Troubleshooting
Car not moving when trigger is pressed
Check that the car is seated correctly on the track. Ensure the track power is on and the controller is functioning. Clean the guide and track contacts for both the car and the track.
Car frequently de-slots or loses traction
Ensure the track surface is clean and free of debris. Check that the car's tires have good grip; consider cleaning or replacing them if worn. Adjust driving style for smoother throttle and braking, especially in corners. Verify chassis screws are tightened appropriately.
Motor sounds rough or erratic
Inspect the motor for any obstructions. Clean the guide and ensure electrical pickup is consistent. If the issue persists, the motor may require professional inspection or replacement.
Car pulls to one side
Check for bent guide or front wheels. Ensure all wheels are spinning freely and are aligned. Examine the chassis for any signs of damage or warping.
