6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your slot car set:

• Car Brush Maintenance: The brushes on the underside of the slot cars are crucial for electrical contact. If a brush becomes messy or tangled, gently stretch it and fan out the ends slightly. Ensure the brushes remain independent and do not touch each other to prevent short circuits.
• Track Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the track surfaces with a clean, dry cloth to remove dust and debris that can affect car performance.
• Storage: When not in use, disassemble the track and store all components in their original packaging or a suitable container to protect them from damage.
