**Check the Track Alignment**: Sometimes the track isn't aligned properly. Make sure all the pieces are snug and straight. A little adjustment can make a big difference!

**Inspect the Wheels**: Look at the wheels on your slot car. If they're dirty or worn down, they might not grip the track well. Clean them or consider replacing them if they’re too worn.

**Adjust the Guide Flag**: The guide flag is the little piece that keeps the car on the track. If it's too high or too low, it can cause derailments. Try adjusting its height to see if that helps.

**Test the Car's Weight**: If your car is too light, it might not have enough traction. You can add a little weight to it to help it stay on the track better.

**Check for Track Debris**: Make sure there isn’t any dust or debris on the track. Even a tiny piece of dirt can mess things up. Give it a good clean!

**Look for Track Bumps**: Sometimes, the track can have bumps or warps that cause cars to jump off. Check for any irregularities and fix them if you find any.
