Regular checks
Check:
The model and the transmitter for any visible damage
To be sure all the screw connections are tight; during operation, parts and screw connections may become
loosened through motor vibrations and shocks.
To be sure that all the turning/moving parts move smoothly;
Plug connections for contact and cables for secure installation
The snugness of the link lever and the servo arm on the servo shaft
The charging level of the transmitter and rechargeable drive batteries
The symmetric adjustment of the shock absorbers of one axle
The condition of the tyres
Regular work
Changing tyres
The tyres are glued onto the wheel rims at the factory to secure them from jumping off the wheel rims and from
slipping.
For this reason, in most cases the wheel realm also has to be changed when a tyre is changed.
Cleaning
After each trip, clean the model of dust and soiling with a rag and a brush, or use compressed air.
Also dry the vehicle thoroughly if you have driven on wet ground or in bad weather..
Pay special attention to the wheel bearings. Take the wheels off occasionally and clean the ball bearings of
dust and deposits.
Also clean the cooling ribs of the electric motor thoroughly.
Care
After each cleaning, the moving parts have to be re-lubricated.
Any oil or grease escaping has to be thoroughly removed, as otherwise dust would be able to deposit there
especially well.
Maintenance work on the motor
You should not carry out maintenance work on the motor yourself, but rather have this done by specialists if you
do not have the specialised knowledge and skills.
If you still want to work on the motor yourself, you will have to take it out to do so.
Pay attention to the sequence of the plug connections for putting it back in.
Check the running behaviour and the bearings of the motor by turning the motor shaft. If necessary, dismantle
the motor and carefully clean the parts and bearings with common commercially available brake cleaner. Re-
lubricate the bearings with ball bearing oil.
