Bromsgrove, B60 4AD.
Regular maintenance.
Frequently check the whole vehicle for loose or missing fixings. Use thread lock on
any replacement screws into metal threads.
Frequently check rotating parts are free from grass, string etc. that might bind
their motion and over stress the motor or speed controller. Remove the wheels
occasionally and check behind the mounting hex for obstructions or anything that
might have been wrapped around the axle and caused extra drag.
Check the gear mesh frequently and remove any stones or grit from gear teeth to
prevent premature wear and damage.
If the motor moves, or is removed for maintenance/exchange, the gear mesh will
need to be set. Simply slacken the motor
retaining screws and adjust the motor
until there is just discernable backlash
between pinion and spur teeth. If the gear
is too tight or too loose the gears will be
noisy and could be damaged.
Shock absorbers will wear prematurely if
used in dirty dusty conditions. Replace oil
and seals as required to keep a smooth
dampening action.
Motor/ESC overheat:
Over-geared
Binding transmission.
Seized axle bearing.

When this product comes to the end of its useful life, you must not dispose of it
in the ordinary domestic waste. Many electrical items that we throw away can
be repaired or recycled. Recycling items helps to save natural resources and
also reduces the environmental and health impacts that are linked with sending
electrical goods to landfill. The correct method of disposal is to take it to your local

recycle-more.co.uk for details of locations.
Alternatively FTX can offer our customers free take-back of their WEEE on a like-
for-like basis when they buy a new Electrical or Electronic product from us.

would accept their old radio and prevent it going into a landfill site by disposing
of it safely. Customers must return their old WEEE item to us within 28 days of
purchasing their new item.
