Maintenance
Belt and pullies
g
Check the belts after every run, for wear and if all teeth
are still in place, replace the belt in case teeth are missing.
Check the pullies for wear, dirt and clean as needed.
Shockabsorbers
g
Check for smooth operation of the shockabsorbers,
and check for airbubbles by pushing the shock up and
down fast after removal of the spring. Clean the
shockabsorbers as needed and refill with fresh 100%
pure silicone oil as needed.
Tyres
g
Replace tyres if case worn or damaged, and clean
the surface in case dirty to obtain better grip.
Wheel-axles and driveshaft front
g
Remove the wheels, and check the wheel-axles,
driveshafts and adaptors for dirt, play and pins.
Clean thoroughly as needed and lubricate
the touching parts with a small amount of grease.
Differential
g
Check the differential pulley for wear and dirt and
clean as needed. Check the functionning of the diff by
turning the wheels in opposite direction and feel if
still smooth or ‘gritty’. In case of gritty feel, the silicone
oil maybe needs replacement.
