MAINTAINING YOUR MODEL

Your model requires timely maintenance in order to stay in top

running condition. The following procedures should be taken

very seriously.

Inspect the vehicle for obvious damage or wear. Look for:

1. Cracked, bent, or damaged parts

2. Check the wheels and steering for binding.

3. Check the operation of the shock absorbers.

4. Check the wiring for any frayed wires or loose connections.

5. Check the mounting of the receiver and servo(s) and

speed control.

6. Check the tightness of the wheel nuts with a wrench.

7. Check the operation of the radio system, especially the

condition of the batteries.

8. Check for any loose screws in the chassis structure

or suspension.

9. Inspect the gears for wear, broken teeth, or debris lodged

between the teeth.

10. Check the tightness of the slipper clutch.

11. Check the tightness of the front pivot balls.

Other periodic maintenance:

Slipper clutch pad (friction material):

Under normal use, the

friction material in the

slipper clutch should

wear very slowly. If

the slipper clutch fails

to provide consistent

performance or slips even

when the adjustment nut is fully

tightened, disassemble the slipper

clutch and replace the slipper pad. Inspect

the spur gear and pressure plate for wear or

damage and replace if necessary.

Chassis: Keep the chassis clean of accumulated dirt and grime.

Periodically inspect the chassis for damage.

Shocks: Keep the oil level in the shocks full. Use only 100%

pure silicone shock oil to prolong the life of the seals. If you are

experiencing leakage around the top of the shock, inspect the

bladder in the top cap for signs of damage or distortion from

overtightening. If the bottom of the shock is leaking, then it

is time for a rebuild. The Traxxas rebuild kit for two shocks is

part #7062.

Suspension: Periodically inspect the model for signs of damage

such as bent or dirty suspension pins, bent turnbuckles, loose

screws, and any signs of stress or bending. Replace components

as needed.

Driveline: Inspect the driveline for signs of wear such as worn

drive yokes, dirty axle half shafts, and any unusual noise or

binding. Remove the gear cover and Inspect the spur gear for

wear and check the tightness of set screws in the pinion gears.

Tighten, clean, or replace components as needed.

Storage

When you are through running the model for the day, blow it off

with compressed air or use a soft bristled paint brush to dust-off

the vehicle. Always disconnect and remove the battery from the

model whenever the model is stored. If the model will be stored for

a long time, then also remove the batteries from the transmitter.
