To reduce body roll of the vehicle when going through bends, the model can
be equipped later on with transverse stabilisers.
A transverse stabiliser is made of a u-shaped curved spring steel wire, which is
at both ends connected with one of the lower transverse arms via ball-shaped
heads. For this reason, two steering points for the ball-shaped heads are
provided (a). In the centre, the wire bracket is mounted to rotate on the dif-
ferential housing. The boreholes for the mounting are also provided (b). When
one wheel is deflected, the other wheel is then also deflected via the bracket.
The transverse stabiliser also supports the effect of the oil-dampened shock
absorber when the wheel is rebounding, since the restoring force of the wire
bracket supports the rebounding of the shock absorber (against the friction in the piston).
In this way, the wheel remains in contact with the ground in every situation.

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

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.
-
Always use fresh fuel and keep the tank lid firmly shut.
Air humidity decreases the output of the fuel and causes the engine to run incorrectly; it also causes corrosion in the
engine.
-
Empty the tank if you do not use the model for several days.
The loose components of the fuel evaporate.
This causes the mix to become richer and oil can settle and block pipes.
-
In case of longer drive pauses, e.g. "to overwinter", put – 3 drops of preservation oil (accessories) in the
cylinder
-
Make sure that fuel pipes sit correctly and that they are installed as straight as possible.
-
Check the fuel filter and the suction head of the membrane pump occasionally for dirt and
-
clean the filter or replace it.

Check the electrode clearance and the state of the glow plug
The electrode clearance increases through natural combustion and must be checked occasionally with a feeler
gauge and if necessary, must be readjusted. The set point is 0.7 mm.
Plug is sooted or coked:
-
clean the plug with a brass brush and compressed air.
Plug is oiled:
-
Wash the spark plug with a degreasant or with petroleum ether and dry it
Wash the spark plug with a degreasant or with petroleum ether and dry it
with compressed air.
In both cases make the mix leaner.
In case of doubt, replace the plug.
Before (re) inserting the plug clean the plug seat and check the joint
washer.
