Follow this step-by-step guide to install the Baghera Speedster Plane rear wings. Get tips on alignment, screw tightening, and avoiding common mistakes.
Quick answer
Align the rear wings with the pre-drilled holes on the Speedster Plane body, then secure them using the provided screws and a Phillips-head screwdriver. Tighten until snug but not over-torqued.
Before you start: what you need
You will need a Phillips-head screwdriver and the new rear wings set. The Baghera Speedster Plane rear wings come as a set of two, designed as exact replacements for the original parts. No additional tools or adhesives are required.
Work on a flat, stable surface with good lighting. If the ride-on is assembled, you may want to turn it on its side for easier access to the rear mounting area. Avoid using power tools, as they can strip the plastic or over-tighten the screws.
Why correct alignment matters
The rear wings not only complete the look of the Speedster Plane but also help maintain the structural integrity of the rear section. Misaligned wings can cause uneven pressure on the mounting points, leading to cracks or loose fit over time.
Take a moment to check that both wings are oriented correctly—the curved edge should face outward and upward, matching the contour of the car body. If the wings seem to resist fitting, do not force them; re-check the orientation.
Installation steps
- 1. Prepare the mounting area: Remove any debris or old screws from the rear wing mounting points on the Speedster Plane body. If old wings are still attached, unscrew and remove them first. Check that the mounting holes are clean and free of plastic burrs.
- 2. Align the first wing: Hold the left rear wing against the corresponding mounting holes on the car body. The wing's curved edge should follow the body contour. Insert the first screw by hand to avoid cross-threading. Do not fully tighten any screw until all screws for that wing are started.
- 3. Secure the first wing: Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, tighten each screw in a crisscross pattern. Stop when the screw head is flush with the wing surface—do not overtighten, as plastic can crack. Overtightening is the most common mistake; snug is enough.
- 4. Repeat for the second wing: Align and secure the right rear wing following the same steps. Ensure both wings sit symmetrically and at the same height. Step back and visually compare both wings before final tightening.
- 5. Final check: Gently wiggle each wing to confirm it is firmly attached. If any screw feels loose, tighten it slightly. Re-check after the first few rides, as vibration can loosen new installations. A periodic re-tightening after play keeps the wings secure.
