5. Troubleshooting
Most issues with die-cast cars are minor and can be resolved with simple checks.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Wheels do not roll smoothly. | Debris caught in axles, bent axle, or damaged wheel. | Check for and remove any visible debris. Gently attempt to straighten a slightly bent axle. If a wheel or axle is significantly damaged, replacement may not be feasible for a sealed die-cast model. |
| Paint chipping or fading. | Rough handling, prolonged exposure to sunlight or harsh conditions. | This is typically wear and tear. Prevent further damage by handling carefully and storing away from direct sunlight. |
