7. Carefully fit the wheels to the axles (two wheels to each axle).
8. Fit the connector block in the centre of the base as shown and carefully connect the wiring harness to the motors. You will need help with this so wait until you are shown how to do it correctly. (The motors can be easily damaged). 9. Fit the top in place with two nuts and bolts.

10. Pass the wiring harness through the large hole in the centre of the Top Plate and fit the aerial rod through the small hole and attach the wiring harness to the pole with tape.
11. The control panel must now be assembled and fitted to the other end of the wiring harness. This must be done with very great care as the switches and the board can be easily damaged with overheating from the soldering iron, so wait for instructions.
