SLIPPER CLUTCH

To optimise the power depending on the surface, this vehicle has a slipping clutch. The speed at which the clutch engages can be adjusted via the nut, which presses a spring against the slipper discs. In this way, the starting behaviour and the power transmission can be optimally adjusted.

Loosen nut – the clutch engages later.
Tighten the nut – the clutch engages earlier or directly.

MAINTENANCE

If the main gear or motor pinion are replaced, the pinion backlash must then be adjusted correctly. To do this, place a thin piece of paper between the main gear and the motor pinion. Press the gears together and tighten the screws. Now pull out the paper. The pinion backlash is now correctly adjusted.

Always secure screws with medium strength thread locker on the first thread. This prevents them from unscrewing themselves.

CLEAN & MAINTENANCE

For long-lasting driving pleasure, you should clean and maintain your vehicle regularly. High-quality silicone grease or dry lubricant that does not adhere to dirt or grime is suitable as a lubricant for the gearbox. The installed steering servo has a plastic gear (unless otherwise stated). In the event of an excessive impact, the installed servo saver may not be able to absorb the force and the servo will be damaged. This is not a warranty case. The motor has cooling holes. If dirt/dirt such as sand gets into it, it can block and be damaged. This is wearing and tear and does not constitute a warranty claim.The vehicle is equipped with plastic drive shafts. These can break during extreme driving, jumps or rollovers. This is not a warranty case.
