I think if you can assemble this, you can assemble about any vintage RC car, right? ;-)
Yes - it does seem that it would be impossible to get the wire/buttons to slide over the 90deg bend - but you kinda have to rotate the wire with a little more force than seems comfortable - but they do go! - once you get the hang of it, it actually is quite an easy assembly!
