wires coming off the Circuit Board - 2 connecting to the light b

ulb, and 6 others that will

connect to other circuits. There should also be 3 wires on the Bottom Frame (one from

the ON/OFF switch, 1 from the battery section, and another between the switch and

battery contacts) and 2 on each of the motors. Be sure that none of these wires have

brok

en off. Contact Elenco

Check Circuit Board for Shorts: Examine the Circuit Board closely. Some of the components

y have been bent during shipping and may now be touching each other. IN NO CASES

SHOULD METAL FROM ONE COMPONENT BE TOUCHING METAL FROM ANOTHER

COMPONENT (creating a “short circuit”). Bend apart any components that have metal

touching.

Batteries:

Be sure the ON/OFF s

witch is OFF. Place 4 AA batteries in the battery cage on the

bottom, positioning their + and - terminals as shown there. Alkaline or rechargeable nickel-

cadmium batter

ies are highly recommended.

Quick Test:

Be sure none of the wires are touching or near the wheels. Flip the ON/OFF Switch to ON,

extend the Transmitter Antenna, and move the remote control levers. If your car does not work

initially then move the transmitter antenna right next to the car (touch it to the antenna wire on

the Circuit board if necessar

y), because the car’s antenna is not installed yet. If your car still

does not w

ork then refer to the Troubleshooting Section on the other side.
