• Velineon motor: After operating your model in wet or muddy
conditions, remove the motor and clean any mud or dirt from
the bearings. To access the rear bearing, remove the plastic cap
with thumb pressure, or gently pry the cap off with a flat-blade
screwdriver. To prevent corrosion and assure maximum bearing life,
lubricate the bearings with a light oil (available at your local hobby
store). Following these steps will extend motor life and maintain
peak performance. 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 wire clamp by removing the two 2.5x8mm cap screws.
2. Remove the cover by removing the two 3x10mm cap screws.
3. To remove the receiver from the box, simply lift it out and set to the
side. The antenna wire is still inside the clamp area and cannot be
removed yet.
4. Unplug the servo cables from the receiver and remove the receiver.
Receiver Installation
1. Install the electronic speed control (ESC), servo, and antenna wiring
through the receiver box top (A).
2. Plug ESC and servo wires into the receiver (see page 11).
3. Bundle wiring as necessary.
4. 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 bottom so that the cover will
not pinch it or damage it in any way.
5. Place receiver box top onto receiver box
bottom and install and tighten the two 3x10mm
cap screws securely.
6. Inspect the cover to make sure that the O-ring
seal is not visible.
7. Arrange the wires neatly using the wire guides
on the receiver box top (B). Excess ESC and
servo wiring should be bundled inside the
receiver box. Pull out all available antenna
wiring from the receiver box.
8. Apply a small bead of silicone grease (Traxxas
part #1647) to the foam on the wire clamp (C).
9. Install the wire clamp and tighten the two
2.5x8mm cap screws securely (D).
