Cleaning and maintenance

a) General

Before cleaning or servicing, turn off the vehicle and completely separate the rechargeable battery pack
from the speed controller. If you have just operated the vehicle, allow all parts (e.g. motor, speed controller,
etc.) to cool down completely first.
Clean the whole vehicle after using it. Remove dust and dirt using e.g. a long-haired clean brush and a vacuum
cleaner. Compressed air aerosols may also be helpful.
Do not use cleaning sprays or conventional household cleaners. They may damage electronic components
and lead to discolouration on the plastic parts or the body.
A soft, slightly moistened cloth can be used to wipe the vehicle body. Do not rub too firmly to avoid scratch marks.
At certain intervals, maintenance and function checks must be carried out that ensure trouble-free operation and
roadworthiness for a long time.
Motor vibrations and shocks when driving can loosen parts and screws. This is why you should always check the
tightness of wheel nuts and all screws before and after using the model. The same applies to other parts of the vehicle.
Check if the tyres sit correctly on the wheel rims and if the adhesions have loosened.
Only use original spare parts to replace worn-out or defective vehicle parts.
Make sure that no cables are bent or squeezed or get into the drive.
If cables scrape against the toothed belt or other drive parts, the cables can be damaged and there is the
risk of a short circuit!
Check the model for damage before every use. If you notice any damage, the vehicle must not be used anymore and
has to be taken out of operation.
b) Replacing the crystal
There must be no other transmitters/models using the same frequency in the range of the remote control, as the
transmitters interfere with each other. As a result, the models no longer respond properly to the remote commands. If
other models are operated in your range, talk to the other operators to decide what frequencies you use.
For safety reasons, you should only use crystals that have been explicitly recommended by the supplier
for use in your remote control system.
• Before changing a crystal, first turn off the vehicle and then the remote control.
• Pull the holder of the transmitter crystal out of the transmitter casing (see illustration in chapter 8, pos. 6).
• Take the transmitter crystal out of its plastic holder. Insert the replacement crystal with a different channel within the
same frequency band.
