Tinkering with TYCO TCR

I picked up a TYCO TCR set with two cars in excellent condition. Just starting tinkering with them. They're a little temperamental, but the potential is there for some racing fun with the kids. Does anyone have any expertise in TCR? I know it's often ignored by most slot car enthusiasts due to the many technical problems and the fact that it seems to be a novelty, but I like a challenge.
Thanks.

Hi Rusty,
I've been reading a lot on Dan's site. Very comprehensive.
I picked up the TCR High Banked set:
