Remove the motor, clean with aerosol
motor cleaner, and re-oil the bushings with
lightweight electric motor oil. Be sure to wear eye
protection when using spray aerosol cleaners.
MAINTAINING YOUR MODEL
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 for leaks and proper 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 and clean the motor
by wiping away accumulated dirt and debris from
around the motor shaft bushing on the pinion gear
side of the motor.Use a product such as electric motor
cleaning spray to lush 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.
•
Shocks
: Keep the oil level in the shocks full. Use only
100% pure silicone shock oil to prolong the life of the
seals. If you are experiencing leakage around the top of
the shock, inspect the bladder in the top cap for signs of
damage or distortion from overtightening. If the bottom
of the shock is leaking, then it is time for a rebuild. The
Traxxas rebuild kit for two shocks is part #7662.
•
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.
