Product Information
Full details
The Carrera GO!!! Mario Kart P-Wing set is designed for young Mario Kart enthusiasts and slot car hobbyists who want to bring competitive video game racing into their physical space. This 4.9-metre track offers high-speed excitement with features like a loop and turbo-boost controllers, providing an immersive experience for up to two players. While it excels at delivering nostalgic fun for fans of the franchise, users should note that its 1:43 scale requires a fair amount of dedicated floor or table space for a stable setup.

FAQs
Can I expand this track later?
Yes, the Carrera GO!!! series is compatible with other GO!!! expansion sets and track accessories.
Are other characters available for this set?
The set works with any 1:43 scale Carrera GO!!! slot cars, allowing you to add more drivers to your collection.
Does it require batteries?
No, this set is powered via the included UK transformer plug.
How much space do I need?
The track is 4.9 metres in length; you should ensure you have a flat area of at least 2 x 1.5 metres for a comfortable setup.
Are the cars fragile?
They are durable enough for standard play, but they are detailed plastic models and should be handled with care to avoid damage to exterior parts.
Troubleshooting
Car fails to move when throttle is pressed
Ensure the car's contact brushes are touching the metal rails and the track sections are fully snapped together.
Car constantly flies off the track at bends
Reduce speed before entering the curve and ensure the turbo button is not being held down during tight turns.
Loop-the-loop performance is sluggish
Use the turbo button on the straight leading into the loop to build necessary momentum.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the track is straightforward due to the snap-together design of the Carrera GO!!! system. Ensure that each track section is clicked firmly into place to maintain electrical continuity for the cars. When connecting the UK transformer, verify the connection to the control track section first before plugging it into the wall. To maintain performance, regularly wipe the track surface with a dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust. If the cars begin to run inconsistently, inspect the contact brushes underneath the chassis; if they are frayed or flattened, adjust them gently to ensure they make consistent contact with the metal rails.
