TROUBLESHOOTING
Motor and battery pack get hot after every run
The motor or battery should not become too hot to touch. Inspect the following to help determine
the cause.
1. Motor is dirty or damaged
Every 10-15 runs, remove, clean, and lubricate the motor. Use a product such as electric
motor cleaning spray to flush dirt out of the motor. After cleaning, lubricate the bushings
at each end of the motor with a drop of light-weight electric motor oil.
2. Drive train is binding
Remove the motor's pinion gear and roll the vehicle on a flat surface to check the drive
train for binding.
3. Hot electronics
Let model cool down between runs.
4. Model is overgeared
Re-gear the model with a lower tooth pinion gear to lessen the load on the motor.
