CARE AND MAINTENANCE...

General Care:

• Always use clean, dry cloth or so bristle brush to clean your equipment

• Never use chemical cleansers to avoid damage to the sensive electronics and plascs

Maintenance:

We want you to enjoy your product to its fullest potenal. For this to happen it is important to keep your

product clean and properly maintained. Lack of cleaning and maintenance can cause component failure. For

best and connued performance from your product it is recommended to briey inspect your product for

damage every few runs. Typically, a good me to do this is when changing the baery or while it is charging.

If a problem is discovered, stop use immediately and seek repairs. Connued use of failed components can

cause more unnecessary damage to your product. Always remember to use genuine replacement parts from

your local hobby dealer. Below is a list of items for inspecon. Inspecon should not be limited to this list; if

you noce any problem, listed or not, it is recommended to give it proper aenon

1. Electronics: The electronics included in your vehicle are not waterproof. It is crical that they be kept

away from moisture and that any moisture noced on or around them be immediately cleaned up

a. Antenna: To achieve full operang range with your radio system, it is crical that the receiver

antenna be installed properly and undamaged

i. Inspect any exposed antenna for cuts or abrasions

ii. Ensure there are no kinks in the antenna or antenna tube

iii. Never fold the end of the antenna over the tube, this will reduce the range and damage the

antenna

2. Gears: Periodically remove the gear cover to inspect the gears and ensure there is no debris in the gear

compartment

a. Proper gear mesh seng is crucial for proper operaon and life of gears in your product. It is

important to have the pinion gear (aached to motor) as close to the spur gear (aached to drive

sha) as possible yet while providing a minimal amount of backlash. Backlash is the rotaon one

gear has to make before contacng the other. Having the gear mesh set too ght will cause excess

load on the electrical components and may cause premature failure. Having gear mesh set too

loose will cause excess wear and possible skipping of teeth during operaon thus causing excess

wear and premature failure

b. Checking the gear mesh

i. Remove the spur gear cover

ii. Press downward on the top deck close to the spur gear to hold in place

iii. Check how much movement is allowed of the spur gear before the pinion gear moves (this is

purely by feel, not visual)

iv. If the spur gear is allowed to move more than a very small amount, or if it there is no

backlash, the gear mesh must be adjusted

v. Seng the gear mesh

01). Loosen the two screws on the boom of the chassis the hold the motor in place

02). Slide motor all the way to the spur gear, so there is no backlash

03). Move back slightly and hold the motor snugly in posion while reghtening the

boom screws

04). Re-check the gear mesh and adjust again if necessary

vi. Re-install the spur gear cover

WARNING: Never operate your vehicle with the spur gear cover removed. Severe injury, damage to

electrical components, and excessive wear and tear on drivetrain may result.
