- Watch
the DVD (if one is provided). Many
owners fail to do this and a large proportion of the
questions we
are
asked,
have answers on the DVD. Ideal time to do this is while
you are charging up your batteries for their first use. There
is great advice and tips on tuning etc. on each DVD.
- When
a spare part is required, use the parts diagram supplied with
the model to identify the part number(s).
This way, when ordering spare part(s), you are assured
of the correct part and the overall process with your model
shop will
be much smoother.
- Check
screws and bolts are tight before use. Due to the nature of
vibration and power from these models, screws and bolts do
work loose. Pay particular attention to engine, suspension
and spur gear etc. Any loosening on these items and you may
find yourself with a bill for spare parts you could have avoided.
- USE
Thread Lock on
all metal-to-metal fixings, this will ensure there
is a minimal chance of loosening.
- USE
aftercare products such as After-Run
Oil and Air
Filter Oil. These will prolong the life of your
model.
- When
tuning your car, always make fine adjustments and remember
how much and which way you have adjusted. If your model does
not respond well to the adjustments, return it
to original position and start again. Model owners regularly
make the mistake of adjusting all screws in a random fashion
hoping to get lucky, more often
than not these models are in our workshop within a few
days to be tuned professionally.
- ALWAYS
ensure the Batteries in
your Transmitter and Receiver have enough
charge. NEVER use cheap batteries,
you get what you pay for with batteries, so buy the best!
- FIT
a Failsafe, these
are valuable additions to any model and could save
you a small fortune in the event of a failure.
- USE
your model in wide open areas such as parks and wasteland,
away from roads and more importantly KERBS! This ensures maximum
FUN and minimum disruption to others around you. Always respect
other people in the areas where you are driving, at the speeds
these models can go, it is possible to seriously injure an
innocent passer-by.
- BUY
a spare Glow Plug.
There is nothing more frustrating than getting to a
park after preparing your model, only to find you have
a glow plug failure. These take 60 seconds to replace
and are consumable parts (very similar to a light bulb).
