12. Cleaning and maintenance
a) General
Before cleaning or maintenance, the speed controller must be turned off and the vehicle battery must be completely
disconnected from the speed controller. Allow all parts to cool down completely (e.g. motor and speed controller).
Afteryouhavenishedusingthevehicle,removealldustanddirt(e.g.usingacleanlong-hairedbrushandavacuum
cleaner). Compressed air aerosols can also help to remove dirt.
Do not use cleaning sprays or conventional household cleaning chemicals. These may damage the electronic compo-
nents and discolour the plastic parts or chassis.
Never wash the vehicle with water (e.g. with a high-pressure cleaner), as this may destroy the motor, speed controller
or receiver.
