Maintenance
●
Shockabsorbers
Check for smooth operation of the shockabsorbers, and check for
airbubbles by pushing the shock up and down fast after removal
of the spring. Clean the shockabsorbers as needed and refill with
fresh 100% pure silicone oil as needed.
●
Tyres
Replace tyres if case worn or damaged, and clean the surface in
case dirty to obtain better grip.
●
Wheel-axles and driveshafts
Remove the wheels, and check the wheel-axles, driveshafts and
pins. Clean thoroughly as needed and lubricate the touching
parts with a small amount of grease or oil.
●
Differential
Check the differentials and gears for wear and dirt and clean as
needed. Check the functionning of the diff by turning the wheels
in opposite direction and feel if still smooth or ‘gritty’. In case of
gritty feel, the silicone oil may need replacement.
