Troubleshooting
Car not moving on the track
Ensure the car's guide blade is properly seated and that the contact brushes are clean and making contact with the track rails. Check the power supply and controller connections.
Car losing power or running erratically
Clean the car's pick-up braids (contact points) with a soft cloth. Inspect the track for debris or dirt that may be affecting electrical conductivity. Ensure the track power base is functioning correctly.
Car frequently derailing
Check that the Magnatraction magnets are clean and free of debris. Ensure the car is not exceeding appropriate speeds for the track's corners. Verify track connections are secure and level.
Lights not working
Inspect the small wires connecting the lights to the car's internal circuitry. Ensure they are securely attached. If the issue persists, the bulb or LED may need replacement, which may require partial disassembly.
