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.

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.
