Instructions

    • 1

      Gather together the parts. Your kit should contain a chassis, a car body, wheels and an engine.

    • 2

      If necessary, plug in a soldering iron. Some cars require soldering; others clip together and have integral electrical attachments.

    • 3

      If the kit comes with directions, read them first.

    • 4

      Mount the engine into the chassis. If the chassis screws together, an appropriately sized wrench should be included with the kit.

    • 5

      Bolt the wheels on.

    • 6

      Paint the body if desired. Add decals if you'd like.

    • 7

      Allow the body to dry overnight.

    • 8

      Attach the body to the chassis.

    • 9

      Check for any friction between the wheels and the chassis or body.

    • 10

      Test the car on the track.
