Making Loops
Put two loop halves together so that the pins at the top of each
loop half go into the proper holes, creating a tight fitting seam
between the two loop halves.
Holding the loop halves together, slide one loop joiner over one
end of the seam and the other loop joiner over the other end of
theseam.

down - half way into the channel on the underside of
the track piece. Now slide the adjoining track piece
over the open half of the joiner, so that it meets the
first piece. Be sure the tracks meet with no gaps.

• Darda track layouts can be set up on any flat surface. While it is not ideal, your track can be set up on carpet. We do
recommend dusting off the track before use so that dust particles from the carpet do not jam the motor in your car. We do
not recommend running the car itself on carpet.
• Read all assembly instructions carefully.
• If your car has trouble making it around the track at first try the following:
1. Be sure that all track seams meet and connections are secure. Track pieces must meet flush against each other
where they are connected with track and loop joiners, without gaps or bumps at the joints.
2. It may be necessary to play with, adjust, or slightly bend loops in track layouts to maximize
performance. RememberDarda Track is flexible.
Double check your assembly instructions, if you still have difficulty we want to help!
