DRIVING YOUR MODEL
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.
• Front and rear differential: Remove, disassemble, clean, and re-
grease the differentials. Refer to your exploded view diagrams for
help with disassembly and reassembly.
• Transmission: Remove, disassemble, and clean the transmission
components. No grease is required for the nylon gears. Refer
to your exploded view diagrams for help with disassembly and
reassembly.
• Motor: Remove the motor, clean with aerosol motor cleaner, and
re-oil the bushings (Titan 380 motor) or bearings (Velineon 380
motor) 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. Remove the 2.5x8mm screws that secure the wire clamp.
2. Remove the 2.5x8mm screws that secure the receiver box lid to the
chassis. Lift the lid up and toward you to disengage the lid's tab
from its slot in the chassis.
3. You can now access the receiver. Unplug the servo cables from the
receiver and remove the receiver.
Receiver Installation
A
1. Route the antenna wire
out of the receiver box
cover (A). Place the cover
on the chassis.
2. Route the servo and
speed control leads into the receiver box
cover. Use the molded-in wire guides to
align the servo and speed control leads and
antenna wire (B).
3. Apply a small bead of silicone grease (Traxxas
part #1647) to the wire clamp (C).
4. Install the wire clamp and tighten the two
2.5x8mm screws securely (D).
5. Lift the receiver box cover and plug the
servo and speed control leads into the
receiver (E). Refer to page 12 for the
wiring diagram.
6. Bundle the wires so they fit beneath the
receiver box cover. You may secure the
receiver to the chassis with mounting tape
if you wish, but this is not required. The
excess wire beneath the cover will prevent
the receiver from rattling.
7. Make sure the blue O-ring is properly
seated into the groove around the
receiver cover base so the cover will not
pinch or damage the O-ring. Snap the
receiver box cover into place (F).
8. Inspect the cover to make sure the O-ring
is not visible. If it is, remove the cover and
reposition the O-ring. With the O-ring and
cover properly seated, install the 2.5x8mm
screws and tighten them securely (G).
