Following the layout drawing 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.

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.

Look for this symbol throughout this manual. It indicates important
information.

Be sure to check out the Troubleshooting Guide on the back of the
Assembly Map.

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.

Sometimes brand-new track may need a quick cleaning for best
performance. Check the Maintenance section of this manual for
more information.

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 show 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.

GUARDRAIL

ASSEMBLY

Requires 6 x 1.5V "D" size (LR20) batteries (not included). Install 6 x 1.5V
"D" size (LR20) alkaline batteries as shown.

USE ALKALINE BATTERIES ONLY.

Battery Performance Note: For best performance use alkaline batteries
(where disposable batteries are called for). Replace batteries when vehicle
motion becomes too slow. If your product is supplied with standard (carbon­zinc) batteries for initial use and/or demonstration purposes, we recommend
replacing them with alkaline batteries when necessary. Battery life may vary
depending on battery brand.

Always unplug your Battery Pack when not in use!

You’re almost done! To finish the track layout, let’s attach guardrails…to
help keep your cars from spinning out on the curves.

To attach a guardrail: gently flex the
guardrail before attaching it. Carefully
attach the bottom of the guardrail first.
Then pull up and snap into place. Don’t
force guardrails into place. Refer to the
Assembly Map for placement.

Once your race set is fully assembled, it’s time for some power.
Follow the steps in BATTERY PACK / HAND CONTROLLER ASSEMBLY for
power connection.

Hand Controllers (2)
Yellow Hand Controller Plugs
Red Battery Pack Plug
Terminal Track
Power Pack
Direction of travel

a. The cables for the Battery Pack and the hand controllers have color-coded

plugs to help you make your connections properly. First, plug the red plug
into the red receptacle on the terminal track. Next, plug the yellow hand
controllers into the white receptacles on the terminal track.

b. To test track and power connections, hold a car on the track with its metal

contacts touching the metal track rails.
Gently hold the front end of the car down
while lifting the vehicle as shown (do not
lift the vehicle by its rear tires). Squeeze
the hand controller: the car’s rear tires
should spin. If they don’t, there’s a
connection problem. Carefully check the
track and power connections.

c. Your hand controller is your car’s “throttle.” The more you squeeze the

trigger the faster your car will go. Practice at a slow speed for a few laps,
until you’re ready to race!
