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.
