General Maintenance, Continued....
l
Any screws that are threaded directly into metal should be secured in place with threadlock. This will prevent the screws from loosening
during use. Screws threaded into nylon or composite material do not require threadlock.
l
Do not overtighten any screws that thread into nylon or composite material or the material may strip out. Screws threaded into nylon
or composite material need only be tightened snugly.
l
Once in a while, remove the wheels and clean the wheel bearings, using a bearing cleaner. This will remove any dust and grit that
may, over time, damage the bearings. After cleaning the bearings, reoil them using a good quality bearing oil. Never run the bearings
dry or damage to the bearings will result.
l
Check the condition of your transmitter batteries each time you drive your Rail. If you think they might need replacement or recharg-
ing, do so before driving your Rail again.
l
After a period of time the chassis will accumulate a lot of dirt and debris. This buildup should be cleaned off using a soft brush and
compressed air.
l
After cleaning the chassis and motor with compressed air, apply several drops of lubricating oil to the motor bearings to ensure top
performance.
l
Check that the wheel nuts are tight. Applying a small amount of threadlock will help prevent them from coming loose!
l
Check the suspension and steering system to ensure both are working smoothly without any binding.
l
If you're using the optional foam lter over the motor heat-sink fans, periodically remove the foam lter and wash it out in soapy warm
water. Allow to dry, then reinstall using the rubber band provided.

Quick Break Down Guide
This Quick Break Down Guide is provided to show how to break down the main component parts of the Rail for maintenance or for repair.
For more detailed Assembly Drawings, refer to the Exploded View Assembly Drawings section on pages 28 ~ 58.
Remove the three 3 x 8mm self-tapping screws from each side of
the roll cage.
When you reinstall the roll cage, push the two vertical centre
posts partially over the mounts, then gently ex and push
the two vertical rear posts over their mounts. Next, rmly
but carefully ex the two upper posts over the mounts on
the shock tower. In some cases, it may help to rst loosen
the two roll cage mounts in front of the rear body mounts.
Push back on the wing, then rmly but
carefully pull the back of the roll cage
up and pivot it forward.
