3. Setup and Assembly

The Stunt Crash Box is designed for easy assembly and multiple configurations. Follow these general steps for setting up your track:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all track pieces, stunt components, and the Hot Wheels car from the storage box.

3. Connect Track Pieces: Use the track-connectors to link the longer and shorter track pieces. Ensure a secure fit for smooth car movement.
4. Integrate Stunt Components: Attach the ramp, flippers, barricades, popper gate, and popper to the track as per your desired stunt setup. Experiment with their placement to achieve different effects.
5. Position Launcher and Catch Cup: Place the launcher at the start of your track and the catch cup at the end, or strategically within the track for specific stunts.
