Default Team Associated RC10 B4.2 RS RTR - Newbie maintenance question

When I was a kid I had a Tamiya Hornet that I ran non-stop. (Still have it in fact and I'm restoring it.) I recently decided to get back into the hobby with an RC10 B4.2 RS RTR.

First off: I am really impressed with this buggy. I've run a half dozen 2S packs through it plus a couple 3S runs. I can't believe how fast it is on 3S or how well it handles in general. Out of the box its suspension makes the Hornet look like it didn't even have a suspension.

Any way...I was pretty young when I had the Hornet and I really didn't do much other then charge it, run it, and replace the tires or the occasional broken part. The diff was bullet proof...at least for the power of the stock motor on a NiCd...and I remember checking and adding grease once or twice, but that's it.

Is there anything I need to do in terms of maintenance with my RC10? Do I need to occasionally get into the gearbox and add grease or oil or anything? Or do anything with the motor? If a shock is leaking or a tire is going bald that's obvious. Keeping the car clean is obvious. But I don't know what to do, if anything, with the diff and motor.

Any advice would be appreciated.
