Maintenance on Your RTR

Normal maintenance on your RC car will include cleaning and tighting of loose screws.
Requires proper and regular maintenance after each run. You will need to clean the car after running it. To remove dust use a small compressor to blow out the loose dirt especially around the bearings. If, a compressor is not available use a soft brush like an old toothbrush. The dirt and dust make the bearings wear out faster. Clean the areas around the bearings extra carefully. To grease the bearings just use a couple drops of oil. Especially the outer bearings as they are prone to wear out faster. Once you have cleaned the car check for screws that may be loose. Moderate tightening is sufficient with the proper tool.
Cleaning and Storing your RTR

When cleaning your RTR as mentioned above first remove loose dirt and dust. Once you have used this method you may wipe the remaining debris off the RC car by simply using a damp cloth and simply let air dry. For the body of the car, once removed you may use a sponge to get a better cleaning if needed. Do not use this method around electrical components. This will cause a shortage in these parts and will then need to be replaced.
Once your RC has had the proper maintenance and cleaning it is time to store it until the next use. Once, the car is completely dry you may store it in a clean dry area. Like under your bed if mom allows. Or in your closet on top of the box it came in or simply store it in your closet in the box it came in. Or store it in your families garage on a shelf.
Where, to Find Your RTR

There are several places to purchase your RTR. You can find them in Thrift stores, slightly used or a good spot to look for spare parts. They are found in stores like Target, Walmart, Toys are Us-if they still exist in your location and most often on the internet such as this website. Question is which sites provide good customer service, shipping, return policy and hassle free purchase for the right price that’s within your budget. I personally like doing business with vendors who offer excellent customer service even if they may not be the least expensive on the market. I prefer to work with vendors that take care of their customer’s even if its purchased online.
