6. Troubleshooting
Hot Wheels die-cast vehicles are generally robust. If you encounter any issues, consider the following:
- Wheels not rolling smoothly: Check for any debris caught in the axles or wheels. Gently remove any obstructions. Ensure the axles are not bent.
- Paint or decals peeling: This is typically due to wear and tear from play or improper cleaning. Unfortunately, paint and decal damage from use is not usually repairable.
- Broken parts: If a part breaks, assess if it can be safely reattached with appropriate adhesive (e.g., plastic model glue) by an adult. Discard if sharp edges or small pieces pose a hazard.
