Troubleshooting

Car not moving on the track

Check that the car's guide blade is properly seated in the track slot. Ensure the track power is on and controllers are functioning. Inspect the pick-up braids for dirt or damage.

Car loses power intermittently

Clean the track sections, especially at the joins. Inspect and clean the car's pick-up braids and the motor/axle contacts.

Ensure the car's wheels and axles are free from debris. Check for any obstructions under the chassis. A gentle run-in period might help.
