Model maintenance
The performances of your models strongly depends upon your care!
After operating your model under the rain on asphalt, earth, sand, grass, or if the model is excessively wet after running through standing puddles
clean your model immediately (not the next day !!).
The engine has to be disassembled and the clutch removed. The set screws as well as the clutch pads have to be cleaned and dried. Otherwise
fretting corrosion may arise between fixing screws and clutch pads, leading a wrong operation of the clutch. It is also necessary to slightly lubricate
the fixing screws with copper paste (not too much paste in order to avoid that grease comes in touch with the clutch pads). In case of heavy dirt,
the belt drive has to be dismounted, cleaned and dried, too.
It is very important that you dry ALL BEARINGS of the model car. Then lubricate the bearings with bearing oil. Metal flanged bearings can be oiled
through repeated application of the oil on the cover disk while rotating simultaneously the bearing. Repeat this process until the bearing runs easy
and gentle. If you notice that the bearing does not run smoothly and without any resistance, then replace it with a new one.
In case of plastic sealed bearings, lift carefully the lip of the seal with a needle. Take care not to damage the lip. The bearing can now be refilled
with grease or oiled. Then fix the sealing lip back to the bearing carefully. The lip is correctly seating when you hear the click.
Basically, all steel made parts of the model such as screws, driveshafts, carriers and gearwheels have to be treated with some rust preventive oil
(for example WD 40) or similar rust proofing or maintenance oil in order to prevent formation of rust.
After running on grass, it is absolutely necessary to follow the instructions below:
Dismount the engine housing B from the cylinder in order to remove the grass between the cylinder cooling fins. If you don't do so, the cylinder may
not received sufficient cooling air. As the engine gets very hot, it could cause a considerable power loss or even a piston/cylinder seizing. To make
the cleaning procedure easier, without disassembling the engine, it is possible to remove the guide rails on the engine housing. Now it is possible
to lift off the engine housing by removing the three fixing screws. Check also for grass on the starter housing. Clean the air vents of the starter hou-
sing completely so that the engine gets sufficient cooling air again.
Disassemble, clean and lubricate the pull starter if the rope doesn't draw back completely. The foam of the air filter should be replaced by a new
freshly oiled one.
Check the vehicle for smooth running by turning both rear wheels in the same direction. Dismount all wheels and square wheel drivers if the wheels
do not turn smoothly. Remove the grass residues between square wheel drivers and upright bearings. If you wait too long, there is a risk of defor-
mation of the bearing cover disk, causing inevitably a malfunction of the bearings.
In the case of a 4WD vehicle, we recommend to check the complete gearwheel drive on dirt and clean it.
Further service and adjustment notes:
- Do not tighten M4 or respectively M5 nuts against the damper mount ; leave a 0.5mm clearance.
- Check all screws and tighten them if necessary after 2 hours driving time.
- Always replace the gear belt of the 4WD models after 20-25 hours running time.
Engine doesn't start.
Unscrew the spark plug and press the spark plug socket on the spark plug. Hold the
spark plug outside thread with isolated flat pliers and pull the starter rope. You should
see an ignition spark clearly at the spark plug. If there is no ignition spark and the an-
nular gap has carbon residues, then remove these residues between insulator and
housing with a steel needle. Afterwards, rinse the annular gap with FG Cleaning Spray
and let it evaporate. Screw the spark plug back into the engine and start it. Finally let
the engine run at full speed only for a few seconds, so the spark plug can clean itself.
Attention! For the further use of the engine, set a correct carburetor adjustment. Do
not use an overrich mixture as this problem can occur again (see instruction point 5,
carburetor adjustment).
Engine hickups and stalls
Solution! Check the connection between spark plug and spark plug socket. The plug
socket must sit firmly on the spark plug. If not, replace the spark plug socket with a new
one.
Irregular idle speed
The engine has an irregular increased idle speed. Furthermore, the carburetor can hardly or not be adjusted anymore. In this case, check the condi-
tion of insulator and carburetor gasket as well. Replace defective parts if necessary.
