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.
• Transmission: Remove, disassemble, clean, and re-grease the
transmission components. Use a light coating of wheel bearing
grease (from an auto parts store) on the metal gear teeth. Refer
to your exploded view diagrams for help with disassembly and
reassembly.
• 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 wire clamp, remove the two 2.5x12mm socket-head cap
screws.
2. To remove the cover, remove the two 3x12mm button-head cap
screws.
3. To remove the receiver from the box, unplug the servo cables from the
receiver and remove the receiver.
Receiver Installation
1. Using double-sided adhesive foam tape,
install the receiver into the box. Make
sure the box light pipe is aligned with the
receiver LED.
Note: For best performance, it is recommended
that the receiver be installed in the original
orientation as shown.
2. Install the servo wires and antenna through the
cover and plug the wires into the receiver.
3. 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 any way.
4. Install the cover and tighten the two
3x12mm button-head cap screws securely.
5. Inspect the cover to make sure that the O-ring seal is
not visible.
6. Arrange the wires neatly using the wire guides in the
receiver box.
7. Apply a small bead of silicone grease (part #1647) to
the wire clamp.
8. Install the wire clamp and tighten the two 2.8x12mm cap screws
securely.
