Car Performance & Gameplay
What is the scale of these cars?
They are 1/32 scale.
Does the car/controller have "braking" functionality?
If you pull the throttle trigger in the opposite direction of acceleration, the car will brake and eventually
begin to drive in reverse.
When a car comes off the road, does it automatically find its way back on, or do you have to guide the
car back to the road?
When the cars spin off the track, you can drive them straight back on, but you do need to steer them
back; they will not do this automatically.
Can you run a car the other way around a track?
Using the AI, the cars will only go around properly in the direction that follows the arrows.
Issue: Laps are not being counted
There may be dust on the sensors on the underside of your Smart Car. Wipe with a clean cloth. Also, be
sure the Starting Lane (piece A) is included in the track layout.
Issue: Vehicle does not drive straight in Freeplay mode
From time to time (especially after you crash), you may need to adjust the steering on your Hot Wheels®

adjusted the steering one notch in that direction

Issue: Vehicle does not steer properly
Check to be sure the tires are securely on the wheel rims, then make sure the body shell is properly
attached to the chassis.
Issue: Vehicle won’t steer into the pit
To enter the pit lane, you must engage RC mode by pressing the RC button on your controller. The
challenge of entering the pit lane varies by skill level:
Beginner:
no need to enter the pit lane (no hazards in this skill level), but you can enter the pit lane by
disabling the AI assist by pressing the RC button
