2. Disconnect Existing Track: Carefully disconnect two straight or curved sections from your current layout where you intend to insert the new pieces. Scalextric Sport Track pieces are recognizable by two push-tabs underneath; gently press these tabs to release the interlocking sections.
3. Connect New Curves: Align the new Radius 2 Racing Curve sections with the open ends of your existing track. Ensure the electrical contacts are properly aligned. Press the track pieces firmly together until they click into place. The interlocking mechanism should create a solid connection.
4. Prova de connexions: After assembly, gently run your hand along the track joins to ensure they are flush and secure. A smooth connection is crucial for consistent power delivery and car performance.
