Hello! We recently purchased a used Hot Wheels 4 Lane Cliff Hangers set for our twin boys. We have the box (copyright 1999), but no instructions. Does anyone know where to find them online or perhaps have some instructions they could email to us? We looked, but couldn't find the instructions for this set online. After a couple of hours trying to put it together based on the picture alone, we could sure use the help! :) Thank you!

Thank you for the tips, unfortunately, our set is not listed on those links. We believe we have all of the parts, but there are several different radius of curves and lengths of straight track and we can't tell from the picture which to put where! Here is a link to the set on epinions http://tinyurl.com/2fknyw - I don't know why it lists it as "Little Brown". Epinions is the only website we can find this set on. Hopefully someone has a set of the instructions they can share!

I looked on E-bay for the set...didnt see the exact set...but there is bound to be one listed sooner or later...

Many times they show a photo of the original paperwork that has the stock layout on it...

I have to look...But I'm pretty sure I have the paperwork for the tyco four laner version without the vertical cliffhanger loop....I bought a couple of them off e-bay to get the 12" radius curves for a fourlnaer tyco layout I built..

It may be enough to get you at least up and running...

I'm sure someone somewhere has the cliff hanger version...

Ah....found it....

Ok...looks like the vertical loop simply goes at one end of this layout..

Do you have somewhere I can send a fax?

Ok...sent it off...

A few notes...

Track "E" is the same radius as track "C".....nine inches...

Track C is the double rail track that should go at the top of the vertical loop instead of the east end of the pictured layout...

It looks like you can put the vertical loop at either end of the layout.....basiclly the pictured layout with the curves ran up the wall...

If you have any other questions or are missing pieces....lets us know... :thumbsup:

(We have alterior motives....we plan on getting you hooked on slotcars and turn your kids into hopeless slotcar addicts...pretty soon we'll have you building tables, wiring in power supplies and timing your races..) :freak:

Hello again! I'm back and hoping someone has the correct instructions for the Hot Wheels 4 Lane Cliff Hangers set that they can share with us. :o

We managed to make the instructions (for a similar set) previously sent to us work to some degree, but we actually have some extra pieces left over. Also, the turns on the track are too tight and so the pieces keep trying to pull apart. So, I come appealing to you once again for help. Does anyone have the correct instructions? Thank you!
