1: Install rear axle assembly:

Disconnect the 2 rear wheel motors from the vehicle. Turn car
upside down. Locate the rear axle with the 2 axle blocks. Screw the
2 axle blocks into the bottom of the vehicle’s body with supplied
screws (total of 8 screws). Once axle is installed, locate the 2 rear
motors and slide onto axle.

2: Installation of the wheels:

Locate the 4 hub adaptors and screw adaptors into back of each tire
with supplied screws. (you will need 4 screws per tire, total 16
screws) Once hub adaptors are installed, slide tires onto axle, and
align with gear box. Locate 4 washers, and place on axle after each
tire. Install 4 lug nuts on top of each washer. Tighten with 2 lug nut
wrenches (supplied) until axle protrudes slightly from lug nut. Do
not overtighten as this could cause motor failure. Place center caps
over lug nuts, and snap into place. Turn vehicle over, to its upright
position.

3: Front and rear motor connection:

Check to make sure the front motors on the vehicle are connected.
They should come connected from the factory. Reconnect rear
wheel motors. Blue and yellow wired plug connects into driver side
of vehicle. Green and yellow plug connects into passenger side of
vehicle. Check to make sure the motors are turning in the proper
direction (forward/reverse) by powering the car on, selecting
forward or reverse, and pressing the gas pedal. If the wheels are not
turning in the proper direction, switch the plugs on each motor, and
check again.

4: Installation of the seat:

Locate the seat of the vehicle. Make sure the seat belt is not
covered by the seat. Install seat by sliding tabs into the body of the
vehicle, and secure with 2 screws.

5. Installation of doors and windshield:

Slide doors into place, and secure them to body of the vehicle with 2
screws. Locate the windshield. Install the windshield by lining up
with the body of the vehicle, and snap down into place.

6. Installation of light Bar, mirrors, and handrails:

Install 4 AA batteries into the light bar. Check to make sure it is
operating correctly before installing it. Snap into place on the body
of vehicle. Locate 2 rear black trim pieces (these are the hand rails),
and snap into place behind the light bar. Install mirrors to the door
by pressing firmly inward, and snapping into place.

7. Installation of steering wheel:

Ensure the steering rod is properly seated into steering motor guide
on the bottom of the vehicle. Failure to do this step will result in the
inability to secure the steering wheel to the vehicle. Remove the nut
and bolt from steering wheel. Connect the steering wheel wires and
slide the steering wheel onto the steering rod. Place bolt through the
steering wheel column and replace nut to secure. The steering wheel
should never be used to pick-up the vehicle.
