Well, even brand-new cars end up in the pit box sometimes.
This BMW M4 deslots very quickly ... it's almost impossible to keep it on the track.
A quick inspection shows the guide is turning with difficulty.

The car was opened because I wanted to check if the wiring could move freely, and it could. So that's not the problem.
But then I noticed the guide wasn't sitting straight, and as soon as I grabbed it, it came loose.

It turns out to be cracked at the clip section.
This is likely the problem. When it slips out of the holder, it turns stiffly which causes it to deslot.

As usual with Carrera cars there's a spare part in the car's box.
In this photo you can clearly see what's wrong, and how it's supposed to be.

With a convincing click, the new guide is in place under the car.

Since I already had the car open, I went ahead and trued the rear tires.

Now the BMW M4 is fully ready for the track again.
