In the kit there is a small package with some mounting hardware. We have
prepared and included this special "last-aid-package" for the times when you might
loose some of the smaller hardware, either during assembly or when racing. We
know how distracting that situation can be, especially when you want to keep
focused on properly preparing your T1 for the track. This package contains a few
spare pieces of each fastener and clip used on your T1 that should help you if you
get caught in that situation.

In  an  extreme  crash,  the  front  wheel
axle  may  get  pressed  out,  which  will
make it hard to disassemble the wheel
axle  and  exchange  it,  because  the
assembly  will  be  recessed  inside  the
steering block.
If  this  happens,  support  the  two  pivot
holes  a  few  centimeters  off  the  table
with metal or wood blocks, and let the
hex axle point down towards the table.

Then use a small hammer to tap on the
end of the drive shaft (you may want to
first remove the plastic blade) until the
axle and bearing assembly can be
easily removed from the steering block.

Use a file to remove any material from
the axle that was pressed out along with
the axle assembly.

Check the pivot ball joints. Remove any excess play by tightening

the aluminum adjustment plugs. If they are binding, loosen the plug slightly. If
loosening the plug does not free up the action, take it out and clean the whole
assembly (pivot ball, cup, plug, and upright).

If you have any play (side-to-side, or lateral

play; this doesn't refer to the 'looseness' of the ball cup) in these parts, you need to
replace the plastic part so you get a more responsive suspension setup.

Freely rotating bearings are one of the most important factors in

getting maximum performance from a car's drive train. Be especially sure that the
bearings in the steering blocks and rear uprights, as well as the bearings
supporting the ball diffs, are perfectly clean and rotate freely. Check all the
bearings, including the one-way bearing, for wear.
Use light machine oil on the ball-bearings, and special one-way bearing oil on the
one-way bearing. If they start to feel gritty, they should be cleaned with motor spray
and then lubricated with a light oil. If they still feel gritty after being cleaned and
lubricated, or if the bearing races develop play, they will need to be replaced.

Between every run, carefully inspect the brushes to ensure that they move

freely in the brush hood. Do this by removing the spring and sliding the brush in
and out of the hood. If the action is not smooth, remove the brush and wipe it
clean. This will help ensure that the brush gets proper contact with the commutator.
Also after every run, remove the brushes from the hoods and examine the brush
face for wear and/or burning. If there is noticeable wear, replace them with a fresh
pair. If the tip is a purple or blue color, that means they have been overheated and
burnt. Burnt brushes have more resistance that fresh ones, so be sure to replace
them if they are burnt.

About every other run they should be thoroughly cleaned. Spray the motor cleaner
directly on the commutator area through the brush hoods. Spray in short bursts
until the runoff is clear and clean. After cleaning, apply a small amount of
lightweight oil to each bushing or bearing for lubrication. Be careful not to apply
too much oil, for this will pick up dirt and contaminate the commutator and
brushes. Around every ten runs, we recommend rebuilding the motor by cutting
the commutator. If you have a motor with low winds and high-capacity batteries,
we recommend cutting the commutator more often. We recommend using lathes
from the R/C accessory manufacturer with the highest quality - H

wss:: When assembling or rebuilding your T1, if you find that a screw has

an eccentric or defective head, exchange it for the same type in the "last-aid-
package". If you mount the eccentric screw on the chassis instead of exchanging
or replacing it, the screw might tweak the chassis and negatively influence the
car's handling.
