ROTF Sideways / Deadend Backback Fix / Mod

I KNOW this may be old news to some, so please don't bother telling me it is. : ) I've seen many pics of him where this feature was not taken advantage of, so I'm posting for those to find easily.

This isn't a mod, just something that isn't shown in the instructions, but is a cool hidden feature. It lowers the Deadend's / Sideways' backback to neck level, which allows the light piping to work better too!

The hood corners are hinges. Flip them up.


Then you can peg the backpack on the lower pegs.

Here's my video on how to do it.

Does anyone else have a problem with sideways? Whenever i take him back from robot mode to car mode, he is always...well... sideways....
His right front tire and left rear tire are kind of crooked and wont be able to touch the ground at the same time. Therefore, i have to kind of twist the whole car a bit to get to be able to hit the ground and roll properly. Sound familiar to anyone??
