How to Build a Slot Car Track

Premade slot car tracks snap together easily. But they don't come apart that easily, so make sure you get it right the first time.

Things You'll Need

Instructions

    • 1

      Take all the sections of track out of the box.

    • 2

      Turn them all right-side up, so that the slots are facing up.

    • 3

      Without snapping any of the pieces together, lay out the track in a mock-up. If there is a vertical or bridge section, lay it resting across the other pieces where it will be in the final setup.

    • 4

      Observe the amount of area required for the entire track.

    • 5

      Select a place for the layout to rest. An unused table is better than the floor. The track will doubtless be stepped on if it's on the floor.

    • 6

      Plan to have the kit's plug as close to an electrical outlet as possible.

    • 7

      Take the first piece of straightaway track from the mock-up.

    • 8

      Take the next piece from the mock-up and snap it onto the first.

    • 9

      Continue around the track until the model speedway is complete.

    • 10

      Attach the electronic controls where indicated (usually at the start-finish line) with the plugs provided.

    • 11

      Plug in the controls or install the batteries, as appropriate.
