Use polycarbonate-specific paint designed for RC car bodies.
Can I use different size batteries?
Yes, ensure the battery fits within the chassis dimensions and has the appropriate connectors for your ESC.
How often should I change the differential oil?
Change the differential oil every 5-10 runs or when performance degrades.
Where can I find replacement parts?
Replacement parts are typically available from hobby shops or online retailers specializing in RC vehicles.
How do I adjust the suspension?
Adjust the spring preload, shock oil weight, and shock positions on the shock towers to tune the suspension for different track conditions and driving styles.
What is the recommended gear ratio?
The ideal gear ratio depends on your motor, track conditions, and driving style. Experiment to find the best balance of speed and acceleration.
Troubleshooting
