1. Engine Break-in

Before operating the vehicle at full performance, it is critical to properly break in the nitro engine. Follow the engine manufacturer's specific break-in procedure. This typically involves running the engine at rich fuel settings for several tanks to allow internal components to seat correctly. Failure to properly break in the engine can lead to premature wear and poor performance.

2. Fueling and Starting

Fill the fuel tank with appropriate nitro fuel (typically 20-30% nitro content). Use a starter box to crank the engine. Ensure the glow plug is properly heated. Once the engine starts, allow it to warm up before driving. Adjust the carburetor for optimal idle and performance.

3. Driving the RC10GT

Operate the vehicle in a safe, open area, away from people and obstacles. Use smooth throttle and steering inputs. The RC10GT is a powerful vehicle; practice gentle acceleration and braking to maintain control. Familiarize yourself with the vehicle's handling characteristics.

4. బ్రేకింగ్

The RC10GT features powerful rear disc brakes. Apply brakes smoothly to avoid locking up the wheels, which can lead to loss of control. Adjust brake bias and strength via your transmitter if supported.

నిర్వహణ

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and performance of your RC10GT.

1. After Each Run

• Clean the vehicle: Remove dirt, dust, and debris from the chassis, suspension, and engine.
• Inspect for damage: Check for loose screws, bent parts, or worn tires.
• Empty fuel tank: Do not store the vehicle with fuel in the tank.
• Disconnect receiver battery: Prevent discharge.

2. ఇంజిన్ నిర్వహణ

Regularly clean the air filter. Check glow plug condition and replace as needed. After several hours of operation, consider disassembling and cleaning the engine, inspecting bearings and piston/sleeve for wear. Apply after-run oil to prevent corrosion during storage.

3. Chassis and Suspension

Lubricate moving parts of the suspension. Check shock oil levels and replace if necessary. Inspect drive shafts, universals, and wheel bearings for wear. Ensure all suspension links and pivot points move freely.

4. Transmission and Drivetrain

Periodically inspect the Stealth ATC Transmission gears for wear. Check the slipper clutch adjustment and condition. Ensure the disc brake pads are not excessively worn and the mechanism operates smoothly.
