Maintenance
Shockabsorbers
- 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
- Replace tyres if case worn or damaged, and clean the surface
in case dirty to obtain better grip.
Wheel-axles and driveshafts
- 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 or oil.
Differentials
- Check the differentials and gears 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 may need replacement.
