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. The steering servo saver will wear out over time. If the steering

becomes loose, the servo saver should be replaced.

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

between the teeth.

11. Check the tightness of the slipper clutch.

Other periodic maintenance:

• Slipper clutch pads

(friction material):

Under normal use,

the friction material

in the slipper clutch

should wear very slowly.

If the thickness of any one of

the slipper clutch pads is 1.8mm or

less, the friction disc should be replaced.

Measure the pad thickness using calipers or

measuring against the diameter of the 1.5 and 2.0mm hex

wrenches provided with the model.

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

Periodically inspect the chassis for damage.

• Steering: Over time, you may notice increased looseness in the

steering system. There are several components that will wear

out from use: the servo saver (Traxxas part #3744), the bellcrank

bushings (Traxxas part #2545), and the tie rod ends (Traxxas

part #2742). Replace these components as needed to restore

factory tolerances.

• Motor: Every 10-15 runs, remove, clean, and lubricate the motor.

Use a product such as electric motor cleaning spray to ﬂush dirt

out of the motor. After cleaning, lubricate the bushings at each

end of the motor with a drop of light-weight electric motor oil.

• 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 #2362.

• 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. If a U-joint pops apart, then it is time to replace the part.

Remove the gear cover and inspect the spur gear for wear. Check

the tightness of the 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.
