TRACK TIPS
• If your car has trouble making it around the track at first try the following:
1. Be sure that all track seams meet and connections are secure. Track pieces must meet flush
against each other where they are connected with track and loop joiners, without gaps or
bumps at the joints.
2. It may be necessary to play with, adjust, or slightly bend loops in track layouts to maximize
performance. Remember Darda Track is flexible.
• Darda track layouts can be set up on any flat surface. While it is not ideal, your track can be set up on
carpet. We do recommend dusting off the track before use so that dust particles from the carpet do not
jam the motor in your car. We do not recommend running the car itself on carpet.
Double check your assembly instructions, if you still have difficulty we want to help! Call our toll-free
