Hull and track assembly

Snips, Glue, scraper a thin poke/screwdriver and Silicone Spray are recommended

Remove all supports with extra care taken around the axels; they are strengthened but are still a weak point. Make sure to clear the channels.  

Then glue the hull halves together with help of the alignment squares, maybe a clamp or a few heavy books.(optional)

 To get the tracks to spin better cycle them as many times as possible with your finger 30-50 times. Silicone spray will help in the channels and rear axels. 

 The tracks will not spin on smooth surfaces like marble or metal
