increase the maneuverability and functionality of your Creeper, making it even more of a threat to the competition out on the

rocks. Please read and follow these instructions carefully as there are several parts that you will need to re-use in the installa-

tion of the Dig Unit. If you have any questions during installation, please contact your local hobby shop or feel free to call our

NOTE: Use a Non-Petroleum

based grease to avoid damage

to plastic parts.
