My main reservation is that I teach secondary and I wonder how the older kids would react to the little cars. Do you have experience with using these with older kids?

Timing is trackmate infra red system from Canada. Works really well. Older kids still enjoy it and I can turn the speed up.
Problem with bigger cars is you need more space, more materials and you get more breakages. These things have gone for a year and I haven't split a body yet! I can pack the whole lot into my fiat punto and bring it home again in 45 minutes!
I started with losi mini 8's but to run indoors you need carpet, drain pipe and the cars constantly escape. These rarely make it off the track.
