Sets range from $100 to $215, not so much because of more track, but for better cars and more accessories.
Controllers are chintzy, as with most sets. Power is inadequate, as with most sets. Cars are great runners, probably the best available today. Less expensive set cars have less detail and are more robust than the more expensive set cars. The two USA sets combine to create a 4 lane Watkin's Glen or a larger, more varied two lane track. Combining the two sets will also net you 4 cars and 2 power supplies.
Track is good for 1:32 scale with 3 inch lanes. Fender to fender, or wheel to wheel, racing is quite exciting. Magnetic attraction is strong on Classic, slightly less on Sport. Classic is grainy and Sport is smooth. The track is flexible up to the limit of the rails bending. Rail connections can be problematic, but the rails are easily reshaped to ensure good connections.
Cars are among the best RTR cars available today. Perfect for beginners.
Overall Track is pretty tough but the rails can be destroyed. A nice footprint for 1:32 with the tightest curves available as well as big #4 curves for some high speed cornering. Banked turns now available in #2 and #3 bends. My friends look forward to "those tight turns."
Two different borders available in the USA, sandtraps with curbs or a flat black border. Curbs and guardrails available for straights and #2 outers/#3 inners.
Plug-in power taps available for larger layouts.
Electronic 0.10 second lap timer / counter available. RMS brings accuracy to 1/100, digital to 1/1000 with optical sensors.
