Do these stay on track or do they fly off easily at every bend like the old slot cars used to?

They do fly off every now and again. Most of the time it's because of collisions with other cars (also highly entertaining) Impressively they can usually find their way back. Given the speeds they travel it's really quite impressive that they keep course.

No, they don't fly off the track like the old days. They follow the grid inside the driving mat with precision. This is actually an amazing invention - it does exactly what it claims to do. My son and his dad both love this product and have purchased additional cars for it.

they stay on the track well unless the wheels or the track get lint or dusty. otherwise, the cars make remarkably tight turns. very impressive.

Sometimes, usually an indication your car's tires need cleaned (with the included tire cleaner pad), or the track needs dusted off (I use a swiffer duster).

They really do stay on the track! We only had them knocked off when another car slammed into them. I'd say it happened once every 6 races or so, but not without some 'accidental' shoving.

My children keep control & they stay on, at times they have flown off by it is not usual.

I never used the old slot cars, however these cars are very good at staying on the track.We have three long-haired cats in the house and their fur does build up on the cars' tires which will eventually lead to cars going off-track. I don't see it as a problem, since it is infrequent if you use the provided tire cleaner, and periodically wipe the track down with a damp cloth. The tire cleaning is a matter of seconds of running the car back and forth across its sticky surface.

They are easy on and off. Though I leave them on just because they are out of the way folded and you have the option of using them on a ride.

They hold the die-cast metal small ones (which are the ones i purchased for my son). Yes they will run on the track but it is not battery operated.

Negative... But they are durable. I sprayed ours with some of that easy seal spray you see on TV to get a little better traction... Both my kids LOVE these karts! Also I weigh 200 lbs and race my kids in them so when I say durable I mean these things are durable!!

Absolutely, they will right them selves when you throttle up. You want them loose, they brake far less because the are free floating to some degree. If your going to crash throttle all the down quick just another trick from experience.

They work great on Saturn's & Hyundai. They do not fall off & nobody steals them

No--they are holding up great. Very heavy pieces, don't bend--loving them. Should last a lifetime if you don't lose them.

I used mine to replace old ones on a GEM car.. They went rite on where the old ones were. I really like them.

Patiance,my quad is not here at the moment so I can not check it for a definitive answer to your question. That said, I've never noticed any extreme sliding on the bar because they are a tight fit. I weigh 250, use them all the time to assist my entrance an exit from the seats. They stay put when I Pull on them. Never noticed any sliding that that messed me up. Vibration from rough trails don't move them either. How this helps.

They roll very easy on our floors...we have been happy with the purchase...No marks and have held up well. Ours are a year old. I would recommend.

As long as you set them off in the right conditions with no wind they will slowly drift upward. If there is a strong little wind they will float away pretty fast

nah, they tend to skip and hop when I try to slide with them. You CAN slide with them, in fact I learned how to slide with them. They're just not great for it. They're great cruising wheels, they're big and soft and they keep momentum well.

Yes they will still work. I believe it will shift minimally, but no more than the passengers does as it doesn't have pegs to hold it in place. They honestly work great and would highly recommend.

No - the track is specific to the cars that come with it. They have to be a certain weight to work best

No, almost any hot wheels car will work - as long as it is not a metal car (too heavy to go around the track) OR a body style that is boxy (like 70's muscle cars - can't fit under the loop to get onto track), extra long (will get caught winding back on the track), or a weird shape (will not pass through the motor and get thrown out with the correct force to propel through the track).

Actually, it does. My grandson had match box cars and some of them did work. It was the lighter ones that worked. If the weight is too much, the mechanism isn't strong enough to push the cars up the track.

These are pretty much the same concept, I used them on my Bike. These will stop you dead on your Track, I do admit they'll wear quick if you're an everyday rider but, I do recommend them.
