6. Operating Instructions
After successful installation of the CHICIRIS Metal Front Rear Axles, your RC car should exhibit enhanced performance due to the durable metal gears and robust construction.

7. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your CHICIRIS Metal Front Rear Axles, regular maintenance is recommended:
- Cleaning: Periodically inspect the axles for dirt, debris, or metal shavings, especially after use in dusty or muddy conditions. Clean the gears and moving parts thoroughly.
- Lubrication: Apply appropriate grease to the internal gears, particularly the outer planetary gears near the wheels, to reduce friction and wear. This can prevent issues like stiffness or grinding.
- Inspection: Regularly check all screws and connections for tightness. Ensure no parts are loose or damaged. Replace any worn or broken components promptly.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues after installing the axles, consider the following troubleshooting tips:
- Axles not turning freely: If the axles do not turn smoothly upon installation, it is recommended to open them up, clean the gears, and apply fresh grease. Metal shavings from manufacturing can sometimes cause initial stiffness.
- Unexpected speed reduction or motor issues: If your RC car experiences a significant reduction in speed or unusual motor behavior after the upgrade, check the polarity of the motor and battery plugs. Different ESC/receivers can have varying polarities. Adjusting the motor wire plug to match the correct polarity can resolve speed issues.
- Loose components: Ensure all screws and connections are securely fastened. Vibrations during operation can sometimes loosen parts.
