LTSR_NSE Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 It looks like a poor electrical connection. Are the pace car’s braids (electrical pickups) correctly adjusted to make decent contact with the track power rails? If no adjust them to do so. However if yes, there may be an internal wiring fault/loose connection within the pace car itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy P. Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Yep. Typical case of bad track connection and/or bad braids and/or bad wiring and/or lots of schmutz and dreck on the axles and/or wheels. Since the car speeds up on some sections I would start with the track first. https://uk.scalextric.com/community/advice/track-maintenance You have an overpass that also might cause a bad connection. There is a "wunder" product called INOX that you can use on the track to help conductivity. Failing that I have used Ballistol for years. It even comes with little wipees, i.e. application clothe. It is amazing ho much corrosion can be on the track that is not visible... I would then open the car up and inspect and oil it. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your using magic then it is likely a connection issue, make sure you run jumper cables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
