MAINTAINING YOUR MODEL

Your model requires timely maintenance in order to stay in top running condition. The following procedures should be taken very seriously.

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.Inspect the gears for wear, broken teeth, or debris lodged between the teeth.

10.Check the tightness of the slipper clutch.

11.Check the tightness of the front pivot balls.

the spur gear and pressure plate for wear or damage and replace if necessary.

Motor: Every 10-15 runs, remove, clean, and lubricate the motor. Use a product such as electric motor cleaning spray to flush dirt out of the motor. After cleaning, lubricate the bushings at each end of the motor with a drop of light-weight electric motor oil.

Chassis: Keep the chassis clean of accumulated dirt and grime. Periodically inspect the chassis for damage.

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 #7062.

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.

Driveline: Inspect the driveline for signs of wear such as worn drive yokes, dirty axle half shafts, and any unusual noise or binding. Remove the gear cover and Inspect the spur gear for wear and check the tightness of 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.
