WHEEL DRIVE
The suspension of the rear axis is completely symmetrical to the suspension
of the front axis. This also gives you the possibility to install a servo here to
control the rear wheels. However, you need a third remote control channel for
this purpose.

At certain intervals, maintenance work and function controls that ensure trouble-free operation and
roadworthiness for a long time, must be carried out.
Engine vibrations and shocks during drive operation can loosen parts and screw connections.
Therefore, check before each use:
-
The tight position of wheel nuts and of all screw fittings;
when replacing screws, secure the latter with screw-lock-laquer
-
the secure position of the servo control lever on the servo shaft
-
the position and the state of fuel hoses and air filter
-
the laying of cables
Also check the charging state of the rechargeable batteries of the transmitter and the receiver

LEANING
-
After driving, clean the entire vehicle of dust and dirt, use compressed air and / or a special spray detergent.
Pay particular attention to the bearings. Occasionally, remove the wheels and clean the ball bearing from dust
and deposits.
After cleaning, the movable parts must be re-lubricated.
After having lubricated the bearings remove any leaking oil and grease, since this is where dust can settle
particularly well.
-
Clean the cooling fins of the cooling head regularly with a toothbrush, in order to ensure an optimal heat
dissipation.

ENGINE

Impurities must not get into the tank or in the carburettor and / or certainly not in the engine
.
Such impurities can cause misfiring under load or a bad idle speed setting
.
In the worst case a foreign body between cylinder lining and piston can result in a stuck piston or a piston seizure.
For safety purposes, mount a fuel filter between tank and carburettor, in order to filter existing suspended
particles out of the fuel.
-
Use fuel for RC cars only!
-
Always use fresh fuel and keep the tank lid firmly shut.
With time, model fuel absorbs humidity from the air. This humidity lowers the performance of the fuel and causes the
engine to run incorrectly as well as corrosion in the engine.
-
Empty the tank if you do not use the model for several days.
The volatile components of the fuel nitromethane and methanol evaporate leaving oil behind; the latter sets down,
enriches the mix and can clog lines.
-
When ending drive operation for the day, unscrew the glow plug and put some drops of engine oil
"After Run" (low viscosity machine oil) in the cylinder.
Insert the glow plug again and turn the model a few times over and swing it, so that the oil can be evenly distributed
in the combustion room. This prevents corrosion.
In case of longer drive pauses, e.g. "to overwinter", put 2 – 3 drops of anticorrosion oil (accessories) in the
cylinder
-
Fix fuel hoses on the connector nipples with thin cable binders or special hose binders (accessories).
Otherwise the oil in the fuel can cause slipping.
