Setup and Assembly
Follow the dedicated instruction manuals provided in the kit for step-by-step assembly of each model. The kit is designed for intuitive construction, and its parts are compatible with LEGO Technic components, allowing for expanded creativity.
Building the Models (Track Racer, Robot, Stunt Car)
Each model utilizes the same core electronic components but requires different block configurations. Refer to the specific manual for your chosen model (Model A: Track Racer, Model B: Robot, Model C: Stunt Car).
- Sort the building blocks by color and type to facilitate assembly.
- Carefully follow the visual instructions in the manual. Ensure all connections are secure.
- The models feature track vehicles, off-road shocks, and dual engines for dynamic movement.

Battery Installation and Charging
The core unit contains a rechargeable battery. The remote controller requires 3 AA batteries (included).
- Remote Controller: Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote controller. Insert 3 AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity. Close the compartment.
- Core Unit: Connect the provided USB charging cable to the charging port on the core unit. Plug the other end into a standard USB power source (e.g., computer, USB wall adapter). The indicator light will show charging status.
- Allow sufficient time for the core unit's battery to fully charge before first use.

Operating Instructions
Once your model is fully assembled and batteries are installed/charged, you are ready to operate your remote control vehicle.
Pairing the Remote Control
- Ensure the core unit's power switch is in the OFF position.
- Turn on the remote controller.
- Turn on the core unit. The unit should automatically pair with the remote controller. An indicator light on the core unit will confirm successful pairing.
Controlling Your Vehicle
The 2.4 GHz remote control provides responsive movement. Use the joysticks to control forward, backward, left, and right movements. Experiment with different terrains to observe the vehicle's performance.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a dry, soft cloth to clean the building blocks and electronic components. Do not use water or chemical cleaners.
- Storage: Store the kit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Disassemble models for long-term storage to prevent stress on connections.
- Track Care: The tracks are designed for durability but can be delicate. Ensure they are properly aligned and free from debris to prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle does not move. | Low battery in core unit or remote; not paired; loose connections. | Charge core unit, replace AA batteries in remote, re-pair, check all block connections. |
| Remote control range is limited. | Environmental interference; distance. | Operate in an open area, closer to the vehicle. |
| Tracks come off easily. | Improper assembly; excessive force during play. | Re-attach tracks carefully, ensure all links are secure. Avoid rough play that could dislodge them. |
| Missing pieces during assembly. | Packaging error; lost during sorting. | Double-check all packaging and sorting areas. Contact Kididdo customer support if pieces are genuinely missing. |
