Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Car does not complete the loops. | Insufficient launch force; track not properly aligned; car type not suitable. | Ensure the launcher is pulled back fully. Check all track connections for proper alignment. Use standard 1:64 scale Hot Wheels cars. |
| Track feels unstable. | Connections are loose; base not on a flat surface. | Press firmly on all connection points to ensure they are secure. Place the track on a flat, stable surface. |
| Launcher mechanism is stuck or not working. | Debris in mechanism; part misalignment. | Inspect the launcher for any obstructions and remove them. Ensure all parts of the launcher are correctly assembled. |
