Take care of your model so that you can enjoy it for a long time to come. High performance vehicles produce small vibrations which may loosen hardware over time. Frequently check wheel nuts and other screws on your vehicle to ensure that all hardware remains properly tightened. Operating the High-Low Transmission Summit’s High-Low transmission is operated via the red rocker switch above the transmitter grip; depressing the upper part of the switch engages Low, depressing the lower part of the switch engages High. Summit may be shifted from Low to High while the truck is moving. However, it is recommended to slow to a speed appropriate for Low gear (about 5mph) before shifting from High to Low. This will reduce strain on the transmission gears. Although Summit’s 775 motor has ample torque for climbing and crawling in second gear, using first gear in situations that require low speed will extend motor life. Limit second-gear use to high-speed running. Operating the T-Lock Differentials For most driving, the Summit will perform best with both differentials unlocked or “open” (T-Lock switch up). This will give Summit maximum steering performance and the tightest possible turning radius, and will also reduce strain on the drive components. [. . . ] Check the wiring for any frayed wires or loose connections. Check the mounting of the receiver and servo(s) and speed control. Check the tightness of the wheel nuts with a wrench. Check the operation of the radio system, especially the condition of the batteries. [. . . ]
