Your model requires timely maintenance in order to stay in
top running condition. The following procedures should be
taken very seriously.
Inspect the vehicle for obvious damage or wear.
Look for:
1. Cracked, bent, or damaged parts
2. Check the wheels and steering for binding.
3. Check the operation of the shock absorbers.
4. Check the wiring for any frayed wires or loose
connections.
5. Check the mounting of the receiver and servo and
speed control.
6. Check the tightness of the wheel hex bolts with
a wrench.
7. Check the operation of the radio system, especially
the condition of the batteries.
8. Check for any loose screws in the chassis structure or
suspension.
9. Inspect the gears for wear, broken teeth, or debris
lodged between the teeth.
10. Check the tightness of all the pivot balls.
Other periodic maintenance:
•
Motor
: Every 10-15 runs, remove, clean, and lubricate
the motor. Use a product such as electric motor
cleaning spray to flush dirt out of the motor. After
cleaning, lubricate the bushings at each end of the
motor with a drop of light-weight electric motor oil.
•
Chassis
: Keep the chassis clean of accumulated dirt
and grime. Periodically inspect the chassis for damage.
•
Suspension
: Periodically inspect the model for signs
of damage such as bent or dirty suspension pins, bent
camber links, loose screws, and any signs of stress or
bending. Replace components as needed.
•
Driveline
: Inspect the driveline for signs of wear such
as worn drive yokes, dirty axle driveshafts, and any
unusual noise or binding. Remove the gear cover,
inspect the spur gear for wear, and check the tightness
of the set screw in the pinion gear. Tighten, clean, or
replace components as needed.
Storage
When you are through running the model for the day, blow
it off with compressed air or use a soft bristled paint brush
to dust-off the vehicle. Always disconnect and remove the
battery from the model whenever the model is stored. If
the model will be stored for a long time, then also remove
the batteries from the transmitter.
