Regularly clean and lubricate the gears and driveshafts, inspect for wear and tear, and replace any damaged parts to ensure smooth and efficient performance.

What is the proper way to adjust the suspension setup for different track conditions?

Adjust the shock oil viscosity and spring tension according to the track surface. Softer setups are generally better for bumpy tracks, while stiffer setups work well on smooth surfaces.

How can I improve the battery life during races?

Use high-capacity LiPo batteries, properly balance charge them, and ensure your motor and ESC are optimized for efficiency to extend runtime and performance.

What steps should I take for post-race maintenance on the 8IGHT-E 4.0?

Clean the car thoroughly, check for any loose screws or damaged parts, inspect the drivetrain and suspension components, and recharge the batteries for the next use.

How do I set the gear mesh correctly on the 8IGHT-E 4.0?

Slide a piece of paper between the pinion and spur gear, tighten the motor screws, and then remove the paper to ensure the gears are properly meshed without being too tight or loose.

What should I do if the car's steering is not responsive?

Check the steering servo for proper operation, ensure the steering linkage is unobstructed, and verify that the servo saver is properly adjusted and not too loose.

How do I properly store the 8IGHT-E 4.0 during the off-season?

Clean the vehicle thoroughly, remove the batteries and store them at a safe charge level, and keep the car in a dry, cool place to prevent damage from moisture or extreme temperatures.
