Tuning, adjusting & maintaining Your Vehicle
• Examine your vehicle on a regular basis.
• Use a brush to remove dirt and dust.
• Look for damage to the suspension arms and other molded parts.
• Re-glue the tires to the wheels, if necessary.
• Use suitable tools to tighten fasteners.
• Make sure the camber and steering linkages are not bent. Replace any bent
linkages.
• Adjust the Toe and Camber settings, if necessary.
• R emove the shocks and inspect them for damage. Rebuild the shocks if oil is
leaking.
• Inspect electronics and batteries for exposed wires. Repair exposed wires with
shrink-wrap or replace the wire.
• Make sure the ESC and receiver are secure on the chassis. Replace the
double-sided tape, if necessary.
• Power on the transmitter. If the green LED is dim or off, replace the AA
batteries in your transmitter.
