1.  It is important to remove and 

lubricate the drive wire after a day 
of running. Make sure the battery 
pack is unplugged. To lubricate the 
wire you will need:

 

• 1.5mm Allen wrench

 

• GrimRacer Cable Grease

 • 

Paper 

Towels

2.  Using a 1.5mm Allen wrench, loosen the set screws holding the drive 

wire to the motor coupler. It is important to note that there are two set 
screws holding the wire in position.

3.  Slip the wire out the back of the 

boat. Wipe off any grease and 
water that might be on the wire.

4.  Using the GrimRacer speed grease, apply a small amount to the wire 

and slide it back into the boat. Be careful to align the wire to the hole 
in the end of the motor coupler.

5.  Leave about 1/16” [2mm] gap 

between the front of the drive dog 
and the back of the shaft tube.

6.  Tighten the set screws to hold the wire in place. Do not over tighten 

the set screws. It is also a good idea to tighten one screw lightly and 
then the other. Go back and forth between the screws to keep even 
tension on the drive wire.
