How to Install Wheelie Bar on HP141/HP141S RC Car

Quick Answer

Installing the wheelie bar on your HP141/HP141S is straightforward: remove the rear body clip, align the wheelie bar assembly (part 14120) with the chassis holes, and secure it with the included screws. This guide walks you through each step and highlights common pitfalls.

Installation Steps

1. Prepare the RC car: Place the car on a flat, stable surface and remove the rear body clip to lift the body shell, giving you access to the rear chassis area. Ensure the car is powered off to prevent accidental movement.
2. Position the wheelie bar: Align the wheelie bar assembly (part 14120) with the designated mounting holes on the rear chassis. The bar should sit symmetrically, with the wheels pointing downward. Check that the holes line up before inserting any screws—forcing them can strip the threads.
3. Secure the assembly: Insert the screws and tighten them evenly with a screwdriver. Avoid over-tightening, which can crack the chassis or strip the screw holes. Turn each screw until snug, then give a quarter turn more—no need for excessive force.
4. Reattach the body shell: Lower the body shell back into place and secure it with the rear body clip. Ensure the wheelie bar does not interfere with the body or rear wheels. Spin the rear wheels manually to confirm clearance before running the car.
5. Test the wheelie bar: Perform a low-speed test run and try a gentle wheelie to verify the wheelie bar engages correctly and the car stays stable. If the wheelie bar wobbles or makes contact with the body, recheck the alignment and tightness.
