Maintenance
To ensure that you get the maximum enjoyment from this product and a good service life, RCMAX
recommends that you take a little time to clean the engine and vehicle after use.
It is easy to spot a little problem such as a loose bolt on an engine mount before it becomes a much
bigger problem.
It is absolutely essential that only the best quality fully synthetic two-stroke oil is used.
We
recommend Putoline RS959 or Motal 800 but there are lots of great products on the market. (please ask
if you are unsure)
This must be mixed at a fuel/oil ratio of 25:1. Only good quality 95+ Octane must be used to prevent the
possibility of detonation or seizure. We recommend using an additive called Tetraboost with your fuel for
the ultimate in reliability. (or run a two-stroke friendly leaded race fuel such as VP C12.)
The best type of air filter to use with the engine is the quality dual stage RAM-AIR filter and should be kept
oiled for best performance. The filter is very effective at keeping the engine clean internally even when run
in dusty conditions. Regular cleaning and re-oiling is required to keep air filtration at its best. The use of an
water resistant Outerwears protective element is recommended for filtering out large debris.
Paper element filters can be used but should be of the highest spec, such as that supplied in the past,
and should be run dry and kept clean with regular checks
Please ensure that your fuel equipment, and fuel system of the vehicle is kept in a clean condition.
Dirt can play havoc with carburettors leading to much frustration and little fun. Please make sure your
vehicle in-tank fuel filter is in good working order.
Due to the size of these engines, they tend to offer a longer service life from the piston and ring than you
may be used to with traditional tuned RC engines. This will depend on how you use it and look after it but
its not unusual for a well maintained RCMAX to go years between rebuilds.
If you are unsure about carrying out a rebuild, we are more than happy to do it for you for a small charge plus
parts.
Please contact RCMAX for advice, or service, if you are in any doubt.
