General Precautions
• Read through the wet conditions maintenance procedures
and make sure that you have all the tools you will need to
properly maintain your vehicle.
• Not all batteries can be used in wet conditions. Consult the
battery manufacturer before use. Caution should be taken
when using Li-Po batteries in wet conditions.
• Most transmitters are not water-resistant. Consult your
transmitter’s manual or the manufacturer before operation.
• Never operate your transmitter or vehicle where lightning
may be present.
• Do not operate your vehicle where it could come in contact
with salt water (ocean water or water on salt-covered roads),
contaminated or polluted water. Salt water is very conductive
and highly corrosive, so use caution.
• Even minimal water contact can reduce the life of your motor
if it has not been certified as water-resistant or waterproof. If
the motor becomes excessively wet, apply very light throttle
until the water is mostly removed from the motor. Running a
wet motor at high speeds may rapidly damage the motor.
• Driving in wet conditions can reduce the life of the motor.
The additional resistance of operating in water causes excess
strain. Alter the gear ratio by using a smaller pinion or larger
spur gear. This will increase torque (and motor life) when
running in mud, deeper puddles, or any wet conditions that will
increase the load on the motor for an extended period of time.
Wet Conditions Maintenance
• Drain any water that has collected in the tires by spinning them
at high speed. With the body removed, place the vehicle upside
down and pull full throttle for a few short bursts until the water
has been removed.
CAUTION:
Always keep hands, fi ngers, tools and any
loose or hanging objects away from rotating parts when
performing the above drying technique.
• Remove the battery pack(s) and dry the contacts. If you have an
air compressor or a can of compressed air, blow out any water
that may be inside the recessed connector housing.
• Remove the tires/wheels from the vehicle and gently rinse
the mud and dirt off with a garden hose. Avoid rinsing the
bearings and transmission.
NOTICE:
Never use a pressure washer to clean your vehicle.
• Use an air compressor or a can of compressed air to dry
the vehicle and help remove any water that may have
gotten into small crevices or corners.
• Spray the bearings, drive train, fasteners and other metal
parts with a water-displacing light oil or lubricant. Do not
spray the motor.
• Let the vehicle air dry before you store it. Water (and oil)
may continue to drip for a few hours.
• Increase the frequency of disassembly, inspection and
lubrication of the following:
• Front and rear axle hub assembly bearings.
• All transmission cases, gears and differentials.
• Motor—clean with an aerosol motor cleaner and re-oil
the bushings with lightweight motor oil.
