It looks from the pictures that there are 4 screws for holding the case together, but look like "tamper-proof" types. I tend to find those to be more "tamper-resistant", and can be backed out with the right tool.

Have fun tearing it apart to see what makes it tick.

Finally, I found no explanation on any of the pages about this controller -- why does it look to have two sets of igniter leads? Or maybe the picture was misleading, does it have 3 clips on the positive, and a single clip on the negative, for clusters?



The instructions (which do not download properly for me from the Estes website, but I have a printed copy at home that came with the controller) show you how to use the twin set of clips for one to 4 motor ignition.
