Will motorized cars work with this set or only certain VTech Sets? There are a lot of sets available. Is one better than another?

This garage is awesome. Yes, all the motorized v-etch cars, trains, etc work on all the v-tech sets. They can be connected (there is a picture of the all the sets linked together). It's fun to get another set for my grandson each time, that will work with and add to the previous ones I've given him!

The Vtech Go Smart Wheels cars work with this set. My son has the police car, airplane, tow truck, and race car...all work with the garageset. We also have the airport, but this is my sons favorite, by far.

Yes all 3 cars run by battery,I bought this set and 3 others for my grandson who is 3 years old and he loves it. Because he is only3 I monitor him with it but he knows how to turn them on and put them on the track. I put it together for him and he play's for hours.

Paul, it called VTech Go! Go! Smart Wheels- Deluxe Track Set. Our son said it makes a great difference running the train.

For what is included in this set, you have to push the train by hand. After discovering this, I went out and bought a battery powered motorized train ($15). You can connect all the non-powered trains in a daisy chain as they have magnets at the front and rear of each carriage.

this toy is also selled with a racetrack and an extra vehicle...I have seen it in the alextoys website...you should also check it out..I bought this 4 set vehicle for my son and I am very happy with it...but I would have loved to know about the existence of the one that I am telling you because that set its more complete than this one...Greetings!

You can buy these directly from the fisher price site (they only have the one from toy story avail now but they should be the same) https://store.mattel.com/ItemDetail.aspx?cat=140&item;=60381 . Otherwise you can just find any SHORT car from Hot Wheels - the short ones work fine on it.

I believe it was specifically made for the larger, plastic, battery operated trains. It comes with a Thomas and a freight car, the boulders as well. What is unfortunate about this particular set is that the track isn't really compatible with other plastic tracks, like the Blue Mountain Quarry - the Great Quarry Climb play set and the "portable" plastic tracks. The tracks for this are very specific to the set itself. The wooden trains will fit the track but not the smaller die cast trains (I tried it out for you just to be certain).

You can use any hotwheels car with set. Grandson loved this by the way. He still plays with it 1 year later.

I don't know which is better although I thought it would move more and do more things and perhaps make more car/dino noises. I was disappointed with this Vtech product and so was my grandson. Sorry.

Yes any hot wheels will work..it actually only comes with one car so you need to buy more cars. My 4 yr old puts random things in it and launches it also..like coins or plastic army men haha

If it is a hot wheels slot car of the same scale and voltage it should work. I couldn't test any other slot cars with this. If you are looking for a matchbox car style track with a friction/gravity style of locomotion this is not what you are looking for. This has a small slot and two electrified rails for each car to pull electricity from which powers a small motor in the car.

i'm sorry, i don't have an answer for this. i bought this item as a gift for my great-nephews at Christmas, and i watched them play with them on the tracks they already had, which i believe were compatible with Thomas. so i felt safe buying the engines/train cars set. they worked perfectly. if Melissa and Doug track say they'll work with Thomas engines, then they "should" be ok, i would think. but i can't say for certain, sorry!!! but i will say that this particular train set is really nice, the pieces are fair sized and easy to play with, and the kids absolutely loved them!! good luck to you in whatever decision you make!! i'm sorry, i don't have an answer for this. i bought this item as a gift for my great-nephews at Christmas, and i watched them play with them on the tracks they already had, which i believe were compatible with Thomas. so i felt safe buying the engines/train cars set. they worked perfectly. if Melissa and Doug track say they'll work with Thomas engines, then they "should" be ok, i would think. but i can't say for certain, sorry!!! but i will say that this particular train set is really nice, the pieces are fair sized and easy to play with, and the kids absolutely loved them!! good... » Read More i'm sorry, i don't have an answer for this. i bought this item as a gift for my great-nephews at Christmas, and i watched them play with them on the tracks they already had, which i believe were compatible with Thomas. so i felt safe buying the engines/train cars set. they worked perfectly. if Melissa and Doug track say they'll work with Thomas engines, then they "should" be ok, i would think. but i can't say for certain, sorry!!! but i will say that this particular train set is really nice, the pieces are fair sized and easy to play with, and the kids absolutely loved them!! good luck to you in whatever decision you make!! « Show Less

Yes, Matchbox cars will work, as well as Hot Wheels, and the little wooden cars & trucks that go with train sets. This is a well made set, but allow plenty of time for assembly! Once done, it will last for years. My 4-year old grandson absolutely loves this garage set. Sparks imagination - good old fashioned fun!

Yes. Any of their "preschool" or Discovery Junction engines will work. None of those are motorized, but the company rep confirmed for me that those engines will run on the track.

If it is battery operated then yes. I'm not quite understanding your question. All these VTechs can interlock with each other, but as for the cars, they are the ones that they push around the tracks, they don't go by themselves.

I'm almost certain this unit will not work. From past experience this unit only works with certain Vtech models only. It is best to buy the complete set that comes with phones and headset that match.
