Begin by following the step-by-step instructions in the manual. Ensure all parts are present and use the recommended tools for assembly. Pay close attention to the order of assembly to avoid issues.
Perform a basic inspection after every race to check for loose screws and damaged parts. Clean the car and lubricate moving parts every 3-5 runs. A full teardown and rebuild are recommended every 15-20 runs.
First, check the steering servo and linkage for any obstructions or damage. Ensure the servo horn is tight and properly aligned. If the problem persists, inspect the servo saver and adjust the steering endpoints using the transmitter.
Use a high-quality LiPo battery, preferably 2S or 3S, depending on your performance needs. Ensure the battery is compatible with the ESC and motor specifications.
To increase speed, consider upgrading to a more powerful motor or adjusting the gear ratio. Ensure that the ESC can handle the upgraded motor and that the drivetrain components can withstand the increased power.
Check the batteries in both the transmitter and receiver. Re-bind the transmitter and receiver if necessary, and ensure there are no sources of interference nearby. Verify that the ESC is properly calibrated.
Adjust the shock oil viscosity, spring tension, and ride height to suit track conditions. Softer settings improve grip on rough tracks, while stiffer settings are better for smooth surfaces.
Use a soft brush to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn grime, use mild soap and water. Dry the car thoroughly and apply a silicone-based spray to protect moving parts. Avoid getting electronics wet.
Avoid excessive wheel spin and drifting, as these can wear out tires quickly. Rotate tires regularly to ensure even wear and consider using tire additives to enhance grip and durability.
Inspect the battery connections and ensure they are secure. Check the ESC and motor for overheating. If the problem persists, test the battery pack for any voltage drop or damage.
