Hi All,

I'm a newbie to 1/8 onroad nitro RC. I have an Xray Rx8 2013. I just wanted to ask about maintenance. So far my list includes:

1. Engine - use after run
2. 1st gear and front axle one-way bearings - Clean and one-way lube
3. Thrust bearing - clean and grease with graphite grease
4. Clutch - check clutch gap and end play
5. Air filter - clean and oil using filter oil
6. ball bearings - oil using bearing oil
7. Wipe down chassis with a towel

Is there anything else I need to do to maintain the car and minimize failures?

Thanks in advanced.

- lube one way bearings with oneway lube (gearbox and front one ways)
- lube dogbones with premium lube ore some light grease
- check shocks for air (less often)
- clean inside 2nd gear (moving parts cause allot of alu wear on shoe and bell)
- check if suspension still moves freely without shocks attached.
