Lap Counting

Maintenance
Track Care
Keep the track surfaces clean and free of dust or debris to ensure optimal electrical contact and smooth car operation. Regularly check track connections for any looseness that could affect performance. Store track pieces in a dry, clean environment when not in use.
Car Care
Inspect the guide pins and contact brushes on the underside of the slot cars periodically. Ensure they are clean and not bent or worn. Replace worn brushes as needed to maintain consistent power delivery to the car's motor. The cars are designed with authentic styling and details; handle them with care to preserve their appearance.
Troubleshooting
- Car not moving or erratic movement: Check all track connections to ensure they are firmly interlocked. Verify the power adapter is securely plugged into both the control unit and the electrical outlet. Ensure the car's guide pin and contact brushes are clean and properly seated in the track slot.
- Cars derailing frequently: Reduce speed, especially on curves and lane change sections. Ensure track pieces are laid flat and securely connected. Check car brushes for proper contact.
- Wireless controllers not responding: Verify that the AAA batteries in the controllers are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge.
