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.
