Maintenance
Lube the gears inside the Tiger drive with
waterproof grease every 30 hours of use.
Check all screws for tightness after each run.
Lubrication
It is important to lubricate the flex shaft
of the Formula FASTech with silicone cable
grease after every two hours of operation.
Do not forget to do this or flex shaft damage
can occur. You can purchase this silicone
grease at your local hobby store (PRB0100 or
PRB0101). To lubricate the drive shaft, follow
these simple instructions.
1. Carefully note how the drive shaft and
prop are presently installed. This is
important so that when you have finished
lubricating the drive shaft, you can
correctly re-install it.
Make sure the radio is "ON". Test the radio
system for proper operation and then
carefully place the boat in the water. Pilot
the boat at slow speeds, staying close to
the shoreline to ensure you have good
control and that the boat is functioning
correctly. Be certain to avoid all objects in
the water at all times.
Once you feel comfortable with the control of
your boat, it is safe to go further away from
the shoreline and at faster speeds.
Testing Your Boat in the Water
Leave a 1mm-2mm
gap here to allow for
flexshaft shrinkage
under load.
