  3. Install special track elements: Integrate the looping action, junction, and lap counter as shown in the diagram. Use supports for elevated sections like the loop.
  4. Attach track barriers: Secure the red track barriers to the outer edges of curves to prevent cars from derailing.
  5. Connect power and controllers: Plug the power supply into the connection track section. Connect the two speed controllers to the designated ports on the connection track.
