❑ Figs. 94 & 95 Now we connect the battery and
motor wires. Start by measuring the motor wires. We will start
with the black battery negative wire. This connects to the
negative tab of the battery on the right or passenger side of the
car. Keep the wire as short as possible but still have a little bit
of movement in the wire. We also want to keep the black wire
about an inch away from the antenna wire. This will help to
make sure that the antenna cannot pick up any electrical
interference from the battery pack.
Next the red wire needs to be measured to the positive
terminal on the motor. Also measure the blue wire which will go
to negative terminal on the motor. Again, keep the wires as
short as possible but leave enough slack for the movement of
the rear pod and motor adjustment. If your wires are too short
you affect the handling of the car.
Now connect the battery positive terminal to the speed
control. Because the speed control is a three wire unit, make a
jumper wire that will connect the battery positive terminal and
will splice into the red motor lead from the speed control. Find
a point on the red motor wire straight across from the battery
positive terminal. Strip off a piece of the electrical insulation at
this location. Now use a piece of red wire, that was cut off the
speed control when the motor positive lead was measured, to
go between the red wire and the positive terminal of the battery
pack. Fig. 95 shows all the battery and motor wires connected.

WHEEL & TIRE INSTALLATION
❑
Figs. 96, 97 & 98 The final step before your car
is assembled will be to install the wheels and tires. In your kit
box you will find a smaller box. Inside you will find the two #3626
dished rear tires and wheels along with the two #3672 dished
front tires and wheels. We will start by taking out the two #3626
rear wheels and tires. Go back to bag #5 and remove the four
#6932 4-40 x 5/16” SHCScrews. Take one of the wheels and
line up the mounting holes with the holes in the right wheel hub.
Secure the wheel to the hub with two #6932 screws. Now do the
same for the left rear wheel.
