Wall Tracks Review and Video

This here is the Hot Wheels Wall Tracks. As you can see the template is set
up. Here is the top, and here is the bottom. It says flush with the floor.
I’m actually going to make this a little bit higher because I have a little
one below the age of four, and I also might expand on the track as well.

First, you have the brackets that you have to put on. Each bracket is
labeled on the back side. On the back side of these brackets, this little
piece back here comes off. You can actually see the letter A. I’ll show you
in a different clip here. You’re looking at the Hot Wheels Wall Tracks.
This is the top portion of the template that goes on the wall. You tape it
just with some masking tape. Then the bottom portion actually aligns with
the floor. You can see it says flush with floor. Because I have a little on
in the house, I actually made it a little higher, plus I want to add to the
track if possible. We’ll see if that’s possible later.

Here you have bracket A. You know it’s bracket A, because if you take off
this back piece, it says the letter A. Then also on this side is B. Then it
just goes side to side C, D, E, F. Once you have all those up, the
following steps will fairly easy. You just connect the track.

One more thing to note is that you want to hold down and push on these for
at least 30 seconds so the adhesive sticks. You want to do that until you
count to about 30. Then just do the same thing with the remaining B, C, D,
E, and F brackets.

As you can see, the instructions are pretty clear. The next step is to
remove the template and we’ll do that right now.

Now before we move on to assembling the whole track together on the wall,
we need to, as it says here in step five, assemble track pieces. Here are
the track pieces that we have to assemble. It’s fairly easy. It only takes
a few minutes, and we’re going to put those together right now. Then we’ll
move on to step six, which actually goes through and shows how the wall
tracks go on to the wall as you can see here.

So this is how the pre-assembled pieces should look. It took a little
effort getting the yellow pieces on, but once you get the hang of it, it
goes real fast. Then it connects to the gray loop. What nice about this is
that this is the right side and this one is the left. Now not only are they
marked left and right on the back, on the bottom here, but the size, which
is this piece that it goes into, the right is actually larger so it only
can go into this piece. Whereas on the left, this one is a little bit
smaller, so it can only go into that track as well. On this side, these are
just easy installation of the breakaway.

This is bracket A. When installing this little gray piece, it just slides
right in. There’s no trick to it. As you can see, I can slide it right out,
and it just slides right back in.

This is the next piece, still on bracket A. This is the next piece right
here, this long piece that actually connects from A to B. What you see on
the bottom here is how it connects with this cross-hair. What you do is you
just snap it right in, and as you can it automatically fits pretty well
into B. As long as you have everything lined up properly, it actually just
fell right into place, right into B. The template works really well.

Then we’ll move on. This is how it looks so far. Let me just adjust that
for you.

Here’s the next piece. Again, it’s the little cross-hairs right up here.
You just drop it in. You can see it on the bottom there. Just drop that
right in. Then it goes around. That actually fell out, which is
interesting. We’ll actually try to fix that right now and show you what can
be done if that happens. So you have this piece right here. As you can see,
you can see the cross sections, the arrow showing you which direction it
should be going in. You just clip that right back in. I’m going to show it
to you again because it’s just a little clip. It’s not a big issue. You
just angle it and then clip it back in. Then you just bring this piece in.
I’m trying to do this one-handed. There we go. That’s the section that we
have right now.

Once again, this is the next piece. It’s the circular ramp. What happens is
you just drop them again into the cross-hairs. They call them cross-hairs,
but they’re just little pieces that are criss-crossed. Let’s see if I can
do this one-handed. What I’ll do is I’ll put this piece in, but just show
you this side. So again, if you do the template right, it just should drop
right in. It was fairly easy to just place right in.

So here we are, we’re moving to this left ramp that we have here. We’re
just going to line it up and drop it right in. As you can see right here,
it just lines right up and snaps right in. This is what we have so far.
Once you have that template up, it’s actually pretty easy to just piece it
all together and bring it all together all at once. If you take the time on
the initial stages, it works really well.

l mentioned this in the beginning, but remember, you need a three foot by
three foot section for the track. So keep that in mind when spacing it out.
The nice piece about this is if you do mess up, you can always replace the
tabs on the back, which are these little tabs, which you can probably find
at any hardware store or retailer, like Target or Walmart and just replace
them and you can start your track all over again in a different place. I
like the mobility of that and being able to have the diversity of moving it
in multiple locations.

Let’s finish up this last piece. So now we’re on this last section, again
with this bottom piece going right into this little cross section here.
Give me a second. I’m just trying to do this with one hand. There we go. As
you can see, it just lines right up. These are supposed to do that. They
just come right down.

The last section is the launch ramps which we’re going to put on. There is
this one piece that I did forget to add on to this left section. Like this
initial piece, it just slides right into the blue section here. Then you
just slide it right in. There’s no end piece to it. So it will just launch
right off.

After this, you have the launch that comes off of this piece, which is
another slide piece just like the initial gray piece we started with right
there. It’s actually this piece right here. This again just slides right
in. Sorry about the shakiness, I’m just trying to do this with one hand to
give an example. It’s normally not this difficult. It’s easier when you
have two hands and you’re focusing on it a little bit more. There we go.
That’s the end of that piece.

Now the big piece that we finish with are these two orange slats that just
go on the end of this piece here. We’re going to do that right now.

Now as you see here, with the two orange slats, this ramp right here, they
connect to make a longer piece by this section. You need to slide it on the
back side like this. There’s a little piece that actually should line up
and lock it in. This piece looks like so. That the way it should lock right
it, and then here’s how it looks on the back.

So here’s our wall tracks put together. We started with the initial
bracket. Again, you need three feet by three feet when lining this up.
Here’s section A. This is the right ramp, the loop, the left ramp, I think
it’s called the breakaway. Then you have the remaining pieces that come off
right here. Again, I did this a little higher than you would normally do
it. You normally would put it right to the floor. But in my case, I put it
up a little bit higher because I have a younger child in the house. I just
ramped it to this little table right here.

Here’s what the Hot Wheels Wall Tracks looks like on the Idea Paint wall
that I have in the house. As you can see, I added some dry erase drawings
to it just to give it a little bit more character. That’s it. Definitely
give it a try. If you don’t have a dry erase wall like this, look up Idea
