Track Performance
How do the track pieces attach together?
The track pieces each have two ‘tabs’ at one end. and two ‘slots’ at the other end. The tabs of each
piece simply slot into the next piece of track. It’s very quick and easy to assemble, and even quicker to
take apart!
How durable are the track pieces? If they are folded or bent will they snap?
The track is flexible, so it won't snap, but care should be taken to avoid creasing or damage. The most
important thing will be storing the track pieces flat, not folded or bent, so they lie flat on the floor as
soon as you want to start playing.
How well does the track work on carpet? Do you need hard, flat floors?
The track works perfectly on normal carpet or hard floors. You just need to be careful to avoid laying it
on top of things that will make a lump under the track that may interfere with your driving.
Issue: Vehicles slide off the track at the bends even at low speed
There may be dust or dirt on the track or vehicle tires, or direct sunlight on the track. Clean the track and
tires gently with a clean damp cloth and ensure there is no direct sunlight on the track.
Issue: Vehicle comes off track in Autodrive mode
There may be dust on the vehicle tires or sensor windows, or the Smart Track™ pieces are separated.
Wipe with a clean cloth and check that the track pieces are joined correctly with no lumps underneath.
Can’t I just photocopy the track, or print it myself, to extend it?
No. Our Smart Track™ has been carefully constructed to give the maximum response from cars across
the entire track width, as well as functional components like edge detection, barcodes etc. Everything
about the functionality in Hot Wheels AI depends on this being accurately calibrated.
