SIDE BEFORE ADDING ANY DECALS. WE USUALLY BEND THE ANTENNA TUBE BACK AND LEAVE IT INSIDE
THE BODY TO KEEP IT FROM GETTING RIPPED OFF WHEN THE CAR FLIPS.WE SUGGEST ADDING A PIECE
OF MASKING TAPE OR DUCT TAPE TO THE INSIDE OF THE BODY AROUND THE MOUNTING HOLES TO REIN-
FORCE THE BODY AND KEEP THE PAINT FROM GETTING RUBBED OFF BY THE BATTERY OR BODY POST

TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS TIGHT. THE NEXT THING YOU NEED TO DO IS GO OUT AND HAVE SOME FUN
WITH YOUR DIGGER. BE CAREFUL RUNNING IT WITH OTHER PEOPLE AROUND OR OBJECTS THAT THE CAR
MAY DAMAGE. THE DIGGER IS BUILT TO TAKE A LOT OF PUNISHMENT , BUT CAN BE BROKEN IF RUN INTO
SOLID OBJECTS REPEATEDLY AT HIGH SPEED. STANDARD 1/10 PAN CAR BALL BEARINGS CAN BE ADD EAS-
ILY. (4 EA. 1/8 X 5/16 FLANGED FRONTS AND 2 EA. 1/4 X 3/8 FLANGED REARS)
