The Savage XL Flux 117116 does not require a traditional motor break-in as it uses a brushless motor. However, it's recommended to perform a few gentle runs to ensure all components settle properly.
Before each run, inspect the battery connections, tire condition, suspension components, and ensure all screws and nuts are tightened. Also, check the electronics for any signs of wear or damage.
Check the steering servo for proper operation, ensure there are no obstructions in the steering linkage, and verify the transmitter settings. If the issue persists, consider replacing the servo or checking the servo horn.
Perform a basic inspection after every run, and a more thorough maintenance check after every 5-10 runs. This includes cleaning, lubrication, and checking for worn or damaged parts.
Adjust the shock absorbers by changing the oil weight or spring tension to suit the terrain. Softer setups are better for rough terrains, while harder setups are ideal for smooth tracks.
The Savage XL Flux is compatible with LiPo batteries. It is recommended to use a 4S or 6S LiPo with a high discharge rate for optimal performance.
To extend tire life, avoid running on abrasive surfaces, rotate tires regularly, and ensure proper wheel alignment. Adjust driving style to reduce unnecessary wear.
Check the transmitter and receiver batteries, ensure both are turned on, and verify that they are properly bound. Inspect for any signal interference or damage to the antenna.
Carefully remove excess mud with a soft brush, use compressed air to clear debris, and wipe down with a damp cloth. Avoid water contact with the electronics, and lubricate moving parts after cleaning.
Consider upgrading to a higher-capacity battery, installing a faster servo, and adding aluminum suspension parts for improved durability and performance.
