**Not Reading the Manual**: A lot of newbies dive right in without checking out the instructions. Each slot car set can have its quirks, and skipping the manual can lead to some frustrating moments!

**Overlooking Track Setup**: Some beginners don’t pay much attention to how they set up the track. If it’s not level or if the connections aren’t secure, it can cause all sorts of issues like cars derailing or not getting enough power.

**Ignoring Maintenance**: People often forget to clean the track and the car’s wheels. Dust and dirt can really mess with performance, so a little maintenance goes a long way!

**Going Too Fast Too Soon**: It’s tempting to crank up the speed right away, but new drivers often lose control and crash. It’s better to start slow and get a feel for the car before hitting the gas.

**Choosing the Wrong Cars**: Beginners sometimes pick cars that aren’t suited for their track type or skill level. It’s worth doing a bit of research to find the right fit!
