Tips

If the steering wheel becomes loose or fails to propel the PlasmaCar, the steering wheel nut may not have been tightened enough during assembly. Remove the cap from the steering wheel with a slot screwdriver and loosen the nut with the hex key. Repeat steps 7 and 8, securing the nut as tightly as possible.

TROUBLESHOOTING: The rear wheels may detach from their housing if the PlasmaCar is subjected to overloading or impact. Fit the wheel into its housing so that the flat sides of the write clips contact the wheel housing. Snap the wheel back into place.
