Easy Gearbox Repair: The gearbox structure is designed for straightforward repair and maintenance.
Durable Construction: Features a superior metal chassis and beefy parts to withstand impacts and prolong the vehicle's lifetime, making it highly crash-resistant.
Oil-Filled Shocks: The ultra AL shocks are oil-filled and feature progressive dual-springs, requiring silicone fluid for proper assembly and damping. Regular checking and refilling of silicone fluid are essential for optimal performance.
Slipper Clutch Adjustment: The slipper clutch can be adjusted using a 10mm wrench. Proper adjustment is crucial to prevent damage to the gears during racing.
ESC Calibration: The Electronic Speed Control (ESC) requires calibration for throttle range when using a new ESC, a new transmitter, or after changing the neutral position of the throttle channel. This ensures proper motor function.
Battery Handling:
- Batteries MUST be removed from the RC car before charging.
- Allow the battery to cool down before charging.
- Store batteries in a cool and dry place.
- Ensure battery voltage does not exceed ESC limits if using non-original batteries.
General Checks:
- Always ensure batteries in both the transmitter and RC car are fully charged before operation.
- Check for loose connections in the car's wiring.
- Avoid touching the car's ESC and motor during operation as they emit high heat; allow them to cool down before handling.
Assembly and Disassembly: The manual provides detailed diagrams for assembling and disassembling key components such as the front suspensive assembly, front gear box, shock assembly, front suspension arms, rear suspensive arm, tail wheels, steering assembly, motor mount, and chassis. This facilitates part replacement and maintenance.
