Setup Instructions

  1. Track Assembly: Ensure your Carrera GO!!! slot car track system is fully assembled and securely connected according to its own instruction manual. Verify all track sections are flush and power connections are firm.
  2. Power Connection: Connect the track's power supply to a suitable electrical outlet. Ensure the power unit is switched off before placing cars on the track.
  3. Car Preparation:
    • Check Contact Brushes: Before first use, inspect the double contact brushes located on the underside of the car. Ensure they are clean, straight, and make good contact with the track's power rails. If bent, gently straighten them.
    • Wheel and Axle Check: Verify that all wheels spin freely and are securely attached to their axles.
    • Magnet Check: The car is equipped with downforce magnets. Ensure they are present and clean on the underside of the chassis.
  4. Placement on Track: Carefully place the slot car onto the track, ensuring the guide keel on the underside of the car is correctly inserted into the track slot and the contact brushes are resting flat on the track's power rails.

Operating Instructions

  1. Power On: Once the car is correctly placed on the track, switch on the power supply to the track system.
  2. Controller Usage: Use the hand-held speed controller to regulate the car's speed. Gently press the trigger to accelerate and release to slow down. Avoid sudden, full acceleration, especially in turns, to prevent the car from de-slotting.
  3. Cornering: The car's downforce magnets assist with cornering. Reduce speed slightly before entering a turn and gradually accelerate out of it.
  4. Racing: For optimal racing, practice smooth acceleration and braking. The car is designed for responsive handling on Carrera GO!!! tracks.
