HPI Racing E10 Drift 115372 Instruction Manual

Regularly check the tires for wear and tear. Clean them with mild soap and water after use to remove debris and dirt, which can affect traction and performance. Store the car in a cool, dry place to prevent tire degradation.
First, check if the steering linkage and servo are properly connected and functioning. Ensure that the batteries in the transmitter and receiver are fully charged. If the issue persists, recalibrate the steering trim on the transmitter.
The E10 Drift is compatible with NiMH or LiPo batteries. A 7.2V NiMH battery is standard, but for extended run times and more power, a 2S LiPo battery is recommended. Always ensure your ESC is compatible with LiPo batteries.
Loosen the motor screws slightly, and adjust the motor position so that the pinion gear meshes with the spur gear with a slight gap, allowing for a small amount of play without binding. Tighten the screws once the desired mesh is achieved.
Check for any obstructions in the drivetrain that could be causing excessive load. Ensure the gear mesh is not too tight. Consider using a motor heat sink or fan to improve cooling. Additionally, driving on demanding surfaces may require motor upgrades or adjustments.
Upgrade to drift-specific tires for better slide control. Adjust the suspension settings to a softer setup and lower the chassis for a lower center of gravity. Practicing throttle control will also enhance drifting skills.
Remove any loose dirt and debris with a brush. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the chassis. Avoid using excessive water, especially near electronic components. Lubricate moving parts such as bearings and gears to ensure smooth operation.
Ensure that both the transmitter and receiver are powered on and have fresh batteries. Check that the transmitter and receiver are bound correctly. Inspect the receiver antenna for any damage and ensure it is properly connected.
Check the wheel alignment after every few runs, especially if you notice any handling issues or after impacts. Proper alignment ensures optimal handling and performance. Adjust the toe and camber as necessary using the alignment tools provided.
Common upgrades include installing a higher torque servo for better steering response, upgrading the motor and ESC for more power, and using ball bearings throughout the chassis for reduced friction. Consider also upgrading to aluminum parts for durability.
