TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Your ECX 1:18 Torment 4WD Short Course Truck needs periodic main-
tenance and cleaning to keep performing at its optimal level.
After each run:
1. Look over your vehicle to make sure there is no physical
damage that can impede the operation of your vehicle, such
as broken parts or tires that may have come unglued and
need repair.
2. If there are no defects or broken parts that need to be
repaired, completely wipe down the vehicle and body using
paper towels or shop towels. In hard to reach places, use a
toothbrush or a small brush to remove dirt or debris out of
the small areas that cannot be removed with a towel.
3. Screws can come loose over time and need to be
retightened. For screws fastening into plastic parts, make
sure they fit snugly but are not over tightened, which could
cause the plastic to strip out.
4. If you plan to store your vehicle for more than a week, it is a
good idea to remove the batteries from the radio and vehicle
to prevent any unexpected damage, such as corrosion, that
can result in costly repairs.
NOTICE: A small amount of current is constantly pulled from
the battery when it is plugged in, even with the power switch
turned to OFF. Always unplug your vehicle’s battery from the
ESC when not in use to prevent it from fully discharging.
5. Perform any other needed repairs to parts that may have
broken off the chassis. Driving a damaged vehicle will result
in costly and possibly irreparable damage to the vehicle.
