Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly: The set requires adult assembly. Ensure all components are clicked firmly into place according to the manual before allowing children to play.
Compatibility: This launcher is compatible with standard Hot Wheels track systems. While it can be used on its own, it functions best when anchored to a piece of orange track to provide a consistent launch runway.
Care: The launcher is made of durable plastic, but it should not be submerged in water. Keep the internal spring mechanism free of debris or dust to maintain consistent launch power. If the launcher becomes dirty, a simple wipe with a dry cloth is sufficient.
