ADULT ASSEMBLY REQUIRED.
Follow the step-by-step instructions to set up your race set.
Please separate the “Assembly Map” page, and keep it handy during
assembly. This page contains the contents list and large-scale Layout
Drawings of the fully-assembled track. You’ll probably need to refer
to it as you go.

CAUTION: This product contains a
sharp edge(s). For adult assembly
only. Take extra care during
unpacking and assembly.
1. There are letters molded into each track piece. These letters are
used in these instructions to indicate which track piece goes where.
Following the layout drawings on the Assembly Map, you may want
to lay out your track – without connecting any track pieces. That way
you’ll be able to see how the track layout goes together.
2. To connect track pieces: working on
the flat surface, push the ends of
the track pieces together. Make sure
they snap together securely – you’ll
hear a click when they’re properly
connected. Remember: if the track
connections aren’t right, electric
power won’t flow from one track section to the next.
3. To disconnect track pieces, simply reach
underneath where the track pieces meet
and press the locking tabs together with
thumb and forefinger as shown.
Occasionally the metal track rails will stick up too far from
the surface of a track piece, as shown. This may interfere
with vehicle movement. To correct, simply press the rail
back down with your finger. If the problem persists, please
contact Customer Service at the toll-free number shown in
this manual.
I. BASIC TRACK ASSEMBLY
Start out on a clean, hard, flat racing surface – not
carpeting. Take out all the track pieces (and other parts) and check
them carefully against the contents list on the Assembly Map.
This track features a SUPER CLIFF HANGERS™ vertical section
that lets you race up the wall. So make sure you’ve chosen an
assembly location with a wall surface handy.
II. STEP-BY-STEP ASSEMBLY
To make assembly easier, we’ve divided the process up into
easy steps. You’ll assemble one section of track at a time,
connecting the sections together as you go.
First, let’s assemble the loop section. The following
drawings shows you, step by step, how to assemble this
section. Take your time, and refer to the Layout Drawings on the
Assembly Map if you need to.
For the Loop and Wall Climb layout, the best performance will
be with the controller in position #3. Beginners should try the
alternate layout."

Assemble 8 Transition Track pieces to form the loop,
as shown. Then add 1 “B” and “C” track piece to
each end of the loop, as shown.
Assemble 4 cradles as shown.

2 cradles are used to support
the loop, and 2 cradles are used
to support the SUPER CLIFF
HANGERS™ track
section (you’ll assemble the
SUPER CLIFF HANGERS™
section in the next section of
this Instruction Manual).
Now let’s assemble the SUPER CLIFF HANGERS™ track section.
For easy assembly, make sure you’re working with the track
pieces against the floor…for added support. Once this section is
complete, you’ll connect it to the loop section. Remember: refer
to the Layout Drawings on the Assembly Map if you need to.

Attach 4 Transition Track pieces to the track, as shown.

Like the loop, these Transition Track pieces are supported
by 2 cradles. To attach the cradles, first make sure the
arrow molded into the cradle is pointing upward. Then
attach the cradles to the Transition Tracks as shown.

DOUBLE-
RAIL
TRACKS
You’re almost done! To finish the track layout, let’s attach
guardrails…to help keep your cars from spinning out on
the curves. Remember: refer to the Layout Drawings on the
Assembly Map if you need to.
a
Attach 4 guardrails as shown. To attach guardrails: gently
flex the guardrails before attaching them. Carefully attach the
bottom of the guardrail first. Then pull up and snap into place.
Don’t force guardrails into place.

CONNECTION
Continue adding track pieces, as shown, to build the complete
SUPER CLIFF HANGERS™ track section. Make sure the SUPER
CLIFF HANGERS™ section is firmly pressed against the wall.
Make sure you use the Double-Rail tracks to form the top
of the SUPER CLIFF HANGERS™ section. These tracks
are specially made for vertical racing.
