9. Additional Maintenance : Increase your frequency of disassembly,
inspection, and lubrication of the following items. This is
necessary after extended wet use or if the vehicle will not be
used for an extended period of time (such as a week or longer).
This additional maintenance is needed to prevent any trapped
moisture from corroding internal steel components.
• Stub axle housing bearings : Remove, clean, and re-oil the
bearings.
• Differentials : Remove, disassemble, clean, and re-grease the
differential components. Use a light coating of wheel bearing
grease (from an auto parts store) on the metal gear teeth. Refer
to your exploded view diagrams for help with disassembly and
reassembly.
• Velineon motor : After operating your model in wet or muddy
conditions, remove the motor and clean any mud or dirt from
the bearings. To access the rear bearing, remove the plastic cap
with thumb pressure, or gently pry the cap off with a flat-blade
screwdriver. To prevent corrosion and assure maximum bearing
life, lubricate the bearings with a light oil (available at your local
hobby store). Following these steps will extend motor life and
maintain peak performance. Be sure to wear eye protection
when using spray aerosol cleaners.
RECEIVER BOX: MAINTAINING A WATERTIGHT SEAL
Removing and Installing Radio Gear
The unique design of the receiver box allows the removal and
installation of the receiver without losing the ability to maintain a
watertight seal in the box. The patent-pending wire clamp feature
gives you the ability to also install aftermarket radio systems and
maintain the watertight features of the receiver box.
Removing the Receiver
1. To remove the cover, remove the two 3x8mm button-head
cap screws.
2. To remove the receiver from the box, carefully pull it out (it is
secured by servo tape) and set to the side. The antenna wire is
still inside the clamp area and cannot be removed yet.
3. Remove the wire clamp by removing the two 2.5x8mm
cap screws.
4. Unplug the servo cables from the receiver and remove
the receiver.
Receiver Installation
1. Always install the wires into the receiver
box before installing the receiver.
2. Install the antenna wire and the servo
cables into the receiver box.
3. Arrange the wires neatly using the
wire guides in the receiver box (A). The
excess wire will be bundled inside the receiver
box. Label which wire is for which channel.
4. Apply a small bead of silicone grease
(part #1647) to the wire clamp (B).
5. Install the wire clamp and tighten the
two 2.5x8mm cap screws securely.
6. Using double-sided adhesive foam tape,
install the receiver into the box and plug
the wires into the receiver (C). Refer to
page 11 for the wiring diagram.
Note: For best performance, it is recommended that the receiver
be installed in the original orientation as shown.
7. Make sure the box light pipe is aligned with the receiver LED.
Make sure the O-ring is properly seated into the groove in the
receiver box so that the cover will not pinch it or damage it in any
way.
8. Install the cover and tighten the two 3x8mm button-head cap
screws securely.
9. Inspect the cover to make sure that the O-ring seal is not visible.
