    • Flip the car over again to its upright position and vertically lift the shell from the car.

    • During re-assembly, make sure the shell is correctly aligned. If it is not aligned correctly, it may rub on the wheels, possibly preventing them from turning.

    • Using a small plastic opening tool, gently pry the clips to release the tabs on the circuit board casing. The clips can be located above where the rear wheels used to be.

    • Lift the clips just enough to release them from the tabs. If they are pried too far, they may snap off.

    • There is a clear gear grease inside the enclosure.
