To set up the suspension, start by adjusting the shock absorbers for your desired ride height and damping. Use the preload collars to set the sag and ensure the vehicle sits level. Adjust camber and toe settings for optimal handling based on track conditions.
If the motor overheats, check for any obstructions in the cooling vents and ensure that the gearing is not too aggressive. Consider reducing the pinion size or increasing the spur gear size to decrease motor load.
Regularly clean the drivetrain components to prevent dirt buildup. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the bearings, and inspect the gears for signs of wear or damage. Replace any worn parts to ensure smooth operation.
To waterproof your Bullet Flux, use waterproof electronics or seal the existing components with silicone sealant. Ensure the receiver box is watertight and cover any exposed connections with dielectric grease.
To adjust the slipper clutch, remove the gear cover and tighten the slipper nut until it is snug. Then, back it off slightly to allow some slip under heavy load. Test and fine-tune based on track conditions and personal preference.
Check that the transmitter and receiver are properly bound and that the transmitter batteries are charged. Inspect the receiver connections and ensure the ESC is correctly calibrated.
Regular maintenance should include cleaning and inspecting the chassis, checking for loose screws, lubricating moving parts, and ensuring that the electronics are functioning correctly. Replace worn tires and broken parts as needed.
To improve battery life, ensure you are using the correct charger and that the battery is fully charged before use. Avoid deep discharging and store batteries at a proper charge level when not in use. Consider using higher capacity batteries for longer run times.
Common upgrades include installing a higher torque motor, upgrading to a brushless ESC, using high-capacity LiPo batteries, and enhancing suspension components for better handling.
If experiencing steering issues, check the steering servo for proper operation. Ensure that the steering linkage is not binding and that the servo saver is functioning correctly. Adjust the trim settings on the transmitter if necessary.
