Operating Instructions

  1. Place Vehicles: Position one Hot Wheels vehicle into each launcher at the starting line. Ensure they are seated correctly.
  2. Prepare to Launch: Pull back the launcher mechanism for each car. The further back you pull, the more speed the car will generate.
  3. Launch Cars: Simultaneously release both launchers to start the drag race. Watch as the cars speed through the loops and towards the finish line.
  4. Determine Winner: The first car to cross the finish line triggers the flag, indicating the winner.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Wipe down track pieces and vehicles with a soft, damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: The playset is designed to fold up for compact storage. Disassemble the loops and finish line, then fold the main track sections. This helps protect the components and saves space.

Troubleshooting

  • Cars not completing loops: Ensure the launchers are pulled back fully to generate maximum speed. Some heavier or larger Hot Wheels vehicles may not perform optimally on the loops. Experiment with different car types for best results.
  • Cars derailing: Check that all track connections are secure and flat. Ensure vehicles are placed correctly in the launchers before release.
  • Launchers not working: Verify that the launcher mechanism is free of obstructions and moves smoothly.
