**Not Using the Right Power Supply**: Using the wrong power supply can lead to underperformance or even damage your cars. Always check the specs!

**Too Much Speed**: Beginners sometimes think faster is better. But if you push the throttle too hard, you’ll just end up derailing more often.

**Neglecting to Practice**: Some folks expect to be pros right away. Racing takes practice, so don’t get discouraged if you’re not winning immediately!
