7. Let the car stand or you may blow off with compressed air.
Placing the car in a warm, sunny spot will aid drying. Trapped
water and oil will continue to drip from the car for a few hours.
Place it on a towel or piece of cardboard to protect the surface
underneath.
8. As a precautionary step, remove the sealed receiver box
cover. While unlikely, humidity or tiny amounts of moisture or
condensation may enter the receiver box during wet running.
This can cause long-term problems with the sensitive electronics
in the receiver. Removing the receiver box cover during storage
allows the air inside to dry. This step can improve the long-
term reliability of the receiver. It is not necessary to remove the
receiver or unplug any of the wires.
9. Additional Maintenance: Increase your frequency of
disassembly, inspection, and lubrication of the following items.
This is necessary after extended wet use or if the vehicle will
not be used for an extended period of time (such as a week or
longer). This additional maintenance is needed to prevent any
trapped moisture from corroding internal steel components.
• Stub axle housing bearings: Remove, clean, and re-oil the
bearings.
• Titan motor: Remove the motor, clean with aerosol motor
cleaner, and re-oil the bushings with lightweight motor oil. Be
sure to wear eye protection when using spray aerosol cleaners.
RECEIVER BOX:
MAINTAINING A WATERTIGHT SEAL
Removing and Installing Radio Gear
The unique design of the receiver box allows the removal and
installation of the receiver without losing the ability to maintain a
watertight seal in the box. The patent-pending wire clamp feature
gives you the ability to also install aftermarket radio systems and
maintain the watertight features of the receiver box.
Removing the Receiver
1. To remove the cover, remove the three 2.5x10mm socket-head
cap screws.
2. To remove the receiver from the box, simply lift it out and set to
the side.
3. Unplug the servo cables from the receiver and remove the
receiver.
DRIVING YOUR MODEL
Receiver Installation
1. Always install the wires into the receiver box before installing the
receiver.
2. Install the antenna wire and the servo
cables into the receiver box.
3. Arrange the wires neatly using the
wire guides in the receiver box. The
excess wire will be bundled inside the
receiver box. Label which wire is for
which channel.
4. Apply a small bead of silicone grease
(Traxxas part #1647) to the wire clamp.
5. Using double-sided adhesive foam
tape, install the receiver into the box.
Note: For best performance, it is recommended that the receiver
be installed in the original orientation as shown.
6. Plug the wires into the receiver. Refer to page 12 for the wiring
diagram.
7. Make sure the box light pipe is aligned
with the receiver LED. Make sure the
O-ring is properly seated into the
groove in the receiver box so that the
cover will not pinch it or damage it in
any way.
8. Install the cover and tighten the three 2.5x10mm socket-head
cap screws securely.
9. Inspect the cover to make sure that the O-ring seal is not visible.
