HELPFUL HINTS 

  Avoid working over a deep pile carpet. If you drop a small part or screw,

it may be difficult to find.

  Place a mat or towel over your work area. This will prevent parts from rolling off and will protect the work surface.

  Avoid running the car in cold weather. The plastic and metal parts can become brittle at low temperatures. In addition, grease and 

oil become thick, causing premature wear and poor performance.

MAINTENANCE 

BEFORE EACH RUN 

  IMPORTANT: Check to make sure that all 

screws are tight. Check that the servo 
saver screw is fully tightened to ensure 
that your Dromida DB4.18 tracks straight.

  

Always check the condition of your 
radio system batteries and replace if 
necessary.

  

Check to make sure that all of the 
moving parts of the Dromida DB4.18 
move freely and do not bind.

  Turn on the radio and make sure the 

servo moves easily and in the proper 
direction.

  

Check for any broken or damaged 
parts. Replace them before running the 
Dromida DB4.18. Running the Dromida 
DB4.18 with broken or damaged parts 
could damage additional parts.

  Check to make sure that all wires are 

properly connected.

AFTER EACH RUN

  Clean any debris from the chassis and 

moving parts.

  Check for any broken or damaged parts. 

Replace them before the next run.

  

Disconnect and remove the battery 
from the chassis.

AFTER EVERY 10 RUNS

  Check to make sure that the bearings 

are free of dirt and debris, and roll 
smoothly.

  Check the shocks for oil leakage. 

  Check the tires to make sure they are 

still properly glued to the rims.
