8.  Carefully push one of the back wheels on the short end of 

the axle. 

9.  Add a spacer and insert the axle through the bushings on 

the back of the chassis so the gear is on the right side. 

10. Add three spacers to the end of the axle and then push on 

the other back wheel.

Putting It All Together 

1.  Gather the motor mount (with Parts B), chassis, two #6 x 1/2" 

screws, and two locknuts. With the 40-tooth gear on the left, 

set the narrow end of the motor mount between the chassis 

near the hole close to the back wheels. 

2.  Insert a screw on each side and place a locknut on each 

screw. Using pliers, hold the locknut and tighten the screw 

just to hold on the part – the assembly should be able to 

move. 

3.   Find the motor, two #4 x 1-1/4" screws, two washers, and 

six nuts. Place a washer over one of the screws. On top of 

the motor mount, insert the screw just through one side 

of a remaining hole and place a nut on the screw end 

and turn it a few times. Add a second nut and turn it a 

few times. Push the screw through the other side of the 

assembly and place the third nut on the end, but do not 

tighten it yet.

4.   Repeat Step 3 for the remaining hole at the top of the 

motor mount.

5.  Twist the motor’s wire ends.
6.  Wrap a piece of tape around the motor. Note: If you are 

not going to take apart and reuse the car, you can use 

cool-melt glue after the motor is in the mount. The glue 

or tape hold the motor in place.

7.  Insert the motor in the 

motor mount so the 

pinion gear is on the 

same side as the 40-tooth 

gear.
