WHEN YOU ARE  FINISHED

•  Prolong motor life by preventing overheating conditions. 

Overheating results from using a pinion gear that is too large, 
frequent turns, stops and starts, pushing objects, driving in 
water and tall grass, and driving continuously up hill.

•  Over-temperature protection is installed on the ESC to prevent 

circuit damage, but cannot protect the motor from driving 
against heavy resistance.

1. Disconnect the battery, or  batteries, 

from the Electronic Speed Control (ESC)

2. Power OFF the transmitter.

3. Remove the battery, or batteries, from the vehicle.

4. Recharge the battery, or batteries.

MAINTENANCE

SHOCK CLEANING

Oil-fi lled shocks will require regular maintenance due to the oil breaking down or getting dirty. This maintenance should be performed 
after about every 3 to 5 hours of use, depending on the conditions that the vehicle is used in.

•  Remove the shock from the vehicle. 
•  Remove the cap from the shock body and dispose of fluid. 
•  Disassemble the shock. Clean thoroughly with DYN5505. Dry parts before assembly. 
•  Re-assemble the shock and refill the shock body with silicone fluid (80 weight recommended).
•  Slowly move the shaft and piston up and down to remove air bubbles.
•  Move the piston to the midway point of the body and install the cap.
•  Wipe off any overflowing fluid. 
•  When properly filled, the piston should rebound about 3/8 in (9.5mm) after being pushed in fully. 
•  Re-install the shock on the vehicle.
