ENGINE
ANCHOR PINS AND CONNECTORS
Take a careful look at the different assembly
components. Blue short anchor pins, purple joint pins,
red shaft plugs, and purple 30-mm tubes can look
pretty similar at first glance. When you assemble the
models, it’s important to use the right ones.
CONNECTING
FRAMES AND RODS
Use the anchor pins to connect
frames and rods.
ANCHOR PIN LEVER
When you want to take your model apart again, you
will need the anchor pin lever. Use the narrow end of
the lever to remove the anchor pins. You can use the
wide end to pry out shaft plugs.
There are eight possible insertion slots in the
rip-cord gyroscope for the rip cords. Use only
one at a time. Please note the markings on the
top and bottom of the gyroscope housing which
indicate the direction in which to insert the rip
cords. Do not insert the rip cord into a slot if the
gyroscope is still spinning.
The wheel with the rubber ring is the drive
wheel. This is the wheel that provides the final
driving force for the vehicle. This wheel is driven
by the flywheel inside the device.
There are six possible insertion slots in the
flywheel engine for the rip cords. Use only one
at a time. Do not insert the rip cord into a slot if
the flywheel is still spinning. Try the rip cord in
different slots to see which way the drive wheel
turns and which direction the vehicle moves for
each slot.
