vehicle and disassembled to change/replace oil. Follow the steps
below to access and refill the differential. Refer to the exploded views
in the included Service and Support Guide for reference. The required
tools are included with your model:
1. Remove the right wheel and left wheel using the 7mm socket
on the 4-way wrench.
2. Remove the wheel hex and hex pin from both sides.
3. Remove the four screws on the right side spur gear cover using
the 2mm “T” wrench.
4. Pull the differential assembly out (this includes the internal
differential housing and two driveshafts).
5. Remove the four screws from the left-hand side of the internal
differential housing using the 2mm “T” wrench.
6. Once all four screws are removed, pull the two differential
housing halves apart. Be sure to keep the gasket seal for the
two halves.
7. Clean out existing differential fluid.
8. Fill the right side of the differential housing with the new fluid.
9. Install the gasket, making sure it is free of any dirt or debris.
10. Install the left side of the housing and make sure all gears are
meshed and driveshafts are rotating properly.
11. Install four screws through the left side and tighten using
the 2mm “T” wrench.
12. Re-install the differential housing and two driveshafts, ensuring
the internal and external bearings are seated properly.
13. Re-install the right side cover, drive hex pins, drive hexes,

CENTERING YOUR SERVO
If you have removed the servo horn from your model’s steering
servo, or the servo has been removed for service or cleaning, the
servo must be re-centered prior to installation of the servo horn or
installation of the servo in the model.
1. Remove the servo horn from the steering servo.
2. Connect the steering servo to Channel 1 on the receiver. Connect
the electronic speed control (ESC) to Channel 2. The white wire on
the servo lead is positioned towards the receiver’s LED.
3. Turn the transmitter power switch on. Make certain the
transmitter’s batteries are not depleted.
4. Turn the transmitter’s steering trim knob to the center
“0” position.
5. Disconnect the black and white motor wires to prevent the motor
from turning during the next steps. Connect a fresh battery pack
to the speed control. The servo’s output shaft will automatically
jump to its center position.
6. Install the servo horn onto the servo output shaft. The servo horn
should face toward the center of the chassis and be perpendicular
to the servo body.
7. Check servo operation by turning the steering wheel back and
forth to ensure that the mechanism has been centered properly
and you have equal throw in both directions. Use the transmitter’s
steering trim knob to fine-tune the position of the servo horn so
the model tracks straight when the steering wheel is at neutral.
