11. Cleaning and Maintenance
a) General Information
Before cleaning or servicing, turn off the vehicle and completely separate the rechargeable battery pack
from the speed controller. If you have driven the vehicle before, let all parts (e.g. engine, speed controller,
etc.) cool down completely first.
Clean the whole vehicle after using it. Remove dust and dirt using e.g. a long-haired clean brush and a vacuum
cleaner. Compressed air aerosols may also be helpful.
Do not use cleaning aerosols or conventional household cleaners. This may damage the electronics and
lead to discolouration of the plastic parts or the body.
Never wash the vehicle with water, e.g. using a high-pressure cleaner. This will destroy the engine, speed
controller and receiver. The vehicle must not get damp or wet!
A soft, slightly moistened cloth can be used to wipe the vehicle body. Don’t rub too hard otherwise there will be scratch
marks or the paint will get damaged.
At appropriate intervals, you should perform maintenance work and function checks on the vehicle. This
ensures trouble-free operation and roadworthiness for a long time. Motor vibrations and shocks during
driving can loosen parts and screw fittings.
Therefore, check the following items before and after driving:
• The tight fit of wheel nuts and of all vehicle screw fittings;
• Fastening of speed controller and receiver
• Glue-connections of tyres and rums or tyre condition
• Attachment of all cables (they must not get into movable parts of the vehicle)
Also check the model for damage before each use. If you notice any damage, the car must not be used
anymore and has to be taken out of operation.
Where worn vehicle parts (e.g. tyres) or defective vehicle parts (e.g. a broken transverse link) must be
replaced, only original spare parts may be used.
All ball bearings and the gears of the vehicle have been properly lubricated by the manufacturer. Generally, relubrication
is not necessary.
Oil or grease
must not
be applied to the slip clutch!
Only use original spare parts to replace worn-out or defective vehicle parts.
Make sure that cables are not bent or squeezed and install all cables so that they do not get caught in the drive
mechanism.
Check the model for damage before every use. If you notice any damage, the vehicle must not be used anymore and
has to be taken out of operation.
