7.3 Regular checks

Check:
> The model and the transmitter for any visible damage
> To be sure all the screw connections are tight;
during operation, parts and screw connections may become loosened through motor vibrations and shocks.
> To be sure that all the turning/moving parts move smoothly;
> Plug connections for contact and cables for secure installation
> The snugness of the link lever and the servo arm on the servo shaft
> The charging level of the transmitter and rechargeable drive batteries
> The symmetric adjustment of the shock absorbers of one axle
> The condition of the tyres

7.4 Regular work

Changing tyres
At the factory the tyres are screw-connected (beadlock) on
the wheel rims from both sides with a plastic ring so as to
secure them from jumping the wheel rim and from slip-
ping. This screw connection allows the tyres to be changed
without damaging the rims.
Cleaning
> After each trip, clean the model of dust and soiling with a rag and a brush, or use compressed air.
> Also dry the vehicle thoroughly if you have driven on wet ground or in bad weather.
> Pay special attention to the wheel bearings. Take the wheels off occasionally and clean the ball bearings of dust and depo-
sits.
> Also clean the cooling ribs of the electric motor thoroughly.
Care
> After each cleaning, the moving parts have to be re-lubricated.
> Any oil or grease escaping has to be thoroughly removed, as otherwise dust would be able to deposit there especially
well.
Maintenance work on the motor
You should not carry out maintenance work on the motor yourself, but rather have this done by specialists if you do not have
the specialised knowledge and skills.
If you still want to work on the motor yourself, you will have to take it out to do so.
Pay attention to the sequence of the plug connections for putting it back in.
Check the running behaviour and the bearings of the motor by turning the motor shaft. If necessary, dismantle the motor
and carefully clean the parts and bearings with common commercially available brake cleaner. Re-lubricate the bearings with
ball bearing oil.
