You don't need anything fancy, or crazy power setups to have your trucks run well. The key is to isolate the trouble areas and address them. The way I do this is to simply run the trucks as slow as possible. They will stop on the track where there is a problem. The problems I have observed are:

- Rails not pushed up far enough
-Track not making good contact when pieced together, requiring some bending
-Oxidized track rails that need sanded/cleaned

The other factor is using trucks serviced, cleaned, greased, and oiled. They are typically filled with carpet and hair and dirty.

I just cleaned all my track and serviced it.
