if u race, check all yor main vitals...cluch, shocks, hub bearings, loose screws after each heat.. make sure everything is moving smoothly and free. if yor just a basher then look over the car or truck after each hour of bashing.. clean the filter and give it a quick check for loose screws...

rendezvous, you tear down your truck everytime after you run it? that seams excessive to me . i have tore down my e maxx that i have had for several years ,several times
and it seams like the more you tear it down ,the screws dont seam to tighten up as well, i do try to start them in the same thread but that doesnt always work . any way
thanks for the input .

i just bash, so after a while i will change the oil/grease on my shocks and diffs, thats about it! i also do a quick check after every run to see if any screws have gone walkies..
