Tuning, adjusting & maintaining Your Vehicle
• Examine your vehicle on a regular basis.
• Use a brush to remove dirt and dust.
• Look for damage to the suspension arms and other molded parts.
• Re-glue the tires to the wheels, if necessary.
• Use suitable tools to tighten fasteners.
• Make sure the camber and steering linkages are not bent. Replace any bent
linkages.
• Adjust the Toe and Camber settings, if necessary.
• R emove the shocks and inspect them for damage. Rebuild the shocks if oil is
leaking.
• Inspect electronics and batteries for exposed wires. Repair exposed wires with
shrink-wrap or replace the wire.
• Make sure the ESC and receiver are secure on the chassis. Replace the
double-sided tape, if necessary.
• Power on the transmitter. If the green LED is dim or off, replace the AA
batteries in your transmitter.
• Check the spur gear for wear.

Cleaning
Performance can be hindered if dirt gets in any of the moving suspension parts.

Avoid using solvents or chemicals as they can actually wash dirt into the bearings
or moving parts, as well as cause damage to the electronics.
