This image illustrates the various components included in the Carrera Super Rally set, such as track pieces, two race cars, hand controllers, and power supply, along with their quantities.
Assembly and Setup
- Step 1: Prepare the Surface. Choose a flat, stable surface for track assembly. Ensure sufficient space for the entire track layout (approximately 158 x 68 cm or 5.18 x 2.23 ft).
- Step 2: Assemble Track Sections. Connect the track pieces by aligning the connectors and pressing them firmly together. Follow the suggested layout diagram provided in the packaging or create your own. Ensure all connections are secure to maintain electrical continuity.
- Step 3: Install Elevated Sections and Loop. Use the provided supports to elevate sections of the track, such as the looping action and rally action curves. Ensure supports are stable.
- Step 4: Attach Guardrails. Secure guardrails to the outer edges of curves and other sections where cars might derail, as indicated in the diagram.
- Step 5: Connect Power and Controllers. Insert the connection track into the main circuit. Connect the hand controllers to the designated ports on the connection track. Plug the power supply into the connection track and then into a suitable electrical outlet.
- Step 6: Place Race Cars. Carefully place the 1:43 scale race cars onto the track, ensuring the guide pins are correctly seated in the track slot and the electrical brushes are making contact with the track rails.

Operating Your Race Track
- Step 1: Power On. Ensure the power supply is connected and switched on (if applicable).
- Step 2: Control Speed. Use the hand controller to regulate the speed of your race car. Gently press the trigger to accelerate. Release the trigger to slow down.
- Step 3: Utilize Turbo Boost. For an extra burst of speed, press the turbo button on your hand controller. Use this strategically for overtaking or navigating straight sections.
- Step 4: Navigate Curves and Loops. Approach curves and loops with controlled speed. Excessive speed will cause the car to derail. Practice is key to mastering track sections.
- Step 5: Lap Counting. The integrated lap counter will automatically record completed laps for each lane.
Maintenance
- Track Cleaning: Regularly wipe track surfaces with a clean, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or liquids that could damage electrical contacts.
- Car Brushes: Periodically check the electrical brushes on the underside of the race cars. Ensure they are clean, straight, and making good contact with the track rails. Replace worn brushes as needed.
- Track Connections: Ensure all track connections remain tight. Loose connections can lead to intermittent power supply to the cars.
- Storage: When not in use, store the track and cars in a clean, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Disassemble the track carefully to prevent damage to connectors.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Car does not move. | No power to track. | Check power supply connection to track and wall outlet. Ensure all track sections are securely connected. |
| Car moves intermittently. | Loose track connection or dirty brushes. | Check all track connections for tightness. Clean car brushes and ensure they are making good contact. |
| Car derails frequently. | Excessive speed or damaged guide pin. | Reduce speed, especially in curves and loops. Check the car's guide pin for damage and replace if necessary. |
| Turbo boost not working. | Controller issue. | Ensure the turbo button is fully depressed. Test with another controller if available. |
| Lap counter not registering. | Car not passing sensor correctly. | Ensure the car passes over the lap counter sensor smoothly. Check for debris blocking the sensor. |
