Take a (preferably black) female jumper cable, and cut it right behind the connector (only one side): pic.In this step we're going to connect the new electronics to the motors and battery.įirst, we have to cut and tin the GND wire going to the WiFi module:

Now, using your cutting pliers, cut the plastic antenna pole to make room for the WiFi module in the front (pic.Once you have desoldered the wires from the board, remove the last screw (pic.The thin wires are just connected to the leds, so you can just cut them from the board if you don't feel like desoldering them.(You can apply a tiny bit of your solder (from the spool) to help melt the contacts faster).Using your soldering iron, very carefully desolder the motor wires (the thick wires) from the control board (pic.Remove the antenna by removing the first screw (center of the antenna), then the second one (see picture 3).You should now see the inside of the car (picture 2) with RC/drive electronics on the back, the two motors in the middle and the antenna going to the front. Then, remove the four screws (picture 1) on the bottom, flip the car, and lift carefully the grey cover (car's body) Disconnect the battery and put it in charge (with the supplied charger of course).The cover should pop out and reveal the battery compartment.Put the car on its back and twist the two black ''knobs'' or ''bars'' (see picture 1).Plug in your soldering iron, allowing it to heat up during this stepįirst, before doing any modifications, we have to disconnect and remove the battery (bonus: you can charge it while following the tutorial and you'll be able to play right away): In this step we are going to remove the original control and drive electronics (FM) of the car.
