Start by carefully reading the instruction manual to understand the assembly sequence. Use the correct tools, such as hex drivers and pliers, to ensure components are securely fastened. Consider using thread lock on metal-to-metal connections to prevent loosening during operation.
Check for any obstructions in the steering linkage and ensure that the servo is properly centered. Inspect the servo saver for damage and ensure all screws are tightened. Calibrate the transmitter to ensure the steering trim is set correctly.
Regularly clean the chassis and components to remove dirt and debris. Inspect the drivetrain for wear and lubricate moving parts. Check electronic connections for corrosion or damage, and tighten all screws and fasteners.
Adjust the shock oil viscosity and spring tension according to track conditions. For bumpy surfaces, consider softer springs and lighter oil. On smooth tracks, stiffer springs and thicker oil can improve handling. Experiment with camber and toe settings for optimal performance.
Check the battery charge level and ensure it is fully charged. Inspect the motor and ensure it is clean and free from debris. Verify that the gear mesh between the motor pinion and spur gear is correctly adjusted.
Consider upgrading to higher-quality aftermarket parts such as aluminum shock towers or hardened steel gears. Regularly inspect the vehicle for signs of wear and replace any damaged components promptly.
Seal the receiver box with a waterproof sealant and use a waterproof cover for the electronic speed controller (ESC). Use waterproof servos and consider applying dielectric grease to exposed electrical connections.
Select a pinion and spur gear combination that suits your preference for speed or torque. A smaller pinion gear or larger spur gear will provide more torque and acceleration, while a larger pinion or smaller spur will increase top speed.
Inspect the drivetrain for any debris or damaged gears. Ensure the gear mesh is properly adjusted and that there are no loose components. Check the bearings for wear and lubricate them if necessary.
Use high-quality LiPo batteries and balance charge them regularly. Avoid over-discharging by using a battery cutoff or alarm. Store batteries at the recommended storage voltage and in a cool, dry place.
