Is this car suitable for beginners?

Troubleshooting
Car not moving
Check that the contact brushes are making firm contact with the track. Ensure the guide blade is correctly seated in the track slot. Verify the power supply and connections to the track are secure.
Car derails frequently
Ensure track sections are securely joined. Check for any debris on the track or in the car's guide. Reduce speed when approaching corners. If the car has adjustable magnet strength, try reducing it.
Poor electrical pick-up
Clean the contact brushes and the underside of the guide blade. Inspect the braids on the contact brushes for wear or damage and replace if necessary.
Motor sounds strained
Check for any obstructions around the motor or drive train. Ensure the rear wheels spin freely. Clean the motor contacts if accessible.
