MAINTAINING YOUR MODEL
Your model requires timely maintenance in order to stay in top
running condition.
The following procedures should be taken
very seriously.
Frequently 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(s) and
speed control.
6. Check the tightness of the wheel nuts 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. Check the operation of the steering servo and ensure that it is
not binding.
10. Inspect the gears for wear, broken teeth, or debris lodged
between the teeth.
11. Check the tightness of the slipper clutch.
Other periodic maintenance:
•
Slipper clutch pads
(friction material):
Under normal use,
the friction material
in the slipper clutch
should wear very
slowly. If the thickness of
any one of the slipper clutch pads
is 1.8mm or less, the friction disc should
be replaced. Measure the pad thickness
using calipers or measuring against the diameter
of the 1.5 and 2.0mm hex wrenches provided with the model.
• 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 turnbuckles, loose
screws, and any signs of stress or bending. Replace components
as needed.
• Steering : Over time, you may notice increased looseness in
the steering system. The tie rod ends may wear out from use
(Traxxas Parts #2742 and #5525). Replace these components as
needed to restore factory tolerances.
• 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 #7463.
• Driveline : Inspect the driveline for signs of wear, such as worn
drive yokes, dirty axle half shafts, and any unusual noise or
binding. If a U-joint pops apart then it is time to replace the part.
Remove the gear cover. Inspect the spur gear for wear and check
the tightness of the set screws in the pinion gears. 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.
Always wear eye protection
when using compressed
air or spray cleaners and
lubricants.
High-performance vehicles
generate small vibrations
while driving. These
vibrations may loosen
hardware over time and
require attention. Always
check your wheel nuts and
other hardware and tighten
or replace when necessary.
