Troubleshooting
⚠ Battery holder or wires getting hot
Stop at once. This almost always means the two wires from the battery holder are touching each other or a metal part (a short circuit). Do not touch them with bare hands. Once everything has cooled, an adult should take the batteries out, separate the red and black wires, cover any bare wire ends with tape and check that no bare metal is touching before trying again. Read the battery safety guide.
Something isn’t working
Re-check the battery orientation and that every connection is firmly seated. Then watch the relevant video above from the start.

The build won’t stay together
Watch the assembly video above for the locking step.
⚠ Battery safety: never let the battery holder wires touch
If the two wires from the battery holder touch each other, or touch anything metal, while the batteries are inside, the batteries are short-circuited. The wires and batteries can get very hot within seconds, melt, burn fingers and even start a fire.
- Put the batteries in last, only after the model is fully built and an adult has checked the connections.
- Keep the red and black wire ends apart at all times, and away from foil, coins, keys, scissors, paper clips and other metal.
- Take the batteries out before changing any connection, and as soon as you finish playing.
- Cover bare wire ends with tape whenever the battery holder is not connected to the model.
- Never leave a connected model unattended, or on a bed, sofa, carpet or near paper.
- Use only the battery type shown in the manual. Do not mix old and new batteries, and never try to recharge ordinary batteries.
If the battery holder, wires or batteries get hot, smell of burning or smoke: stop, do not touch them with bare hands, and move everyone away. An adult should switch off or disconnect the model and take the batteries out only once everything has cooled. If there are flames, keep everyone away and call emergency services. If a battery is swallowed, get medical help immediately.
Adult supervision is required for every build that uses batteries.
