The recommended battery specifications for optimal performance are a 2S or 3S LiPo battery with a minimum of 4000mAh capacity and a 30C discharge rate.
First, ensure the battery is charged and properly connected. Check the power switch and all wiring connections for any loose or damaged wires. If the issue persists, consult the ESC and motor connections.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the vehicle after each use, checking for loose screws, inspecting the drivetrain and suspension components for wear, and lubricating the bearings and moving parts.
To bind the transmitter to the receiver, ensure both are powered off. Press and hold the bind button on the receiver, then power it on. Turn on the transmitter, and the receiver's LED should indicate a successful bind.
Reduced speed can result from a low battery charge, incorrect gear mesh, worn-out motor brushes (if applicable), or binding in the drivetrain. Check these areas to diagnose the problem.
To improve handling, adjust the suspension settings, including shock oil viscosity and spring tension. Also, consider upgrading the tires to suit the terrain and adjusting the camber and toe angles.
If the motor overheats, allow it to cool down before using it again. Check for proper airflow and ensure the gear mesh isn't too tight. Consider upgrading to a motor with better heat dissipation or installing a cooling fan.
To change the pinion gear, remove the gear cover and loosen the motor mount screws. Slide the motor to disengage the pinion from the spur gear, remove the pinion, and replace it with the new one. Adjust the gear mesh before securing everything back in place.
A grinding noise may be due to improper gear mesh, debris in the drivetrain, or worn-out gears. Check and adjust the gear mesh, clean the drivetrain, and inspect gears for wear and replace them if necessary.
To calibrate the ESC, ensure the transmitter is on and set to neutral. Power on the ESC while holding the set button until it enters calibration mode. Follow the instructions for setting full throttle, neutral, and full brake positions.
