Maintenance
2. Loosen and remove the 1.5mm setscrew
that holds the propeller shaft. Remove the
propeller and shaft from the aluminum strut.
3. Insert a hex driver into the hole located
on the flywheel to lock the crankshaft in
place. Then use a 10mm wrench to loosen
the collet nut.
4. Carefully pull the ferrule away from the
stuffing tube. You will need to pull at an
angle to clear the aluminum strut.
5. Clean any residue off of the flexshaft
and liberally lubricate the entire length
of the flex shaft with silicone cable grease
as shown.
6. Carefully re-install the flex shaft and
nylon bushing, making certain that you
correctly tighten the collet nut. Next,
re-install the drive shaft and propeller and
tighten the setscrew on the flat of the
drive shaft. Use threadlocking compound
to secure the setscrew.
Note: Running the Formula FASTech 26
Nitro RTR in salt water could cause some
parts to corrode. If you run the boat in salt
water, rinse it thoroughly in fresh water
after each use and lubricate the drive
system. Because of its corrosive effects,
running RC boats in saltwater is at the
discretion of the modeler.
