Troubleshooting Tips

Wheels Won't Spin
If the wheels on your toy karts won't spin correctly it may be a simple case that they are clogged with debris or hair. To check to see if this is the is the problem you and resolve the issue you need to do the following:

1) Remove the rubber wheels. Don't worry if you mix them up, you just need to make sure the smaller wheels are placed back on the front and the larger ones are on the back.

2) Take a pair of tweezers and use it to remove the hair.

3) Put the rubber wheels back on. You need to ensure they completely over the yellow otherwise the kart won't drive correctly.
Laps Not Counted Correctly
This may be a simple case of you having made your turns leading to the gate too tight. Just reposition the bend so the kart enters the gate on a straightaway and there is good chance you will have resolved the problem.
Connection Error
Usually when a connection error happens it is because the kart is too far form the Switch. The recommended distance by Nintendo is keeping the track distance under 5 meters. However you can go further by using the Switch in handheld mode and sitting in the center of the course.

Creating a Track Tips

When you are putting together a track consider surrounding it with household items and toys to make it look more interesting. Things that work well are plants, LEGO sets, and even cardboard boxes opened at the sides to create tunnels. Although the radio controlled kart is not suitable for climbing steep slopes you can still place objects in the middle of the path like a thin notebook to create bumps or place cloths or carpets on the track to create areas where the karts are forced to slow down.

Once you have your track how you want it you need to ensure the room it is in is well lit, both to make the image on the screen clearer and to allow the camera to correctly recognize the four gates. It is recommended that you temporarily turn off unnecessary Wi-Fi networks like mobile phones and tablits in order to prevent them from disturbing the wireless signal while you play.
