2. Prepare the Rig: The big rig truck comes in two main sections (red cab and blue trailer). These sections can be connected or separated depending on the desired play configuration.
3. Attach Ramps: The yellow ramp pieces can be attached to various points on the rig and trailer to create different race tracks or loading/unloading ramps. Experiment with different block placements to create varied ramp heights and angles.
