Troubleshooting
Track pieces do not connect securely
Ensure that the connection clips on both track pieces are clean and free of obstruction. Gently press the pieces together until they click firmly into place. Verify compatibility with your Carrera system.
Cars derail on the new curve
Check that the curve is assembled correctly and the outer edge strips are properly aligned. Ensure the track is on a level surface. Reduce speed when approaching the curve. The 4/15° curve is designed for higher speeds, but aggressive driving may still cause issues.
Inconsistent power delivery on the new section
Inspect the track connections at the entry and exit points of the curve for dirt or damage. Ensure all track contacts are clean and making good contact with the car's pickup shoes.
