them for straight pieces ...until you get shot, disabled and start spinning off the track.

Quick Review: This expansion kit adds rails to help you keep your cars on the track...as you upgrade them, they will become faster and have boost options. Other vehicles like the big rigs have a 'rage' feature which disables and shoots cars right off the track. You then have to go get your vehicle and place it back on the track which becomes a bit of a pain after a while. Comes with 4 outside corner rails, 2 inside rails, and 4 straight pieces...we bought a few of these kits now and they are assisting out big time to help keep the cars where they should be! A must have accessory kit for your Anki Overdrive Starter Kit! Highly Recommend these rails!

These rails are made with plastic holders which have a gap too wide to hold on to the track, even when the track is flat on the floor. If they were able to be clipped, then they would be great, but they will need either some melting and remodelling or some cardboard etc glued to the holders so that they can stick to the track. Pretty useless when the cars stay on the track longer than the rails themselves!

Once you get them on right, took a minute to figure it out. They work great, but, for the most part they're not needed, these cars stay on track better than the old slot style tracks. Anki is great.

Ordered to enhance anki overdrive, Just the job, Makes sure the vehicles stay on the track.
