Replacement Track
A lot of people still have the trucks but no track! No worries, you can get the track online and it's pretty readily available. You will also need a power supply and the terminal section track. That's all you need to get started!
Power & Controllers
After you get the track, you will need the power supply and controllers. These are readily available on eBay! There are two types, one is separated, and one is all one piece, either will work. We have a controller repair video here.
