That really means the cars aren’t working.
Do the brushes touch the rails? You may have to pull em down a bit

ok now i’m seriously interested in this.

would tech decks fit the 1:64 chassis you have? They’re almost perfect scale for 5" action figures.

@Agressivstreetlamp so I tried the cars on the track with the normal throttle while lifting it the back wheels slightly off the track and it worked fine but as soon as I put it down again it down again it stops working

@longhairedboy I think it would might need a bit of adaption though is

Sounds like brush alignment. Can you send a pic?

Also @longhairedboy would go for the 1:32 as they are much stronger and better made

those brushes look like they could use some re-shaping, maybe some floofing.

And the shouldn’t be touching the car nearly as much. Kinda coming off at an angle

We had a Carrera. Not quite this size, but we had two of the camber corners

Would putting a bit of solder or something on them help?

Noooooo!

Just take a pick and pull them off the car a lot. Like almost vertical, then align brushes with the slot ,the car nose down and make sure the side to side alignment of brushes is correct. Then as you lower the rear of the car, the brushes will be pushes against the slots and their vertical angle will adjust itself

The brushes should touch the metal rails. One other either side but nothing across. Idk if that’s clear or not

definitely do not want wire strands from one brush touching the other brush or the other rail.
