MAINTAINING YOUR MODEL
Your model requires timely maintenance in order to stay in
top running condition. The following procedures should be
taken very seriously.
Inspect the vehicle for obvious damage or wear.
Look for:
1. Cracked, bent, or damaged parts
2. Check the wheels and steering for binding.
3. Check for leaks and proper operation of the
shock absorbers.
4. Check the wiring for any frayed wires or loose
connections.
5. Check the mounting of the receiver and servo and speed
control.
6. Check the tightness of the wheel hex bolts with
a wrench.
7. Check the operation of the radio system, especially the
condition of the batteries.
8. Check for any loose screws in the chassis structure or
suspension.
9. Inspect the gears for wear, broken teeth, or debris lodged
between the teeth.
10. Check the tightness of all the pivot balls.
Other periodic maintenance:
•
Motor
: Every 10-15 runs, remove and clean the motor by
wiping away accumulated dirt and debris from around the
motor shaft bushing on the pinion gear side of the motor.
Use a product such as electric motor cleaning spray to
flush dirt out of the motor. After cleaning, lubricate the
bushings at each end of the motor with a drop of light-
weight electric motor oil.
•
Chassis
: Keep the chassis clean of accumulated dirt and
grime. Periodically inspect the chassis for damage.
•
Shocks
: Keep the oil level in the shocks full. Use only
100% pure silicone shock oil to prolong the life of the
seals. If you are experiencing leakage around the top of
the shock, inspect the bladder in the top cap for signs of
damage or distortion from overtightening. If the bottom
of the shock is leaking, then it is time for a rebuild. The
Traxxas rebuild kit for two shocks is part #7662.
•
Suspension
: Periodically inspect the model for signs
of damage such as bent or dirty suspension pins, bent
camber links, loose screws, and any signs of stress or
bending. Replace components as needed.
•
Driveline
: Inspect the driveline for signs of wear such as
worn drive yokes, dirty axle driveshafts, and any unusual
noise or binding. Remove the gear cover, inspect the
spur gear for wear, and check the tightness of the set
screw in the pinion gear. Tighten, clean, or replace
components as needed.

Always wear eye protection when using compressed air
or spray cleaners and lubricants.
