1. It is important to remove and
lubricate the drive cable after a
day of running. Make sure the
power to the boat is turned off and
the battery pack is unplugged. To
lubricate the cable you will need:
• 1.5mm Allen wrench
• GrimRacer Cable Grease
• Paper Towel
2. Using a 1.5mm Allen wrench, loosen the set screws holding the drive
cable to the motor coupler. It is important to note that there are two
set screws holding the cable in position.
3. Slip the cable out the back of the
boat. Wipe off any grease and
water that might be on the cable.
4. Using GrimRacer speed grease, apply a small amount to the cable
and slide the cable back into the boat. Be careful to align the cable to
the hole in the end of the motor coupler.
5. Leave about 1/16” [2mm] gap
between the front of the drive dog
and the back of the shaft tube.
6. Tighten the set screws to hold the cable in place. Do not over tighten
the set screws. It is also a good idea to tighten one screw lightly
and then the other. Go back and forth between screws to keep even
tension on the drive cable.
