4. Rotate the spur gear (turn the tires) to feed the paper out of the mesh,

re-check the gear mesh and adjust again if necessary.

5. Re-install the spur gear cover when the mesh is properly set.

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.

Shocks

Periodically inspect the shocks for smooth motion, leaking oil and dirt residue

build up around the shaft or caps. Do not allow dirt to build up around the

shock shaft and bottom of the shock. Doing so will reduce the life of the

shock and cause a shock to leak oil. Be sure to clean the shocks regularly

with a clean and dry soft bristle brush and/or rag.

CAUTION: NEVER USE SPRAY CLEANERS TO CLEAN YOUR SHOCKS, DOING SO CAN

CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SEALS, CAUSING THEM TO LEAK MORE AND REDUCE THE

LIEF AND PERFORMANCE OF YOUR SHOCKS.

Signs to look out for determining if your shock needs to be maintained or

rebuilt.

• Oil around the shaft means the oil leaked from inside and needs to be

replaced.

• Persistent oil around the shock shaft or lower portion of the shock

typically points to damaged O-rings which will need replacing. See your

local hobby dealer for replacement parts.

Relling your shocks:

1. Remove shock from vehicle, remove spring and top cap. Remove the

bleed screw from the cap.

2. With shock shaft extended, add oil to top of body (use only 100% silicone

oil) and reinstall the shock cap. Be sure the o-ring stays “seated” and

does not squeeze out.

3. Slowly compress the shock shaft 100% of travel using a towel or paper

napkin to clean up overowed oil, then reinstall the bleed screw. Do not

over-tighten.

4. Check for free motion of shock. If the shock feels like it gets stiffer at the

end of compression, there is too much oil or air. Compress the shaft and

remove the bleed screw slowly to allow excess air/oil to come out, then

reinstall the screw.

5. It is normal for the shock to rebound (with the spring removed) after full

compression and release.

Replacing the O-rings:

• Disassemble shock and remove shock end and shaft from the body.

• Carefully remove lower cap by unscrewing from the shock body.
